The island’s exceptional climate means that both tourists and residents can enjoy the best leisure activities on the continent at any time of the year.

In spring, summer, autumn or winter, with the sun shining on our faces or under the stars: the point is to take to the streets and have a good time. We have made a tour of the terraces where you can enjoy the best atmosphere. Which of these 10 proposals would you choose? We’ll take them all!
Gran Canaria Terraces
Visiting Gran Canaria and not enjoying its incredible terraces would be sacrilege. The good weather in the capital of the Canary Islands invites you to go out and socialise and, by the way, have a beer or two. Discover a charming garden, the most chic atmosphere, the most beautiful views of the city or the perfect place to disconnect. The adventure begins! We’ve convinced you, haven’t we? Are you looking forward to enjoying a refreshing drink on a terrace? Here are the 10 best terraces in Gran Canaria.
1. Mr. Kale Maspalomas
Mr. Kale takes the place of Swing Restaurant and will offer more than 150 dishes in a completely renovated environment, from the interior to the beautiful terrace. Mr. Kale was born in 2016 as the first pokebar in Gran Canaria with the aim of offering a healthy, tasty and enjoyable alternative. To achieve this, ingredients from the garden are mixed with the best meat and fish. Mr. Kale’s cuisine is based on the preparation of his dishes at low temperatures, the absence of fats, the use of embers and vacuum cooking. All of this is focused on reducing unnecessary calories but always maintaining the flavour and fun in each dish.
2. Elder Terrace
The Terraza Elder Restaurant opens its doors to become the gourmet place of reference in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Located in Santa Catalina Park, the most cosmopolitan place in the city, it invites you to discover different flavours of the world and expand among the international visitors that arrive every year to our Pier. A stroll through Santa Catalina Park or a visit to the Elder Museum could be the beginning of your best gastronomic experience for the whole day.
3. Hawaii Poke Las Canteras
The pioneer of the Hawai Poke chain, Hawai Poké Las Canteras is where it all began. This small place with terrace and sea views is located very close to the Paseo de Las Canteras, next to the figure of El Pescador. There you can enjoy their famous pokes, a delicious and healthy dish typical of Hawaii, and at Hawai Poke they use the highest quality tuna, salmon and tofu for their Poké Bowls. Customise your bowl with a variety of sauces from spicy mayonnaise to classic poké and toppings such as seaweed and crispy onions – the combinations are endless! Create your favourite bowl or try one of our chef-designed bowls, because fast food can be healthy too! The selection of condiments has been heavily influenced by Japanese and other Asian cuisines, so don’t miss out on the spectacular terrace!
