The ground floor of an 1865 house
The Agáldar Restaurant occupies the ground floor of the Hotel Emblemático Agáldar, a restored 1865 building at Plaza de Santiago 14, in the centre of Gáldar, the first capital of Gran Canaria. You eat on the square of the church of Santiago, with the Cueva Pintada a couple of minutes' walk away, on Calle Audiencia. It is open to everyone, not just to hotel guests.
Produce from the north, cooking of today
The house presents itself as contemporary cooking in which local and seasonal produce takes the lead, with Canarian tradition as its base. The website does not publish a menu, dishes or prices, and the offer changes with the season: ask about the fish of the day and about what has come in that week. If budget matters to you, ask the price when you book. You eat in the patio dining room, the one with hanging ferns that you can see in the hotel's photos. The hotel also has a terrace on the second floor that looks over the historic centre.
Wednesday midday only, closed Monday and Tuesday
It is closed on Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday it opens at midday only, from 13:00 to 16:00. On Thursday it serves lunch from 13:00 to 16:00 and dinner from 19:30 to 23:00; on Friday, lunch from 13:00 to 16:00 and dinner from 20:00 to 23:30.

Book by phone on 928 897 433, or by email at [email protected]; the booking button on the website is the hotel's.
A Sunday with a museum
On Sundays admission to the Cueva Pintada is free, but it cannot be booked: tickets are handed out on the day at the museum from opening, at 11:00, until capacity is full. The route takes about 70 minutes, so a mid-morning ticket leaves you on the square at lunchtime. Beware of Mondays: the museum and the restaurant close at the same time. During the week, Wednesday to Saturday, buy your museum ticket in advance on its website.
Getting to the square
By car, about 30 minutes from Las Palmas along the GC-2. The car park closest to the museum is at Calle Guillén Morales 1A; from there everything is on foot. Without a car, Global bus lines 103 and 105 and the direct 100 link Las Palmas with Gáldar. If you want to stay, the rooms of the Hotel Agáldar are in the same building.
What to order: whatever is in season and the fish of the day; ask for a table on the terrace if the weather is good
