Cuisine of Maspalomas for gourmets. Places for dinner - best restaurants

It is worth noting that the "tapas" culture is still less popular in local restaurants than in continental Spain. But in general, snacks are served in large quantities here. Not only tourists who want Spanish flavor, but also locals order them. Locals usually order snacks with Tropical beer. If you want to taste something truly island-like, you should order Arrugadas Tapas. However, it is better to do it away from places popular with tourists. A very large number of chefs replace the local small, unsightly-looking potatoes with the usual ones in Maspalomas. But the taste of the dish changes because of this. Arrugadas Tapas is a Canary potato in the skin. It is boiled in salty seawater. If you want to taste this dish, you should look for places where mostly locals eat lunch. However, this is also true for all authentic dishes.

You should taste gofio for breakfast. This is flour made from fried wheat grain with hot milk. The drink has an unusual taste. Appetizers, desserts, and side dishes are made from gofio. For example, a delicious mousse is obtained from this flour. Escaldon with gofio in fish broth is a rather specific dish. It resembles mashed potatoes by consistency. It's better to eat it with spicy Mojo. You should taste at least one of the delicious local cheeses. Queso de Flor, Queso Blanco, smoked Flor de Guia with Thistle flowers are the most popular varieties. But you can find a few dozen more at local restaurants and the market.

If you like soups, you should taste potage. This is quite a thick and very satisfying dish. Cabbage, watercress, beets, and wild mustard are always included in its composition. Be sure to taste Caldo de Pescado. It is a local version of fish soup. Interestingly, in addition to sea bass or grouper, potatoes are cooked in fish broth.
