Miramar Restaurant — Restaurant in San Bartolomé de Tirajana

This is located a bit oddly in the yumbo center, I’m not used to finding good restaurants in shopping centers, but after seeing some pictures online I really wanted to try it.

To start with the staff is extremely charming and nice. I was late to inform them about my nut allergy but they didn’t even hesitate for a second to accommodate my allergy even after ordering.

I had the gambas al ajillo for a starter, and I have to say it was really good. Prawns had a very sweet and nice fresh taste to them, meanwhile I was a bit worried about amount of garlic I saw in my plate. But the chef had cooked them to perfection, the strong garlic flavor has been dissipated in the oil, and I had both some very soft slices of garlic, along with some that had just been sitting on top of the oil and were crispy like chips; but they still weren’t burned which gave an amazing change of textures while eating. The bread the accompanied it was also just wonderful, the crispy exterior and soft insides that was able to soak up every flavor from the prawns, to the garlic, to the chili, from that oil everything had been cooking’s in.

As a main I had the steamed mussels, they were pretty good, had a nice flavor to them and along with the lemon juice I think they worked very well. While it was good, I feel like it maybe didn’t stand out as much, I think some herbs would’ve really brought the dish to life. I think that had it only been the gambas this place is a 5, but if I combine it with the mussels I’d have to take it...

SIMPLY THE BEST. Spent quite a bit of time at Miramar Restaurant & Bar and it was just fantastic on every visit.

I had initially looked the place up before our holidays, searching for somewhere that served craft beer and was absolutely delighted to find a fridge full of beers from Basqueland, Naparbier, Gross and Gran Canarias Galotia Brewing, to name a few. I met the ownwer Roberto and quickly struck up a conversation about mine and his love for the craft beer scene. We instantly became 'beer buddies'. Even sharing with him a few tins that I had brought from the UK.

We ate there multiple times and were so impressed with the delicious food. My wife and I had quite a few lovely salads, some tapas dishes, a mixed meat dish and THE best paella that I've had in along time and usually finishing with an INCREDIBLE irish coffee.

To top it off, all these tasty dishes and drinks were served by THE most hardworking and lovely staff who always greeted us with such a big smile.

Cannot recommend Miramar enough and if I could give them 6 stars I would.

Next time we visit Maspalomas, Gran Canaria, Miramar will be our first port of call.

Thank You Roberto &...

Great Food, Mixed Service Experience

We visited this restaurant on both our first and last nights on the island. Our first visit was a great experience, thanks to the friendly staff and delicious food. It left such a good impression that we decided to return for our final dinner.

On our first visit, we started with appetizers—garlic mushrooms and mushrooms with ham—which were both lovely. For mains, we had the mixed paella and pork schnitzel. The portions were generous, and we enjoyed the dishes, though we couldn’t finish everything due to the size.

Unfortunately, our second visit didn’t live up to our first experience. The waiter who served us wasn’t very friendly or approachable, and it felt like he didn’t enjoy serving guests. It was a bit disappointing after such a positive first impression.

That said, the food here is excellent, and it’s worth visiting if you’re in the area. Just be mindful that the service...
