Restaurant Columbus

One of the best places I've eaten in Gran Canaria, but then again, a lot of places here serve incredible food. The servers were really nice and helpful, they were joking with us and recommended us many things to do and see around Gran Canaria/Maspalomas. We initially didn't even come here to eat, we just sat down and had some lemon sorbet and drinks, because it was extremely hot on that day. We were sitting for quite a long time, however the servers didn't mind at all, and the place was not completely full anyway. HOWEVER, people around us kept ordering paellas, and the smell was absolutely incredible. The view of the paellas was, too. After some time we decided to order a seafood paella, because we became hungry from looking and smelling what other people ate around us. It was the best decision we ever made. We got a huge seafood paella, loaded with freshest possible ingredients. It was SO GOOD. We also ordered some bruschetti and shrimps in butter sauce. Everything was great, but paella was the absolute star of the show. I have never eaten a paella this good, in my life. Not to mention we were 4 people, and could not even finish it. It was huge (but then again, it was 38C outside that day). Afterwards we got incredible glass of homemade sangria, on the house. All in all it was a great experience and I keep dreaming about that paella which I ate there. It is worth mentioning tho, that prices in Maspalomas are slightly higher than the ones in Las Palmas. It makes sense, considering that Maspalmas is an extremely touristy town full of big hotels and resorts for the elite.

Also pro tip: DEFINITELY try the orange slices in the paella!! They were INCREDIBLE to eat after all the seafood and rice.
