Restaurante Grill La Casa Vieja — Restaurant in San Bartolomé de Tirajana

Tried this place for the first time yesterday…service very friendly, although we seemed a little forgotten at times as no one would come by where we were seated… Atmosphere is ok, nothing fancy but nice and comfortable Food was just ok…aioli portion very small for the price and 2 bread rolls that come with it so you end up having bread left over but no aioli… We ordered the queso ahumado nothing great came out very quickly and the cheese was lukewarm at best… I ordered the solomillo, nice portion of meat and it was good but lacked a lot of seasoning, no salt or anything added really…real shame for the quality of meat it was… My partner ordered the matahambre pizza, again looked great but also lacked a lot of seasoning…the mojo of the papas arrugadas was watery, almost tasteless…sorry wish I could say it wasn’t so but it was..and I hardly seasoned my food at home due to health reasons but even to my standards the food lacked a lot of flavour, sadly don’t think we’ll be...

We politely explained that the seafood was overcooked and the tomato salad was made of white tomatoes, obviously unripe. To our surprise the waiter didnt seem to care. Another one came up and charged us without saying a word - a dramatic change from the smiles we received upon entering.

Please do not waste your time and...

An exceptional experience showcasing the very best of traditional Canarian food. This restaurant offered some of the most authentic dishes we encountered throughout the south of Gran Canaria. The menu is thoughtfully curated, with a wide range of options suitable for both discerning palates and younger guests.

Standout dishes included the rich and tender goat stew, delicately crisp pollo and ham croquettes, vibrant fresh salads, and perfectly sautéed garlic prawns. The house-made desserts were a highlight—especially the nostalgic Grandma’s Cake and the wonderfully smooth Gofio Mousse, both offering a true taste of the island’s heritage.

This is a restaurant that rises well above the typical tourist offerings. A must-visit for those seeking genuine, high-quality Canarian cuisine in an elegant yet...
