We fell in love with the courteous staff and elegant vibe. The food was delicious - I had the fish of the day with gazpacho - and the waiters seemed to speak all the languages. A nice mixed crowd we enjoyed it so much we had dessert even though we were a little full already. Fresh mango sorbet and crème brûlée. Try it out and definitely try the local fish! read more

Restaurante Rias Bajas - The dining room with a really cool whale sculpture. - Spanish Near Me - Maspalomas, GC

Rías Bajas is the most formal restaurant we tried in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria. The interior reflects a contemporary, crisp white tablecloth seafood motif, with beautiful modern chandeliers and table settings (I loved the knives that stand on their blades). Hugo D and I were so taken by the delicious fish dishes we came back for a second dinner. Our first dinner started with a half Seafood Salad and amazing, fresh Grilled Razor Clams. The clams were so tasty and tender we ordered them at dinner #2. Our huge salt-baked fish for two came out with a flourish. The server expertly removed the salt crust and boned it for us. I did not have one bone on my plate! It was the best, freshest fish I've had in a long time. No bones to pick with this dish! Our second dinner was Grilled Turbot. This was a larger, less delicate white fish than our other dinner but was still good. It did not come boned as the fish slices were filet cut through the spine. We tried various glasses of wine, and by our second dinner just got a bottle of our favorite there, Lagar Ð Cevera Albariño 2022. Delicious with seafood! Service was excellent, formal but friendly, and the staff are definitely well-trained. The only downside to the ambiance the first night was a table of 12 with half being young children. A few were really unruly and annoyed many of the tables around us (some couples on dates, others with well-behaved kids). It didn't stop us from coming back because the food was so amazing. read more

The food was very good but the service was a bit chaotic. We stood for 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged we had arrived. Once seated menus were bought quickly and our orders taken. Menu is mostly fish which is done well. read more

Amazing food and service consistently!! My favourite restaurant on the the island. I recommend it every day

First of all, I have to mention that this place is right off the yumbo so you might expect it the sanctuary or the eating experience to be perhaps sullied by the banging bass and lurid cries from passing drag acts in cheaply made costumes! Have no fear your free to have your meal in peace, and by the way it is a little ok expensive side but it certainly is worth it. The staff are lovely, welcoming and polite (although I'll never get used to having my wine poured for me). The menu wasn't confusing and k had some help choosing a wine from the staff a Sauvignon blank coming at the 23 euro mark. A nice compliment to dishes I chose before hand. They do cater for you rich kids too, with every wannabe rappers favourite don perignon. Not for me though. So the food! The starter. I had the mussels, sea men's style (ooh err!) the broth was lovely and the portion size will be a good main in the UK Chris had the prawn salad which was fresh if looking a little dated but tasted fantastic with plenty prawns and leafy fresh salad and a wedge of lemon. I had turbot in saffron based sauce served simply, cross cut and cook to absolute perfection with some lovely Al dente vegetable and a nice firm tomato without skin. The wine really did make it a sensory triumph. Super delicate flavours to savour and enjoy with a few nice potatoes too which made nice moppers. Chris had the spiney crab (probably) sorry i can't really remember the exact name. But the flesh was lovely. Though a little fiddly as you need to crack of open with pliers. When they set out the cutlery I though it was a little more than a bit reminiscent torture chamber albeit a finely adorned chamber with well dressed, well mannered antedees. Then there was pudding. Omg, chocolate volcano for me and fresh strawberries and cream (actually whipped and piped by hand). The strawberries were so good and I nicked more than one as was the chocolate pudding. Rich tangy with a Seville marmalade with peel bits. Though personally I would have had fresh raspberries to cut the richness of the chocolate. All in it was around 130 euro. Yes it more expensive bit if you consider that that is only about 100 quid for 2 with wine and 3 courses. read more

After a long flight to Canary Island, we decided to come here for some seafood. Overall, the service was excellent, friendly staff and delicious food! We had grilled octopus, fresh sole, paella and ending it with Catalan cream. I'm very happy with this spot. read more
