Puerto de Mogán and other coastal towns in the south serve up ocean-to-table freshness, while mountain villages like Tejeda tempt with hearty stews and smooth local cheeses. And whether it's grilled octopus or sweet black pudding, they'll always be accompanied by the ubiquitous, tangy mojo dips, unique to the islands.
Our expert picks out the culinary highlights. Find out more below, or for more Gran Canaria inspiration, see our guides to the island's best hotels, things to do and beaches.
Las Palmas and the north
Piscos y Buches
It might look rough and rustic with its high stools and bench tables, but this is not your run-of-the-mill market eatery. This popular tapas restaurant within the Mercado del Puerto (Port Market) serves up gourmet Canarian staples like sweet black pudding, goat meat kebabs and an amazing grilled octopus with peppers and onion. There's also a huge selection of local wines to work your way through too, which is just as well as there are very few better places in the capital to while away your time people-watching with a glass of vino and some top-notch nibbles.
