The service at Restaurante Los Guayres was exceptional, with knowledgeable and attentive staff who provided excellent recommendations and made me feel welcome and well taken care of. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also lovely, with a cozy and intimate ambiance that made for a truly special dining experience. I would highly recommend Restaurante Los Guayres to anyone looking for exceptional food and service on Gran Canaria. It's an outstanding restaurant that offers an unforgettable dining experience that I will remember for a long time to come!

Beautiful meal in beautiful surroundings. Bit of a foodie, and couldn't find a fault. Canapes were especially extraordinary. Staff were professional and non intrusive. Every plate had a bit magic. Would revisit. If I had one criticism it would have been nice to get something a little extra as it was a special birthday. Also would be nice to get a taster menu card as a memento, with a list of the wines we had to match. And maybe meet the head chef? Have had this at other Michelin star restaurants.

Los Guayres is a lovely restaurant that served a very focussed menu with puristic tendencies that took a bit to get accustomed to. Personally I prefer bold flavours and creative new combinations so my first impression was a bit muted. Chef Álvarez started us off with a magnificent shrimp, maybe the best I ever ate in terms of pure product quality. But the corn-creme was just that. The baby-leek the same. Just the pure flavour, nothing added, no flair, nothing fancy. As the menu progresed, more and more spices and more intense flavours were added though. And as I adjusted to the idea behind the menu I have to admit I got to respect the thought that went into the composition of the menu as a whole. Where many other menus are just single, self-contained dishes this was a thought-through sequence with each menu building on each other. Even the flavours in the amuse bouche made sense in retrospect, foreshadowing flavours and ideas of the later menu. I think I have rarely experienced an entire evening of dishes that were so well composed. One lowpoint has to be noted: the marinated tuna Was overpowered by the added flavour that tasted too much like a herb mix from the average kitchen. Here I wished for a puristic handling of the beautiful fish. However the local cherne (another fish) was impecable and the accompanying beetroot reduction was marvelous. The goat was a triumph of full bodied flavours and the suckling pig with pineapple a succulent marvel. An elegant and wonderfully simple desert of orange and vanilla closed off the menu beautifully. Or would have because there was another, quite heavy composition of basil icecream and cactus-fig-mousse after that that was simply a bit much this far down the road. Overall a very intellectual menu with some great choices although not right down my alley. Big respect. I must also commend the attentive, well schooled and just friendly staff and the beautiful balcony we were seated on, overlooking an artificial little pond and garden of the hotel. It's very nice to enjoy a meal like this outside at sunset. Two notes: We don't drink alcohol and the restaurant was not equipped to offer much in terms of drinks where many others have complete alternative pairings ready to go. The restaurant does not allow to add a tip to the check paid by card. So unless you have cash on hand the staff may go unrewarded. Not a timely policy.
