Restaurante La Majada has become an essential stop for anyone visiting Artenara, the highest village in Gran Canaria. Located in the heart of the municipality, this welcoming establishment stands out for its traditional Canarian cuisine made with local products and warm service that makes every guest feel at home.
Among its most celebrated specialties, you'll find hearty and flavorful dishes like tender pork knuckle, melt-in-your-mouth braised beef cheeks, and octopus that practically dissolves on your palate. But if there's something that truly captivates diners, it's their grilled cheese—a creamy, golden delight that captures the essence of island gastronomy. The chickpea stew and homemade desserts, especially the cheesecake, round out a truly satisfying dining experience. With a relaxed atmosphere and very reasonable prices, La Majada has earned a loyal following of locals and visitors who return without hesitation. Open Tuesday through Sunday for lunch and Friday evenings too, perfect after exploring the mountain trails.
