👍👍 The eggs were the highlight of my dinner here. This concept of this place is to share dishes, I came alone and some dishes were adapted to make them smaller so I could still try them. Nice service. People often mention menu, dishes, restaurant, good, great,

    Best restaurant since our stay in Spain mainland and the Canaries. Extreme original and professional crew.

    Everything was absolutely great. However, we were told that it's 6 rounds, turned out to be more. We should be happy about this and delighted. While we are, it was also very excessive. We didn't feel so good afterwards, I was actually even scared to sleep for fear of indigestion. The portion of the dishes were right and it did fill me up even if it was a tasting menu. I suggest sticking to 2 "heavy" mains and 1 dessert. Otherwise, everything was exceptionally beautiful. Our favorite was definitely the ox tail tacos, wild boar croquettes and the tom kha ghai dessert. What an experience! It was around €100+ for the 2 of us (both tasting menu and a glass of wine each). Best bang for your buck! Photos attached are the ones I absolutely recommend.

    Michelin rated so we booked in advance. We were offered a bar table rather than a proper table. We asked to be moved as there were tables free, but it was not possible. A table stood empty until e left. Besides the experience being a very uncomfortable one, the food was not to our taste. Only one dish was good, the carpaccio of sea bass. The meat dishes could have been warmed up, they were very mushy and the flavours combinations didn’t work and were odd.

    Rather odd taste combinations and unappealing presentation rather than a delicious or even tasting meal. I wouldn’t go back.

    Best food we had since we entered Spain. They should have a Michelin star. Extremely original prepared and tasteful. We like the small dishes and the combination of the starter, main and dessert was perfect!

    Delicious food, excellent service! We came here for one of our last holiday meals and were delighted with our experience. Our host was super friendly and helpful with both wine and food (actually advising us to order less), the food was innovative and really good, and we had a relaxed, fun dinner. Highly recommended! It also starts serving at 7.30, which is great for us Irish people:)

    Find this restaurant one of the best in Las Palmas and we have tried a fair few! The menu degustación was kindly substituted accordingly to suit our pescatarian needs. Service impeccable, and with endless dishes with a different touch and clear culinary expertise. The final cheesecake was superbly creamy and baked to perfection. So good to finally be served food on a warmed plate which rarely happens here. The only addition which we were expecting was a good champagne. Thankyou to all.

    The food wasn't bad but perhaps we were expecting to more sophisticated flavors. Some of the courses in the tasting menu were exciting (salpicón de atún, tiradito, eggs), but others like the canelón didn't impress us. We were excited for the black pig finale course that we had sen on the menu but they brought a different thing. They need to improve on the cleaning part. The carpet at the entry really dirty and toilets are not well taken care. Nevertheless the food is of quality and they have a good wine selection. Service was attentive and fast. I will call it more a gastrobar than a restaurant.

    Amazing. We tried 8 different dishes and commented either “wow” or “amazing” after each and every one of them. High-quality ingredients, very well cooked and creatively combined. The result was unconventional and delicious flavors. Worth mentioning: Croqueta de jabalí, canelones de ciervo, lasaña coreana and tarta de queso (in this one you can really taste the cheese, amazing). Thanks also to the staff, who was very friendly and suggested us well. Keep up the great work!

    Great food, exceptional service We went there with my friend in November, during the Covid situation and had a great experience. We have the most annoying food restrictions vegan/kosher and the waiter Christian went above and beyond to build us with the chef a testing menu we could eat. Local wines recommendations were also good Didn't have similar experiences in other restaurants of the island

    A modern restaurant with a twist on fusion cooking. Excellent service. Really enjoyed the vegetable curry and a potatoes dish. Worth a visit, just beware the menu changes.

    Beautifull reataurant, great original cocktails and refreshing flavours in the dishes. Deserves every bit the michelin sign at the door. +1 for the friendly staff.

    If I can give Picaro more than 5 stars I would have. It’s just perfection in every dish. In every presentation. Don’t miss eating at Picaro, it’s really worth it. It’s a Bib gourmand Michelin and it’s worth a star. Don’t miss the Canelloni !

    This place has Michelin recommendation, so I couldn't miss the opportunity to visit it during my stay in Las Palmas. It's probably the best restaurant in Las Palmas, but for Michelling recommendation it is a disappointment. First of all, we had a table booked at 8pm, we arrived 7:58 and the restaurant was still closed. After few minutes we were welcomed and sitted outside on a very windy day, the table looked very cheap and buses were passing by just few meters away. The menu was different from what we usually see in Michellin started restaurants. Tasting menu was unfortunately unavailable. The menu was offering several positions, which were recommended to be shared. Prices were different for English and Spanish versions, which looked really dodgy, but we were charged the lower prices after all. The main part now: food. The presentation was fabulous, michellin star level. Every dish was described and presented by the waitress or the chef himself (in very good English, which is quite rare in Spain). Unfortunately, the taste was disappointing. It seemed like chefs focused on the presentation but totally forgot that the taste is the most important factor. We ordered 7 dishes in total. Scallops were delicious, but that's it. Others were ok, but nothing impressive. Last part, the bill. The prices were reasonable. But... We were charged €1.50 for amuse-bouche, which is supposed to be free by definition. Seriosuly, for €100+ bill I cannot understand why restaurant on this level would charge for it. To sum up everything, its surely one of the best restaurant in Las Palmas, but for a Michellin recommendation it's unfortunately dissapoitning.

    We had a confirmed reservation for January 01, 2022 at 7.30pm. When we arrived the restaurant was closed. No previous notification of closure had been received. This ruined our evening. This shows how much The Management cares about their customers i.e not at all. Shame on you!!
