Restaurante Real de Vegueta is a neighbourhood restaurant on Calle Granadera Canaria in Vegueta, the historic old town of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on Gran Canaria in Spain's Canary Islands. Vegueta is where the city was founded in 1478, and its colonial streets, cathedral and museums make it the main sightseeing district. The restaurant serves Spanish cuisine, with no recorded Michelin status or chef lineage; its role is as a dependable table in the old town. The named dishes are a daily menu, grilled fish and rice dishes. The daily menu follows the Spanish custom of a fixed-price lunch with choices of starter, main and dessert, while grilled fish draws on Atlantic catch common in Canarian restaurants and rice dishes provide a shareable main. The dining room character is traditional and unhurried with no dress code, a moderate noise level and a mix of local and visiting diners. Beverage options typically include wine, beer and soft drinks; a notable wine programme is not documented, so diners wanting Canarian wines can ask for local labels. Prices are about EUR 15-30 per person (about USD 17-35), with the daily menu at the lower end and fish or rice higher. Service normally covers lunch and dinner, and hours should be confirmed locally. Walk-in seating is usual, but groups are advised to call ahead during peak tourist periods and local holidays. The restaurant works well as a lunch stop for visitors touring Vegueta's cathedral, the Casa de Colón and the Canarian Museum, since many sights are within a few minutes' walk and the surrounding streets are pleasant to explore after eating.
