A stylish rooftop restaurant and bar above Las Canteras beach with panoramic sea views. Serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes with Canarian products, and creative cocktails at sunset.
La Traviata Rooftop Bar & Restaurant is a stylish elevated dining and cocktail venue in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, positioned above the Las Canteras promenade on Calle Tomás Miller in the Canary Islands. The rooftop setting is the restaurant's defining feature: from the terrace, panoramic views extend across Las Canteras beach — frequently cited as one of Europe's finest urban beaches — and out to the open Atlantic, with the curved shoreline and the natural reef protecting the bay both visible on clear days. The restaurant operates across two identities: as a lunch and dinner kitchen serving Mediterranean-inspired dishes using Canarian products, and as a cocktail bar that comes into its own at sunset and during the evening. The food menu centres on sharing plates and main courses with a Mediterranean accent: burrata with locally grown tomatoes and basil, grilled tuna with a citrus and caper dressing, and mixed salads using Canarian peppers, avocado, and olive oil. Cocktails are creative and well-executed, with a menu that changes seasonally and features Canarian fruit and herbs where possible. The wine list offers Spanish and international options at prices appropriate to a rooftop bar rather than a fine dining room. The atmosphere evolves through the day — relaxed and sunlit at lunch, progressively livelier through the afternoon and evening as the cocktail bar element grows. Mains average €19 and cocktails run €10–14. The full span from 12:00 to midnight makes it one of the most versatile venues on the Las Canteras strip.

The rooftop terrace itself is on one level once reached.
Frequently asked questions
Is La Traviata primarily a restaurant or a bar?
It operates as both — a full kitchen restaurant at lunch and dinner, and a cocktail bar throughout the day. The ratio shifts toward bar-focused in the late evening when the kitchen winds down.
Do I need a reservation?
Reservations are recommended for dinner, particularly on weekends. The terrace is popular and the best view tables are limited. Lunch walk-ins are generally possible on weekdays.
Is the rooftop accessible by lift?
Access to the rooftop depends on the building's configuration. Visitors with mobility limitations should contact the restaurant in advance to confirm lift access to the terrace level.
What is the cocktail price range?
Cocktails run approximately €10–14. A house wine by the glass is around €5–7. The pricing is typical of a premium view venue rather than a neighbourhood bar.
