Come to meet De Contrabando
The restaurant
De Contrabando was born in 2019 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria as the first gastronomic project of the Canary Islander Chef, Pedro López La Camera. A small and welcoming restaurant with an open kitchen where you will be able to see the full staff in action.
The elegance and music of the restaurant create a genuine Gatsby-style atmosphere whose design will send you back to the Roaring Twenties, when contraband brewed among the best venues. We are waiting for you!
Our food
In De Contrabando we offer a fun proposal of fusion cuisine with influences of various corners of the world, mainly from South America and Southeast Asia, along with the best local products of excellent quality. Combining different cooking techniques, we seek innovation and enhancement of the flavours to obtain the most delicious and daring plates to savour.
All the proposals of our menu are conceived under the idea of sharing them with whoever you wish, so you can enjoy a unique experience together.
