Restaurante Hermanos Rogelio, a landmark in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria since 1969, celebrates its goat meat gastronomic days, highlighting the quality and authenticity of Canarian cuisine.

In the heart of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Restaurante Hermanos Rogelio has stood as a pillar of traditional Canarian cuisine since its opening in 1969. This establishment has successfully preserved the authenticity of local recipes, attracting both residents and visitors.
Its gastronomic offering focuses on honest cooking, where quality ingredients, respect for tradition, and homemade preparation are the fundamental pillars. The menu features a selection of dishes that pay homage to timeless flavors, becoming an integral part of the island's culinary identity.
Among its must-try dishes are the ensaladilla rusa (Russian salad), praised for its creaminess and balanced ingredients; the slow-cooked roasted pork leg, renowned for its juiciness and deep flavor; the comforting potaje de berros (watercress stew), an emblematic Canarian dish; and the flavorful ropa vieja, a mix of chickpeas, shredded meat, and potatoes.
In celebration of Canary Islands Day, the restaurant is hosting gastronomic days dedicated to cabrito (young goat), running until May 30th. This initiative allows diners to enjoy dishes that highlight the tenderness and nuances of this emblematic product, raised on the islands and holding deep cultural and economic roots in the archipelago.
The special menu includes caldereta de cabrito (goat stew), slow-cooked to achieve a tender texture; baked cabrito, served with peppers and roasted potatoes, where simplicity enhances the meat's natural flavor; and the intense cabrito al ajo cabañil (goat with shepherd's garlic), a rustic dish characterized by the potency of garlic and the meat's juiciness.
