El Senador Beach House, an emblematic establishment in Gran Canaria, has solidified its reputation as an essential culinary destination, offering a unique gastronomic experience that attracts diners from all over.

Strategically located at the foot of the lighthouse, at the beginning or end of the renowned Maspalomas beach, El Senador Beach House has transcended the mere definition of a restaurant to become a meeting point and refuge. Its recent renovation has been a meticulous intervention that has improved both the aesthetics and the essence of its cuisine, maintaining the quality of its uninterrupted service.
This establishment achieves a complex balance between the charm of a sophisticated beach bar and the excellence of a high-end restaurant. Its philosophy focuses on product freshness and precise preparations that enhance the natural flavor of meats, fish, rice dishes, and seafood. In this new phase, they have strengthened their connection with the territory, using products from the Gran Canaria pantry, such as the cachopo with Teror chorizo.
El Senador's menu is impeccable, but there are five dishes that its customers seek and crave, making them the main reason to return again and again. These are the essentials that define the culinary experience of the place:
The papas arrugadas with El Senador's mojo are, for many, the best on the island. Their secret recipe mojo is deep, creamy, and persistent, perfectly complementing the wrinkled potatoes. Another pillar is the expression of the sea, with precise fried dishes like their crispy calamari, a favorite craving of customers.
The japo taco, with its addictive marinated red tuna wrapped in delicate filo pastry, has become the most photographed dish on the island. El Senador's rice dishes, executed with Mediterranean tradition, are another strong point, reflecting the quality of its “mirror location” in Menorca. Finally, the lobster with french fries and fried eggs, also imported from Menorca, is the most desired dish by diners, guaranteeing maximum freshness as it is selected live minutes before preparation.
