Cafe del Mar Meloneras blends the laid-back vibe of a wine and cocktail bar with the energy of a live music venue and cabaret club — all set on the sunny southern coast of Gran Canaria. Situated just steps from the Pl. del Faro, it offers a vibrant spot for those wanting a mix of good food, creative drinks, and evening entertainment in Meloneras.

The atmosphere pulses with a relaxed yet lively energy, especially after sunset when the live band kicks in and the cabaret acts start. It’s the kind of place where you feel part of a crowd that's there for more than just a quick drink.

The menu leans towards Mediterranean and tapas-style dishes, featuring local influences like the Canary-inspired burrata salad and octopus served Galician style. Highlights to try include their ceviche of the day and the solomillo (sirloin), alongside some shareable plates such as hummus and grilled vegetables. Their cocktails, including classics like Pina Colada and more inventive options, get a lot of attention and are often crafted right at the bar, visible to guests — adding a bit of theater to the experience.

Service is friendly and attentive, though the menu’s format might feel slightly jumpy, mixing starters and mains in a way that’s not immediately intuitive. Because of this, it’s worth asking staff for guidance, especially if you’re sharing plates or planning the meal’s pacing. The venue encourages lingering; many visitors arrive in the evening and settle in for the music and cabaret shows that typically start around 9:30 pm.

For locals and visitors alike, Cafe del Mar is a place to spend a few hours winding down with good drinks and food while enjoying live entertainment that can be lively and at times quite loud — suitable for groups or couples who appreciate a spirited nightlife vibe rather than a quiet dinner.

Those seeking a technologically smooth experience might find the digital menu setup a bit cumbersome, as it requires downloading, but this doesn’t detract from the overall charm of the place. The venue allocates dining spots for a limited time before shifting guests to the more casual bar area, so planning ahead or prebooking is recommended, especially on weekends.

In short, Cafe del Mar Meloneras fits well for evenings out where food is part of the night but shared with cocktails, music, and a lively crowd. It’s well-suited for visitors who enjoy social dining combined with entertainment that starts late and carries a party atmosphere into the night.

We had such a great time at Café del Mar Gran Canaria! The drinks were fantastic, and it was brilliant watching the bartender making cocktails. A special mention to José Luis, who served us — he was so friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The live band was incredible and created such a great atmosphere. We’d definitely come back again!

Very pleasant evening. Staff where a little nonchalant and menu was quite confusing as it didn't flow, jumped from mains to starters then back to mains . I think a hand held menu would help and not one you have to download. The entertainment was brilliant but found it a little too loud. We would definitely come back as we did enjoy the food .

Had an excellent night, entertainment was superb. The truffle croquettes were amazing, the lamb was even better, do try the bread & olive oil very tasty. We had a Shisha which lasted a while too. Excellent value for money, you’ll have to pay to get in for such entertainment elsewhere… will definitely try again.

Had a great evening here last night and would strongly recommend. We had the prawn gyozas and the foccacia with sun dried tomatos which were both fantastic. As a bit of a warning; the foccacia is very big. Its the same price as the other starters so we were a bit surprised when this huge slab arrived so unless you're very hungry, consider that one a sharer. For mains it was the BBQ pork and shoulder of lamb. The lamb was beautiful, very tender and fell off the bone. The entertainment started just as we arrived and was pretty good, a very eclectic mix of singers, dancers and a violinist with an equally eclectic mix of songs. All in all we had a top evening, will be back next time we come to the island.

Pre-booked a table for dinner and glad we did. A superb evening with good quality food and great entertainment (starting at 9:30pm on a Saturday). Very attentive table service through the meal and once plates were cleared you just needed to ask for any extras. We had the steak and octopus which were both delicious. Table was secure for 1 hour 45 minutes before potentially being moved to the bar area but we were able to stay at our table due to our booking time and no one waiting looking for dinner. Would recommend for a nice dining/entertaining experience. Guitar and violinist were amazing.
