Cafe del Mar Meloneras
Inside Cafe del Mar Meloneras
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.
