La Brasa

A Las Palmas Asadero Since 1963

La Brasa is a charcoal-fired asadero in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Its own history traces the restaurant to 1963, when a friendship between local and Portuguese merchants helped inspire a charcoal chicken shop in the city. The original idea still defines the kitchen: whole chickens roasted over charcoal, with roast potatoes as a natural companion.

Chicken, Grill, and Dishes by Advance Order

The published menu centers on roast chicken and also lists pork ribs, bondiola, and other charcoal-cooked dishes. Some larger cuts require advance notice, a detail that shapes the experience as much as the cooking method. The business also offers delivery through ordering platforms.

La Brasa is best understood as a long-running neighborhood asadero rather than a broad-menu dining room: the draw is the charcoal flavor, familiar roast dishes, and a format suited to taking food home or ordering in. Its history gives the place a distinct local story, while the menu stays close to the straightforward pleasures of the grill.
