Mardi Gras

Situated in the heart of the famous Six pack Zone in the Yumbo Centre, you'll find Peppermint right next door to Parrots. A cosy bar-cafe, offering great cocktails with a French twist, you will be hostedby Bastian and Jonathan who will be at your disposal to make your stay as pleasant as possible. We're told that their Bruschetta with Mediterranean flavors and homemade gourmet waffles are not to be missed.

Legendary on the Gran Canaria gay scene, Cafe Wien is best known as the pit-stop for weary beach goers heading home after a day on the sands. Located on the terrace on the top floor at the back of the Cita Centre and only open in the afternoons, you'll find a warm gay-friendly welcome, along with a chiller full of delicious German type cakes. Often very busy, but it's worth the wait for some of the best cakes in the resort.

You can find Mardi Gras on the ground floor of the Yumbo centre next door to Fiction bar, near Burger King. Recently refurbished and with a spacious outside terrace, it's a great choice to enjoy your afternoon and evening cocktails with the friendly staff offering a warm welcome.

If you are looking for great British food in Playa del Ingles, then head to the English Bakery Cafe. Hosted by Brits Jae and Steve, you'll find a wide range of home baked items, including scones and a wide range of pies. Plus their fish and chips cannot be beaten! If you just want a drink, then they have plenty of gins to choose from. Now in a new location in Los Arcos Bungalows.

Adonis is located in the so called Six Pack area on the ground floor of the Yumbo, next to Bar Junior. Tends to be popular with a German crowd, and opening at 18:30, you can stop by on you way back from the beach for a smoothie or cappucino. Later on, it gets busier, and serves a very good beer, especially if you are a fan of Kolsch from Cologne.

On the ground floor of the Yumbo Centre, in the same area as Diamonds Bar, Buddies offers a warm welcome. Open from 10am, there is a choice of hearty food here, such as a great English breakfast. Look out for their cabaret shows and legendary quiz nights.
