ABOUT US
Our philosophy
Quality, passion and joy are our best guarantees for customer satisfaction.
Our goal is for people to leave the bar with no other feeling than the intention to come back as soon as possible to enjoy our home from home atmosphere.
We want to offer the best experience.
- By offering a more personal service, as to us it does matter what our clients think.
- By treating everyone friendly and with respect.
- By working together as a team with our professional and friendly waiters.
- By preparing every order with love and passion.
- By using the best ingredients. An Irish coffee is prepared with Jameson whisky.
- By offering a clean environment, as we think this is an important part of the client's experience.
- By listening and observing, we are always open to issues that we can possibly improve.
And by simply trying to do our best.
We want to offer something different and also promote local products.
For instance our unique cocktails, homemade sangría made with cava and our Canarian craft beers.
Our clients tell us that we have the best coffee in town 😉 and our homemade Iced version is... well, simply unbeatable.
We like to promote Canary Islands 🇮🇨 by offering different kinds of local drinks like beers, rums, gins and liqueurs.
Moreover we have products that are hard to find in other places, like the Port wine or Ricard, the French aperitif.
We hope that everyone will appreciate our philosophy and live The Good Life!
Whatever issue, doubt, complaint, question, please tell us so that we can continue to improve ourselves. See you soon!
Our history
Da Vinci
Nice to meet you! We are Peter and Sonja from The Netherlands. In 2012, a few weeks after arriving in Las Palmas, we opened the bar, which back then was called Da Vinci.
With no experience whatsoever but very motivated to learn and work - and with the help of the incredible Raúl, our waiter and all-round professor - we started a new life.
Over the years we changed the bar into something more "ours".
La Buena Vida
In 2018 we changed the name to La Buena Vida (The Good Life) because this name tells exactly what we want to experience with our employees and our clients: enjoy a cosy, clean and safe ambiance with high quality products, a fair treatment and a good service.
To accomplish this, we work together with the best waiters in a relationship based on kindness, respect and trust. They form an indispensable part of the key to the success that we have had over the years and that we hope to continue.
The logo: a fusion of The Good Life and the bar.
The logo shows a cocktail glass, although the form was born as a figure living The Good Life.
The figure lifts its arms up to the sky, like it is enjoying something. Could be the sun, could be it's just being happy.
The circle below is its base, the upper circle could be a tray that the waiter is carrying.
