Restaurants in Lanzarote

Lanzarote’s restaurant scene isn’t just about food, it’s about atmosphere. You’ll find places where the ocean breeze carries the smell of grilling fresh fish, like at Casa Pedro in Puerto del Carmen, a local favorite thanks to its straightforward, honest cooking.

And it's not all seafood and tapas. If you’re around the old town of Teguise on a Sunday, pop into one of the little family-run spots serving up conejo al salmorejo , a Lanzarote rabbit stew done right. It’s genuine island cooking, the kind that’s been made the same way for decades.

If you’re after something a little different, try the volcanic wine pairings with your meal at El Diablo up in Timanfaya. Eating above a volcanic crater isn’t usual anywhere else, that’s for sure. Just a heads up, though, reservations are a good idea in the busy seasons, because spots fill up fast.

So you want tapas by the sea or a laid-back dinner with local ingredients? Lanzarote delivers, often with a side of views that’ll stay in your head long after the last bite. And if you find yourself craving simple grilled sardines, you’re already thinking like a local.
