As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
At the Gioli Gourmet Club, located at C. Guatatiboa 11, 384 guests have given it a 4.9-star rating – more than any other restaurant on the south-east coast has achieved. La Lajita is part of the municipality of Pájara and is situated by the sea between Morro Jable and Costa Calma. The best restaurants in La Lajita specialise in fresh fish straight from the boat and Queso majorero served with homemade mojo. Those who prefer to avoid the large resorts can enjoy authentic Fuerteventura cuisine here at reasonable prices. There are eight restaurants to choose from.
Fish, cheese and mojo right by the Atlantic
Local mealtimes set the pace. Between 2 pm and 4 pm, several restaurants offer a ‚menú del día‘ for between 10 and 14 euros, comprising three courses and a drink. In the evening, dinner isn’t served until 9 pm. Menus are often only available in Spanish, so knowing a few basic phrases helps enormously. In smaller establishments such as Restaurante Ramón on Av. Fragata, it’s worth having cash to hand. At Easter and in August, it’s advisable to book a table; otherwise, you can usually just turn up.
