At lunchtime, locals from La Oliva fill the tables at Restaurante Yerro on Calle Coronel Glez del Yerro. This sight speaks volumes about the quality, more so than any star rating. Twelve restaurants are scattered throughout the small surfing village in the north of Fuerteventura, and the 12 best restaurants in Lajares thrive on their regular clientele. Kuma Lajares has collected 875 reviews, whilst Nuestro Estilo Empanadas on Cl. Majanicho has achieved a perfect 5.0 stars. Here, Queso majorero features on the plate as an everyday ingredient, not as a speciality for visitors.
Lajares: Local cuisine away from the tourist crowds
The ‚menú del día‘ offers the most authentic taste of Lajares‘ cuisine. Between 2 pm and 4 pm, restaurants serve a three-course meal including a drink, costing on average between 10 and 13 euros. At Camello Bandido on Cl. Majanicho, the menus are often in Spanish only, and smaller establishments prefer to be paid in cash. ALQUIMIA Los Lajares is on the same street and has received 72 reviews with an average rating of 4.8 stars. Queso majorero, Fuerteventura’s only cheese with a Protected Designation of Origin, is a staple in the kitchens here.
