Eating out on Fuerteventura: Opening times, prices, tips
At lunchtime between 2 pm and 4 pm, the ‚Menú del día‘ offers the best value, with a three-course meal including a drink for between 10 and 14 euros. Prices rise in the evening, and it’s worth booking in advance at Easter or in August. In the island’s interior, near Betancuria, menus are often in Spanish only. Family-run establishments and guachinches prefer cash to cards, so it’s best to keep some small notes in your wallet. Tipping is optional, but five to ten per cent is considered appropriate.
