Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best way to get to the restaurants in Caleta de Famara?
Caleta de Famara is situated on the north-west coast of Lanzarote and can be reached via the LZ-401 from Teguise. The 14 restaurants, two bars and one pizzeria are all clustered in the compact village centre near the sandy beach, so the establishments on Av. el Marinero and in the side streets are all within walking distance of one another. Parking spaces can be found along the beach promenade and in the village’s narrow streets.
Are there any restaurants in Caleta de Famara with outdoor terraces or sea views?
Several of the 14 restaurants have outdoor terraces overlooking the long sandy beach, the Famara massif and the offshore island of La Graciosa. The sunset behind the Risco de Famara makes these spots particularly popular, such as at Grill la Posada or Restaurante Costa Famara at C. Montaña Clara 28. During the peak season, it’s worth booking well in advance.
Which restaurants in Caleta de Famara do the locals frequent?
Locals mainly head to the fish restaurants, as the focus there is on fish caught fresh from the sea in this traditional fishing village. Residents and surfers meet up in the two bars away from the seafront promenade. Smaller establishments in the village centre, such as the Teleclub Famara at C. San Borondón, remain a favourite haunt for the local population all year round.
