← All restaurants in Lanzarote
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Japanese cuisine is available at just a handful of venues on Lanzarote, and it is precisely this scarcity that makes the choice so intriguing. The 11 best Japanese restaurants on Lanzarote are spread between Marina Rubicón in Playa Blanca, the harbour at Puerto Calero and the island’s capital, Arrecife. Shibumi Japanese Cuisine on Calle el Berrugo has 290 reviews and a rating of 4.6 stars. Some chefs prepare fresh Atlantic catches using Japanese techniques – a combination that is rarely found on the Spanish mainland.
Japanese restaurants in Lanzarote: locations and prices
These restaurants usually don’t open until around 7 or 8 pm; there’s no continuous lunch service with an affordable ‚menú del día‘ here. The bill comes to between 25 and 50 euros per person, with drinks charged separately. All accept card payments. The Sushi Bar Minato in Puerto Calero is situated in the Edificio Antiguo Varadero, right by the marina, and has 387 reviews. As the premises are small, the tables fill up quickly during the Christmas holidays and in August; a booking will secure you a table.

Tips for your visit
Arrecife has the highest concentration of sushi restaurants. Kokoxili Sushi on Calle Rbla. Medular has 974 reviews – more than any other Japanese restaurant on the island. SushiTake appears twice: once at the HiperDino in the Open Mall on Calle León y Castillo, and once at the airport at kilometre 4.7. The island’s 575 restaurants provide the backdrop against which these sushi bars hold their own.
On the outskirts of the tourist centres lie the quieter establishments. Mr Chen Ramen Restaurant in Playa Honda, on Calle Chimidas, specialises in noodle soups and has garnered 63 reviews. A Malvasia from La Geria, whose vines grow in hollows in the black lava rock, pairs well with many menus. After a meal, several of the island’s 213 bars are within walking distance.
