← All restaurants in Puerto Del Carmen
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Puerto del Carmen is divided into two distinct worlds: the hotel zone along Avenida de las Playas and the old fishing harbour of Puerto Viejo. There are six cafés scattered across Lanzarote’s largest tourist resort, and the best cafés in Puerto del Carmen are rarely found amongst the hotel chains. The Kalma Café on Calle Reina Sofía has 1,371 reviews, whilst the Kalmacafé Avenida in the Centro Comercial Marítimo boasts a 4.8-star rating. Between the promenade and the harbour, the location determines the sort of cortado on offer and the clientele.
Coffee between the fishing harbour and the hotel zone
Cafés in Puerto del Carmen come alive in the morning. By ten o’clock, the terraces at El Kiosco on Avenida de las Playas 51 are often full. A café con leche with tostada costs between two and four euros – more than in the island’s interior, but cheaper than on Fuerteventura or Tenerife. Card payments are accepted in almost all establishments, though at the little Tamarindos Bistró on Calle Salinas, cash is still the way to go. If you speak Spanish, you’ll discover daily fresh specialities in addition to the menu at Aroma Columbian Coffee at Avenida de la Playa 7.
Tips for your visit
Along Avenida de las Playas, there is a cluster of establishments overlooking the beach promenade. El Kiosco and the Kalmacafé Avenida attract breakfast guests in the mornings, whilst Aroma Columbian Coffee serves Colombian coffee at number seven on the same street. Waiters carry trays along the cobbled paths towards the coast.
Things are quieter around the old fishing harbour of Puerto Viejo. Flamingo’s at 2 Calle Timanfaya has a rating of 4.8 stars from 396 reviews, whilst the little Tamarindos Bistró on Calle Salinas has 67 so far. Nestled amongst the cafés are 30 bars, whose terraces fill up in the late afternoon.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any cafés in Puerto del Carmen with outdoor seating or sea views?
Of the six cafés, several are situated right on Avenida de las Playas and have outdoor seating. El Kiosco at number 51 and the Kalmacafé Avenida in the Centro Comercial Marítimo open out onto the beach promenade; from some of the tables, you can enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean and the beaches beyond.
Which cafés in Puerto del Carmen are frequented by locals?
Locals often avoid the terraces on Avenida de las Playas, preferring to sit in the cafés around the old fishing harbour. There, in the fishing quarter of Puerto Viejo, the atmosphere – as at Flamingo’s on Calle Timanfaya – blends with everyday life away from the main promenade.
How much do cafés in Puerto del Carmen cost on average?
The six cafés are in line with prices typical of a tourist resort on Lanzarote. A coffee usually costs between two and four euros, whilst a light breakfast or a snack often costs between six and twelve euros. The Kalma Café on Calle Reina Sofía and Aroma Columbian Coffee fall within this price range.
