← All restaurants in Lanzarote
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Lanzarote’s finest dining experiences are tucked away from the tourist hotspots. Instead, the 12 best restaurants on Lanzarote can be found in the neighbourhoods of Arrecife, the port town on the east coast. La Ripia is in the Argana Alta neighbourhood, Mundo D’licias is on Calle Argentina, and Origen is in the Soco Shopping Centre. Connoisseurs consider the island’s papas to be the best in the whole of the Canary Islands. Atlantic fish is served with mojo sauce, accompanied by a glass of Malvasía from La Geria, where the vines grow in funnel-shaped hollows of black lava rock.
Lanzarote’s cuisine: wine, fish and volcanic soil
At the local lunchtime, around 2 pm, the ‚Menú del día‘ – a three-course meal including a drink – costs between 10 and 14 euros. Dinner starts later and is more expensive. Family-run restaurants and ‚guachinches‘ often only accept cash, and their menus are frequently in Spanish only. A basic knowledge of Spanish will come in handy at such establishments. At Christmas and Easter, a booking in advance ensures you get a table. At Pizzeria Aurora in Tahiche or MAJOS GastroBar in Costa Teguise, a phone call during the high season will secure you a table.
