San Bartolomé lies in the interior of Lanzarote, perched high above a volcanic landscape, and offers authentic Canary Islands cuisine rather than tourist fare. The 12 best restaurants in San Bartolomé are rarely found on the main road, but rather in the narrow streets around the parish church or on fincas on the outskirts of the town. The Restaurante Finca De La Florida on Calle El Parral has a rating of 4.7 stars from 118 reviews. The Pizzeria El Callejon on Calle los Reyes has a rating of 4.7 stars from 728 reviews. Malvasía from La Geria features on many menus.
Local cuisine amongst vineyards and volcanic rock
The ‚Menú del día‘ is the main lunch offering: from 2 pm to 4 pm, a three-course meal including a drink is served for between 10 and 14 euros, often accompanied by a glass of Malvasía from the surrounding lava soil. In the evening, prices and footfall rise. The Teleclub Montaña Blanca in Montaña Blanca prefers cash to cards. Outside the peak season, you can usually get a table without a booking. The menus are mostly in Spanish only, so knowing a few words will help when ordering.
