← All restaurants in San Bartolome
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
San Bartolomé sits high up in the interior of Lanzarote, surrounded by volcanic landscape, and cooks with whatever the island has to offer. Malvasía wine from the La Geria wine-growing region features on the menus alongside fresh fish and papas. The 11 best restaurants in San Bartolomé aren’t located on a main road, but in squares such as Pl. León y Castillo and in old fincas. Como en Casa leads the way in village cuisine with 4.5 stars from 431 reviews. The Restaurante Finca De La Florida on C. El Parral demonstrates just how closely wine and cuisine are intertwined here.
Local cuisine meets volcanic wine: San Bartolomé
At lunchtime, between 2 pm and 4 pm, the Menú del día is available: a three-course meal with a drink for between 10 and 14 euros. In the evening, prices rise, particularly near the vineyards around Masdache, where Cervecera Malpeis Masdache, with a 4.7-star rating, is one of the best-rated venues. In summer and at Christmas, it’s worth booking a table, though this isn’t necessary in the smaller village bars. Make sure you have cash to hand. Knowledge of Spanish isn’t essential; a friendly attitude goes a long way in San Bartolomé.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any restaurants in San Bartolomé with outdoor terraces or sea views?
Several of the eleven restaurants in San Bartolomé have outdoor terraces, which suit their elevated location in the island’s interior.

Which restaurants in San Bartolomé are also frequented by locals?
San Bartolomé lies away from the coastal tourist areas, so the eleven restaurants and five bars are among the local population’s regular haunts. Como en Casa on Pl. León y Castillo and the Teleclub El Islote on Cl. Malvasia attract the neighbourhood with Canarian cuisine and wines from La Geria.
How much do restaurants in San Bartolomé cost on average?
Prices in San Bartolomé are in the mid-range and remain lower than in the coastal resorts. Main courses in the eleven restaurants usually cost between 10 and 18 euros. In the four cafés and five bars, lighter meals are cheaper, for example at Pastelería Lolita.
