As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Sushi has become firmly established as a culinary staple on Lanzarote, a phenomenon that can be explained by the island’s natural conditions. The basis for the high-quality sushi on offer is Atlantic fish of exceptional freshness, delivered daily from the port of Arrecife. The most popular sushi restaurants are concentrated between the island’s capital and Puerto Calero, the region’s marina. Whilst each restaurant has its own distinctive character, they all benefit from their location right by the sea.
Fresh Atlantic fish meets Japanese precision
Restaurants on Lanzarote follow local meal times: dinner is usually served from 9 pm onwards; visiting earlier often means being offered tourist-oriented menus. Prices are in the mid-range, with some set lunch menus starting at twelve euros. In Arrecife, you’ll find particularly authentic eateries away from the Paseo Marítimo; the Kokoxili on the Rambla Medular, for example, is situated in a local residential neighbourhood and sometimes offers exclusively Spanish menus. Card payments are the norm, and bookings are recommended for the period between Christmas and Easter.
Tips for your visit
Sushi in Lanzarote usually features as a separate section amongst the 575 restaurants, rarely as a purely Japanese establishment. In the harbour districts of Arrecife, maki and nigiri feature on the menu alongside grilled fish from the Atlantic. Fresh tuna is used in sushi dishes there, sourced directly from local fishing grounds.
In the tourist centres along the east coast, you’ll find sushi venues with open counters where chefs slice the rolls in front of guests. A dry Malvasia from the La Geria wine region is occasionally served with the dishes. Along the waterfront promenades, the selection is mixed amongst 213 bars and 68 cafés.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best way to get to the sushi restaurants in Lanzarote?
Most sushi restaurants are located in tourist centres such as Puerto del Carmen, Playa Blanca and Costa Teguise, as well as in the capital, Arrecife. A hire car offers the greatest flexibility, as Lanzarote has a well-developed road network, whilst IntercityBus services connect the larger towns.
Are there any sushi restaurants in Lanzarote with outdoor terraces or sea views?
Many of the 575 restaurants along the seafront promenades of Puerto del Carmen and Playa Blanca have outdoor terraces with unobstructed sea views of the Atlantic. If you’re looking for sushi with a panoramic view, you’ll find several restaurants along the promenade on Avenida de las Playas in Puerto del Carmen.
Which sushi restaurants in Lanzarote are also frequented by locals?
Locals often prefer restaurants away from the purely touristy areas, such as in Arrecife and the residential areas of the larger towns. There, Asian cuisine and sushi are increasingly becoming part of the culinary scene, which is otherwise characterised by Canary Islands fish dishes and local wines from La Geria.
