← All restaurants in Lanzarote
As of: October 2026 (updated regularly)
Tías stretches from the island’s interior to the coast at Puerto del Carmen, and the restaurants follow this route. Casa Isidoro on Calle Mount Teide, with a 4.9-star rating, represents town-centre cuisine, whilst Lani’s Gourmet Restaurant on Avenida de las Playas offers a more upmarket dining experience by the water. The 12 best restaurants in Tías combine Lanzarote’s wine culture with Malvasía from La Geria and fresh Atlantic fish. Vive Libre at the CC Costa Luz has garnered 157 reviews, averaging 4.9 stars. Anyone who reduces Tías to mere holiday dining is underestimating the town.
Tías: Local cuisine between the volcano and the Atlantic
At lunchtime, the ‚menú del día‘ costs between 10 and 14 euros and includes three courses plus a drink, often served with ‚papas de Lanzarote‘. Dinner starts no earlier than 9 pm. A table at 6 pm usually means you’ll be sitting amongst fellow holidaymakers. In smaller establishments away from the beach area, it’s best to pay in cash, and a basic knowledge of Spanish makes ordering easier. Restaurante Mezzaluna, with 1,207 reviews, is situated on Avenida la Cañada in La Cañada, in the island’s interior. Reservations aren’t necessary outside the peak season.

The veneration of the Virgen del Carmen, patron saint of fishermen, is reflected in the maritime character of the cuisine.
