Old harbour, fresh fish, authentic tapas
If you want to eat in the centre of Morro Jable, you’ll need to go by Spanish meal times. Lunch is served between 2 pm and 4 pm, whilst in the evening the kitchens don’t open until 9 pm at the earliest. The ‚menú del día‘ costs between 10 and 14 euros for a three-course meal. In smaller taverns such as Las Tapas de Miguel on Calle Piragua, paying by cash is considered the safest option. The menus at these local eateries are mainly in Spanish, but in return you’ll be served fresh fish of the day and ‚queso majorero‘ at reasonable prices.
