← All restaurants in Fuerteventura
As of: July 2026 (updated regularly)
Morro Jable’s restaurants are split between the old fishing harbour and Jandía Playa. In the harbour, the Cofradía de Pescadores lands the morning’s catch, which tavernas such as Restaurante La Puntilla Casa Menso on Peatonal Balandro serve up that very same lunchtime. Opposite, along Avenida del Saladar, Fuerte Pizza serves holidaymakers at the Centro Comercial Cosmo. This division is what makes the selection of the 12 best restaurants in Morro Jable so distinctive. In the old town centre above the harbour, Canary Islands dishes remain more affordable than elsewhere on the Jandía peninsula.
Old harbour, fresh fish, wide selection
The ‚Menú del día‘ costs between 10 and 14 euros at lunchtime, comprising three courses including a drink. It is served between 2 pm and 4 pm; dinner in the harbour taverns doesn’t start until 9 pm at the earliest. At 6 pm, the restaurants on Playa del Matorral – particularly those catering to tourists – open. In small establishments such as the Asadero de pollos on Calle Mascona, cash is still essential. At Christmas, Easter and in August, tables at places like El Pellizco on Calle Nuestra Señora del Carmen fill up early, so it’s best to book in advance.
