Located right on the water's edge with the waves crashing below you this wonderful Spanish restaurant is located in El Golfo a beautiful quaint fishing village a few files from Playa Blanca
This place has it all. The setting is just spectacular to start with but the food is equally as impressive from the first moment the homemade complimentary Russian salad was beautiful.

La Bodega de Santiago
Another amazing restaurant just a few minutes drive from Playa Blanca in the beautiful village of Yaiza, this is one of the best known restaurants on the entire island of Lanzarote and we can confirm it deserves its fame. From the start there is a very traditional Spanish atmosphere, the exterior terrace is nestled under the protection of a stunning old Fico tree.
The ingredients are very typical from Lanzarote, but the combination between tradition and innovation is impressive, you can really feel the high quality of the products and the talent in the kitchen.
Its often mentioned without being justified but the standard of service was excellent.
Not cheap but very fair balance quality/ price. This restaurant is sublime and perfect for pushing the boat out for a wonderful dining experience.
