"The best place we’ve eaten at on the island so far. The food was incredible, they have many traditional canarian dishes (eg ropa vieja and gofio and goat cheese). Russian salad with octopus was really interesting, I think it had sweet potatoes, it was so good. Life changing fish croquettes. And the chickpea and seafood stew was excellent too. Gofio mousse was amazing. Nice staff. They have so many appealing items on the menu, it was really difficult what to order, we just wanted to try everything… You can pay with a card. Good value for money."

"A gem of a traditional restaurant in the old town. By far our favourite restaurant when in Puerto Del Carmen we ate there 4 nights out of 9 as they were closed for a couple of our nights there. Amado, Kasia and the Team provide amazing service and excellent food. The food is fab and some of our favourites are any of the steak dishes, garlic chicken, grilled chicken and garlic prawns/ croquettes. Fish is as fresh as you can get it and dishes are based on local Canarian quisine so you can't go wrong no matter what you choose. They also do a great range of Tapas dished and an amazing range of drinks and all extremely reasonablly priced. Can't wait to return in Nov 2026 Jan & Jim x"

"The Paella was great! We don’t get to eat it very often in southern Germany, so I appreciate it when we get it. The Mojo sauce on the potatoes and cheese was perfect and I could have just eaten that all night."

"A good local restaurant in Puerto del Carmen. Tired of the super crowded tourist spots, I found this place to be a hidden gem - full of unique vibe and dedicated to Lanzarote cuisine, with a touch of family recipes. Good service, great fish dishes, and a refreshing cold sangria made it another magical moment of our vacation on the island. Thanks a lot!"

"If you are looking for excellent local (not pizza, burgers and English breakfast) food for reasonable prices, I recommend this restaurant. We ordered typical canarian dishes and everything was super tasty. Also the staff is very kind and attentive. Visited 2x and will come back once on Lanzarote in the future."
