Eating Out — Our Favourite Places
These are places we’ve eaten at, enjoyed and would happily return to. Some are close to your casita; others are worth making part of a day out.
We’ve grouped our recommendations by area, with separate sections for teleclubs and wineries. Check opening hours before setting off, and if you’re unsure what to choose, ask Darek — we’re always happy to help you find the right spot.
Teleclubs — A Taste of Local Lanzarote
Teleclubs are village social centres where people meet, eat and spend time together. Many have a bar or restaurant serving traditional Canarian food in an informal setting.
They’re part of everyday life on the island — and a lovely way to discover Lanzarote through its villages and local cooking.
