Excellent lunch here…read more Very close to our hotel, we passed El Olivo regularly every evening, so we decided to have lunch here one day. My husband ordered the lasagne and I the avocado, prawn and smoked salmon dish. We shared a mix salad. The mixed salad was massive and very fresh. Everything was tasty on it, for a run of the mill mixed salad. My hubby liked his lasagne. I liked my avacado, prawns and salmon. The only issue with my dish was they put far far too much of the sauce all over the food. I didn't need that much and scraped a lot off. I were to visit El Olivo again I would ask for the sauce on the side. I also enjoyed their house red, which was a nice Rioja - what else would it be ;) Decent food and lots of it. PS the water misting system they install will keep you nice and cool while you dine.

EL Olivo, Corralejo, Fuerteventura…read more This restaurant was recommended by a friend so we decided to give it a try. Initially we thought we would take the shared tapas deal but we found that our favourites on the starter menu weren't included. Instead I chose sizzling garlic prawns and my wife chose mussels as starters, both of which were excellent. We enquired about fresh fish and the waiter promptly brought a platter containing all the species of fresh fish available. We both chose dorado and we got a whole fish each grilled with lots of garlic and served with salad and perfect Canarian potatoes. We both agreed that the fish was delicious and perfectly cooked. All went down well with a very reasonably priced bottle of wine. Including the tip the whole experience cost €70. Good recommendation!

If you're in Puerto del Carmen, it's worth it to check this place out. Great service,…read moreEnglish-speaking staff, great selection of beef and veal as well as seafood options. The ambiance is upscale and the restaurant and restrooms were impeccably clean. There is a full bar along with an extensive wine and beer list. I don't eat veal so I didn't try my husband's dish, but the highlight for me was the salmon. Another note... it's located very close to the bus stop offering easy access if you're coming from a different part of the island.

Having eaten in this restaurant on quiet a number of times already we ventured in here this…read moreevening, but to say we were disappointed is simply an understatement! We felt rushed by the staff who were mostly unfriendly and brusque...we had main meals followed by dessert. mains were sole with prawns and lobster sauce..rubbery and tasteless...ribs in barbecue sauce...small portion and lacking in meatiness..grilled Seabass..quite acceptable, however the baked potatoes and vegetables were inedible. We opted for three different desserts, best of which was the chocolate mousse; brownies were completely tough and stale - which was attempted to be disguised by an overload of artificial chocolate sauce; the banoffi pie was equally tasteless with a miserable amount of toffee sauce. To add insult to injury...we were offered a free nightcap of schnapps ( on presentation of the full bill despite our complaints and disappointment with the overall meal) ...this consisted of the cheapest brand of "Spar" own brand Apple schnapps ....basically flavoured sugar and water! This is a restaurant which generally has a pretty good reputation and is always busy, but to my mind it is now too "touristy" and they have lost the attention to detail and production of fine dining and good quality food. Please note , as far as I can discern, other reviewers are referring to the adjoining "Bodega" which is part of this establishment but appears to have a more tapas type menu!

Cute little bar restaurant located in La Vegueta on Lanzarote Island of the Spanish Canaries. It…read morewas so good, my family came here twice. Street parking limited, but this is such a small town with few visitors that it wasn't a problem at all. I highly recommend Teleclub La Vegueta for people looking to avoid touristy areas and want to experience an authentic and affordable Canarian eatery. This place doesn't have a permanently set menu--the chef writes down dishes to choose from on a receipt based off available seasonal ingredients. The dishes available vary from day to day. On our first day, we ordered queso frito (fried cheese cubes), gamba a ajillo (shrimp and garlic), albondigas (meatballs in tomato sauce), carne frita (stir fried meat chunks with parsley, oregano, garlic and salt), and calemar romana (breaded and fried calamari). The garlic shrimp and meatballs were the stars of the meal. The calamari was just ok- it had a soft texture to the breading that I didn't much care for. On the second day we ordered gamba al ajillo again. We also got queso asado (grilled/toasted cheese topped with mojo rojo and mojo verde), carne cabra (goat with a gravy sauce), pulpo a la plancha (grilled octopus), and estofado carrillera (stewed meat, maybe beef cheeks). The carrillera and cabra were super good, and were much larger portions than we were expecting. However, that didn't stop us from finishing all our food! Both visits we ordered five plates to share between five people, which was more than enough for us to fill up. We also ordered dessert-polvito (polvito uraguayo is a typical Canarian dessert, has butter, cream, biscuit, dulce de leche and topped with whipped cream instead of merengue at this restaurant). I also want to throw in a shout out for the vino blanco afrutado, a sweet and citrus forward white wine from Tenerife. I enjoyed it so much I had two glasses on each visit. The service was great! Our waiter and waitress were super hardworking and they did everything including seating us, taking orders, bringing out food, bussing and collecting payment. They were kind and accommodating when we asked questions or had additional requests. Teleclub La Vegueta is a repeater for sure, and if I lived here I would come back. Highly recommend for people that want authentic Canarian food in a chill neighborhood setting.

The building itself is most unusual for this area, with its Juliette style balcony and windows filled with drooping plants and hanging baskets. There's also an array of potted plants at the main entrance on the street. Inside is equally gorgeous, bright, and airy with a winding staircase leading up to the top floor dining area. Once again, an array of planted greenery hangs down over the balcony. The food is fabulous with a huge selection of both Polish and Irish themed dishes and a good range of vegetarian dishes too. We had main courses of Polish Golobki which is minced meat wrapped in a cabbage leaf and baked a delicious tomato sauce, and Poledwica Sobieski ....prune stuffed pork steak served with a yummy white wine and cranberry sauce on a bed of mashed potatoes. All desserts are homemade and we had white chocolate and toffee cheesecake which was a little disappointing as it lacked any toffee flavour and was served with a very sparse chocolate sauce...would have been so delicious smothered with a toffee sauce I would have thought! The owner herself, Bozena, is very charming and welcoming as are all the staff. However I'm reluctantly not giving it top marks as I felt the main course portions were a wee bit on the small side and, unlike the last time I dined here, there was no complimentary drink offered at the end of the meal!

Everything is fresh and freshly prepared, the fish is never frozen and the gambas (prawns) de la Santa were amazing.

Highly recommended, this is not the usual tourist trap that serves bland, uninteresting food but has a diverse menu very well presented and owners and waiters passionate about their job. Make sure to order local wine, ask for recommendations, I would recommend the Stratus for a real treat.

It's up in the 'old town' part of Puerto Del Carmen which means it's not so 'strip'-like, and has a more down to earth feel. The food was fantastic. Going with the theme and decor of the restaurant; it's more homely and hearty than high-end, but it's of really excellent quality. The presentation is spot on, and there's a great selection. I would personally recommend the 'Prawns Island Bistro' Chef Special. It's prawns stacked in a liquour / creamy type sauce with rice, and lovely veggies on the side. The main draw card of this spot though? The price. It's crazy good value!!! We're talking 13.75 for three courses!!! And three really, really good courses as well. I'm told you need to book here in the high season, which says it all. Great spot. Love it.
