Why would you not have excellent food and good wine in nice surroundings? We had the stew and the fried octopus and both were excellent and relatively cheap as well. The terrace had a gorgeous view over the vineyard and the service was impeccable. The desserts were good as were the starters. Many seemed to just taste the wines and have tapas to go with them. Being a winery, they had several wines to choose from. We liked the dry white and the sweet dessert wine.

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!

It boasts the most modern facility we toured on the island. Louise was a knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. This was a wonderful spot to see solera winemaking methods in real time, which they use to make their sweet wine. The outdoor terrace was a lovely spot to taste the delicious wines. Their restaurant was closed on the day of our visit; we would love to return to try it as we are certain the quality would be exquisite given our experience on the wine tour. Their wine shop also offered an extensive selection of local cheeses and artisan products - perfect if you want a higher-end gift or souvenir from Lanzarote.

This place was different. It's set in the old capital, teguise. (Parking is down the hill a bit to the left). We were served by a super adorable waitress who was efficient, friendly and patient at the same time. Cute ambience of low light lit place. Everything was amazing value, large portion and delicious. Out of the white wines, try bermejo from the island. Complex with minerality. Not as much acidity as sancerrre or Sauvignon Blanc. The best tapa was bruschetta with iberico ham and tomatoes - the best bruschetta I had in my life. Soft but slightly toasted bread with big chunks of tomato and iberico ham. Divine! SOLID: sweet potato cakes with coriander, golfo and smoked cheese. Soft and sweet. Crunchy ok the outside. Definitely worth trying it. Padron pepper was also great, not too soggy full of flavor. SKIP: marinated octopus salad - a bit on the fishy side. Wasn't a huge fan.
