Restaurant Canary Islands - The 10 best restaurants Canary Islands in 2025

Practical information : Eating out Canary Islands

Timetable

As in the Iberian metropolis, restaurant opening hours are different from those in France. It is from 2 to 4 pm for lunch, the most important, comida fuerte, and from 9 pm for dinner. Restaurants are often closed on Sundays and Mondays. Better to book at noon if you wish to get a place on the terrace to have a nice view. In the evening, Fridays and Saturdays are the busiest nights for refuelling.

Budget & Tips

The menu del día, a menu of the day offered at lunchtime on weekdays (around €10), is also available in the Canaries, but mainly in towns. You'll find it less, if at all, in tourist areas. Although not the Mecca of the tapa, a small snack accompanied by a drink, the Canaries are gradually adopting it. However, they do offer a wide range of dishes to share (from €12 to €15), and as the plates are so copious, you can have a meal for around €15. In the evening, at a good table, the bill will be around €35.

What costs extra

Prices are all-inclusive. But bread and water are not included. No carafe, just bottled water,con gas or sin gas, still or sparkling. And bread is billed at €1 to €1.50, generally presented with cutlery in a basket. If you don't want bread, just say no when asked, or indicate so when ordering. But as far as water is concerned, a new law has come into force. From January¹, 2023, all establishments (bars, hotels or restaurants) must offer free water from the tap. This measure is designed to limit the proliferation of plastic packaging.

Smokers

After a transition period of a few years, with smoking and non-smoking areas, Spain has been implementing a smoke-free law since 2011. All the establishments are therefore non-smoking, except on the terrace.

Tourist traps

You won't find a reaper in the Canary Islands, as many tourists visit the islands in organized groups, with meals already included in the "tour". On the other hand, it is better to avoid establishments that are too close to a very touristy place such as the paseo de playa blanca in Lanzarote, as an example. It is more the realm of the frozen food, which is also becoming more and more important. To be more relaxed, ask for the fish of the day, classically fresh.
