The best seafood restaurants Canary Islands

Next to the lighthouse of Punta de Jandía, this restaurant with its original decoration gives sensations of the end of the world, with nothing around. It has been in the hands of Nelson Espinel since 2010, this chef took over the family business after his father Nino, who was the captain of this "boat" for 20 years. The recipes are simple and family-style, a bit like at home and celebrate Canarian cuisine: fish caught of the day and then grilled a la plancha, well-cooked dads with their Canarian sauces, prawns... Even without a competitor, he's still good.

This restaurant, which doesn't look like much, is always packed when the weekend arrives - a sure sign. Let yourself be guided by the good advice of the owner. She'll lay out the fish of the day, some calamari in sauce, a big salad and, of course, the indispensable papas arrugadas, accompanied by their very successful mojos. You can also try the house specialty, grilled octopus. It's a real treat. It's simple but very effective! And on weekends, there's even a live band.

With its open and protected terrace, it opens on the beautiful wild beach of lava rocks and the azure waves. The specialty? Fresh and grilled fish on a platter for two, prepared by Luis, the chef: sardines, grilled tuna, sea bream, grouper and steamed potatoes, enough to enjoy and fill up on trace elements. If you don't want dessert, you'll have to pay for it with frozen bites. It's hard to resist these sweet treats. A good value for money for a gourmet experience with your feet in the water.

Created in 1985, this restaurant is a bit of an institution that owes its name to the boat of the grandfather of the five brothers who now run this new boat. If he has received Felipe González and José Luis Zapatero, he has also built up a regular clientele of lanzarotenos, who come almost every day, and of tourists who return regularly. They appreciate its terrace facing the sea and also the excellent quality of what they have made their specialty, fresh fish, grouper, swordfish, tuna a la plancha, squid ... Don't forget to make a reservation.

The Costa Azul restaurant, with its beautiful designer terrace on the seafront, is the ideal setting to enjoy a seafood recipe. And in the evening, it will be fairy tale. On the menu, fresh fish grilled according to the catch of the day, lobster, white crab, fish paradilla, octopus accompanied by different varieties of rice, including in soups. And we can finish with a homemade flan de la casa, a typical Canarian and Mediterranean cuisine of quality, but expensive. Perhaps justified by the certificate of excellence obtained in 2013.

The plus point of the family restaurant is undeniably its pretty shaded terrace which offers beautiful views of the natural pools of Garachico. And since it is high up, it will be the only one to offer this pleasure. To settle in, it's best to arrive early, as it is of course easily overrun. The interior is more banal as a space. His speciality is fresh fish and his octopus has a good reputation. With beautiful proportions for the plates. The fact remains that this is a fairly simple kitchen that does not justify spending your savings on it.

Friendly and friendly restaurant, with a terrace directly on the edge of the water. Specialties of fresh fish, seafood and fajitas.
