Scenic seafront promenade in Arrecife, lined with palms, small boats and local life. It is ideal for an easy walk near the water.
Wrinkled potatoes boiled in very salty water, usually served with mojo. A Canary Islands staple linked to local potato varieties and island cooking.
Green sauce of coriander, garlic, oil and vinegar, traditionally paired with potatoes, fish or meat. It is a defining flavour of Canarian cuisine.
Red sauce made with peppers, garlic, oil and vinegar, sometimes mildly spicy. It is one of the most recognisable traditional sauces in Lanzarote.
Well-known seaside restaurant in El Golfo, noted for very fresh fish and rice dishes in a smart but relaxed setting by the coast.
Casual and reputable spot in Arrecife for fresh fish, tapas and Canarian flavours, with a lively local feel near the seafront.
