Lanzarote's restaurants range
from the most sophisticated international cuisine to moderately priced
tourist menus of remarkable quality.
Canarian cooking is simple but tasty and healthy. A typical meal might start with white cheese and toasted maize gofio, followed by a local variety of fresh fish, like Canary Island gilthead (grilled or parboiled),  grouper or red sea bream. This is often accompanied by "wrinkled" potatoes with either green or hot mojo sauce, as well as a salad of locally-grown tomatoes. Those who prefer meat are advised to try the kid and the wild rabbit. Canary Island bananas are just the thing for dessert, and nothing goes better with a coffee than a frangollo, a sweet made of milk and maize. The wine should only be from Lanzarote, an appellation controlee that was granted quite recently. El Grifo, Mozaga and La Era are the labels most renowned for their quality, particularly when it comes to white malmseys, which are suitable for aperitifs, and for accompanying fish. We are upgrading all the time so please keep visiting. |
