Can highly recommend the following restaurant Cafe Del Carmen in Puerto Del Carmen. great for chilling out on thier sun terrace during the day and top class food cooked by a chef who knows how to present and cook food.
Don't be fooled by the location of the bar which is located above a Spar supermarket everything about the bar is first class. it has indoor or out door dining and also has a shaded area if the sun becomes to much for you during the day.
As for location it is right at the end of Puerto Del Carmen going towards the airport. We did use a taxi from the old town and it cost about 4 Euros.
We found that the drinks matched what most bars charged at 2 Euro for a pint but we received a complementary sample nibbles with each purchase of a drink.
Don't leave your visit to this bar to the last days of your holiday or you will regret it.
We did visit for an evening meal we had a 3 course meal with wine followed by 1 litre of sangria which watching the evening entertainment, the cost for two people was about 60 Euro which included a tip.
If you like to eat early they do a set (with a few choices from the main menu) 3 course menu for 15 Euros if you dine before 7pm, which is excellent value giving the quality of the food.
Drop me a line if you would like any further information an I will try to give you an answer

Agree with you there Craig An excellent restaurant and and interesting menu. My daughter liked the cocktails too!!! I was worried that they wouldn't be too pleased that we took my grandson and his pushchair up, and that we then sat in the cosy sofas, but there were no problems, and luckily grandson slept through both the meal and the music

They say a new indian res has opend at calero good reports so must give it a try

The new Indian in Calero is on our to do list, certainly has a nice vista while you sit and eat.

To be honest most of the restuarants and cafes in Calero are well worth a visit,
although disappointingly the chinese tried it on with the bill once which was bad
enough but the responce after questioning the bill (how dare we!) meant they
no longer have our custom. We used to visit twice a month so it was their loss.

cheers

can anyone recommend a good chinese and steak restaurant in costa teuise.
regards tracey

I know it's been a while since your post, Craig, but where about is Cafe Carmen? You say above a Spar, but do you know what street it is on? Thanks x

My goodness Good Queen Bess. It must be March again. When are you going hun.
The restaurant is across from the Hawaiian bar......top end towards San Antonio . There are some cracking eating places that end.
We go 10/3 to 17/3....not long now.

Hi desdemona!

We're going 12th to 22nd March! Very excited now. Thanks for the information.

Wonderful, you arrive on Carnival day in PDC. Starts at 5pm outside where we are staying Barcarola.What time do you land.? You could come in costume.
Des

I know! I am so pleased we're arriving on carnival day! We land at 1750, so should just be getting settled when it really gets going!

Some bad heads expected Sunday.

Off with their heads.

From what I've heard, Cafe del Carmen has changed hands, so now I can't comment on the menu

I know this is but GQB, if you are staying in your usual place, get down to the Fariones end as soon as you can to see the best of the carnival
And back on topic, I walked past the chinese restaurant New World today, up the Fariones end of PDC, and saw they are now serving a sushi menu!!! Has anyone tried it yet?

Sue, I like sushi, but I would be very reluctant to try it in a lot of Chinese places on PDC. We're not staying at out usual place, but I plan on walking down to the carnival.

Yes, that is what I'm wondering. I go to the Nippon, but as New World is roughly where the carnival parade will stop, I was hoping someone had already tried it there!! Save my feet again, and I'm sure they would be quite willing for me to eat in there in costume

What costume would that be Sue ?

French maid.....can can dancer...........belly dancer ?

errrr.....its actually none of them

Can anyone tell me if Romantica restaurant in Playa Blanca is still in the same place ( first floor overlooking shopping street) or has it moved? Is it still as good as it was?? Thanks

I'm a new member and totally in love with Lanzarote! I thought I'd share my favourite restaurants with everyone.
For fish its either El Golfo, Restaurante Costa Azul or Terrano.... Fantastic food matched by amazing views...the best sunsets on the island! ... or Playa Quemada and the restaurante SalMarina, our favourite... the sloppy bogavante paella is scrumptious!
In Puerto Calero we go for Mexican at Las Margaritas, situated up on the first floor overlooking the Marina. The Indian, Fazzs is enjoyable too.
In PDC more spice at TJs caribbean Tapas Bar, great authentic food , not to be missed!
For tapas its the Ermita in Tias everytime and theres a pizza place just down the road from it, I cant remember what its called, but its on the corner, fantastic! Theres a small tapas bar next door to Cafe Del Mar at the Marina Rubicon in PB thats worth a visit too.
La Cabana in Macher is special as is the restaurant in Bodegas Stratus, attached to the winery in La Geria. Wonderful!
Uga Bodega, the restaurant with the puffin outside is another place we enjoy, no menus here but a lovely atmosphere and food of the finest quality, simply but beautifully cooked.
Last but not least, the restaurant Arena which is situated in Los Mojones in PDC, another very special place... after feasting you can go lay by the pool and let dinner go down!
