Tourism is a major industry in Lanzarote, and food forms a big part of it. Holidays in Lanzarote offer a wide choice of restaurants, bars, pubs, cafes and lounges. From lavish hotel restaurants to humble local eateries and takeaway food joints, there is something for everyone, and to suit all budget types.

The most common cuisines you will come across are traditional Canarian and Spanish; grilled, fried and baked fish and non-spicy seafood preparations, meat and vegetable dishes served with hot, spicy sauces, mouthwatering desserts and ice creams, and locally made Tropical (Spanish beer).

There are also hundreds of very good international restaurants offering a la carte and buffet menus serving a range of favorites from Greek, Italian, English, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese and Indian kitchens. Most of these restaurants are concentrated in the Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca, Puerto Calero, and Puerto del Carmen areas.

Nightlife in Lanzarote is fun and vibrant, and from local tapas-bars to expensive pubs, tourists are spoiled for choice.
