“ Burgers (beef and chicken) were amazing. Beef was full of flavour, chicken was crisp and moist with a beautiful mango curry salsa. ”
“ Stopped here for a little lunch whilst visiting the Sunday market. Great varied choice and some daily specials. Friendly staff too ”
“ Tonight was our first visit and it was wonderful. The atmosphere is very inviting. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. We were only here for a long weekend and found this place on the last night. We all agree that we would fly back here just to have another meal. The homemade sangria is amazing. The artwork is also eye-catching. I cannot find fault in anything. It really is a restaurant worth visiting. ”
“ We had some tapas here for lunch! The traditional tapas were great but the vegetable gyoza were really outstanding!! Afterwards we had a Gofio dessert, which is a specialty on the canary islands! ”
“ By far the best tapas we've had all week (and we've had a few!!) The restaurant looks quite forma but service was friendly, and most importantly the food was amazing and reasonably priced - muchas gracias ”
“ We cane to this restaurant looking for vegetarian options as its so difficult to find that. We were pleased with the food as well as the service. Potato bravas were nice and lasagna had good vegan soy filling. Found the noodles little too sweet. Staff was very warm and attentive. Definitely recommend ”
“ Service was great from when we arrived and the food was incredible. We had the premium burger and the sea bass which were both great quality. Definitely recommend ”
“ I was there on two occasions in the one week. On the first occasion, I had the Canarian Bravas (V) and the Fried Gyozas (VG) tapas. Both were delicious and were large portions. And on the second occasion I had the same plus the Garlic Mushrooms (VG) and the Cheesecake for dessert. Again all were delicious. There were three vegan and two vegetarian tapas on the menu which is great to see in Lanzarote. There were also two vegan dishes for mains. I sat outside the first time and inside the second which was beautiful. Excellent service. Moderate pricing. The best competitor to it on the whole island was the Majo Picon restaurant in Tinajo 15 mins. away. ”
