Lanzarote’s flavours of fire

Lanzarote’s culinary scene is a delicious reflection of its volcanic soil and Atlantic surroundings.

Papas arrugadas with mojo: These “wrinkled potatoes” are a Canarian staple — boiled in saltwater and served with vibrant green and red mojo sauces made from garlic, herbs, and peppers.

Fresh Atlantic fish: Dishes made with species like vieja (parrotfish) or cherne (wreckfish), often grilled or cooked in traditional stews, are must-tries.

Artisan goat cheeses: Creamy or matured, Lanzarote’s cheeses have earned international recognition for their rich, earthy flavour.

Volcanic Malvasía wines: Grown in the black ash of La Geria, these aromatic white wines are uniquely smooth and mineral — a taste of the island in every glass.

Local food markets: Wander through the markets of Teguise or Arrecife for tropical fruits, handmade jams, gofio (toasted cornmeal), and other Canarian delights.

Whether dining in a sea-view restaurant or at a rustic village tavern, eating in Lanzarote is always an experience — warm, unpretentious, and packed with soul.
