Three of the best cheap restaurants on Lanzarote
With the fragile economy still pumping through Britain’s veins, ‘tightening our belts’ financially has become, for many, a necessary feature of modern life. This includes when we are on holiday, which if we’re not careful can end up costing a small fortune.
This is when endeavouring to visit the less inexpensive local haunts can prove fruitful. If you are fortunate to be planning a trip to Lanzarote which comprises of a tight budget, you’ll be pleased to know that there are a myriad of quality restaurants that cater for the budget-conscious traveller.
Take a look at our top three cheap restaurants on Lanzarote
Bogavante
Bogavante is situated on the southern tip of the island next to the volcanic sandy beach of El Golfo. The restaurant is virtually on the water’s edge and you can listen to the waves lapping against the shore as you eat fresh and wonderful paella with crisp salad and chilled white wine. The bank won’t get busted either at around 20 euros per head.
Meson La Frontera
Meson La Frontera is one of those restaurants where the locals regularly dine in to celebrate birthday parties and so on. In fact you can always tell when the food is fresh, of a high quality and is reasonably priced in Spain because the restaurant is full of locals.
Meson La Frontera is situated on the edge of the pretty village of Haria on the northern side of the island. The locally sourced grilled lamb chops and beef steaks are said to be particular highlights of the menu. Do not expect to pay more than 20 euros per head at La Frontera, including wine. This family-friendly restaurant has a play area for the kids and tremendous views down the valley from the dining area.
El Amanecer
Restaurant El Amanecer is located the north east coast in the village of Arrieta not far from La Garita Beach. Once again you have a reasonably priced eatery which is frequented by locals in their droves. Bookings are not taken at this popular Lanzarote restaurant but it is advisable to get there before 1.00 pm to avoid disappointment, particularly if you want a waterside table.
Its legendary fresh fish has made El Amanecer well-known throughout the island, followed by its generous portions and reasonable prices, which are unlikely to come to more than 20 euros a head including wine.
