The Best that Life to offer has Eating out on Lanzarote is a pleasure at all times of year, but in January it´s often the smaller tasty bites we look forward to after the feast of Christmas and the Día de los Reyes Magos. T he island has, over the years, positioned itself to offer pretty much anything that a resident or a passer-by could want, from a bag full of English goodies or a full English breakfast to a tapa or a media ración (half portion) of anything on the menu. And the competitiveness of the catering sector here means that restaurants and bars never rest on their laurels. On an island surrounded by fish,; whose markets display the surprising variety of fresh fruit and vegetables that are grown here, and which has made its living from its home-produced wine for decades, it’s hardly surprising that Lanzarote has plenty to offer, but there’s far more to it than that. Lanzarote has also welcomed other cultures and other cuisines, meaning that you can find food from China, Italy, India, Greece and plenty of other countries – and that includes good old British or Irish cooking, too. But the secret to Lanzarote dining isn’t just what you’ll find on your plate – it’s the whole experience – a sunny terrace, a friendly waiter, and the prospect of an unhurried hour or two of enjoying the very best that life has to offer.
