La Ballena

Reviewed By Tim B

I’d heard good reports about a restaurant called La Ballena so, armed with Google Directions, I walked less than ten minutes through El Cotillo to the edge of the village, where the small fort stands.La Ballena opened at six-thirty.It’s a very small, modern place, all quite “open plan”.The chef-patron and the pretty waitress greeted me and invited me to sit anywhere. It was a fine, sunny evening, so I opted for a small table outside, overlooking the fort and coastline.This little place is unpretentious in its decor, though the ambiance is agreeable and the warmth of the staff facilitates it all.The menu featured the usual seafood, beef, chicken and so on.The fish, however, comprised John Dory and Cherne.I ordered the Garlic Prawns as a starter: sizzling, juicy, abundant butter and slices of garlic; and a bread roll to soak it all up.It was very good; fair value for €6 or so.I more or less stopped drinking in September, 2018, so had a flute of something akin to Buck’s Fizz.Shortly thereafter the main course arrived: John Dory and more prawns, almost floating in a soupy kind of juice, with sliced potatoes, stewed tomato, red pepper.The fish was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed it all.The bread soaked up some of the “sauce”, though, alas, it simply wasn’t to my taste.I’m not terribly keen on thin sauces, impossible to consume without a soup spoon.Still, as I said, I enjoyed it, and the staff were quite charming.I began a conversation with an ex-pat couple at the adjacent table.They lived in the village and advised me to have a look at the “Fuerteventura Forum” on the Internet.

Restaurante El Moral

Reviewed By BigRoyston

Booked for lunch on a Saturday as often gets busy . Greeted warmly and offered a choice of table . Great recommendation on a Canarian white wine from our waiter . Beer comes in a frozen glass - thirst quencher. You can pick off menu or specials board . Stand out dish is fish tacos . Fillet steak wonderful and comes with pepper or mushroom sauce . They do an amazing aubergine dish - just try it ! Delightful array of different dishes to suit every taste . The complimentary bread and alioli is exceptional. The other big plus about this place is the VFM . We had 6 dishes between 4 of us which was plenty , 3 beers , water and a great bottle of wine ( 26 Euros ) and total bill was €102.

Restaurante Los Piratas

Reviewed By Tralsiboo

Visited twice over our 2 week holiday. The first visit was fantastic with tasty food and a waitress who went above and beyond her call. The second visit was disappointing with a waiter and waitress who just weren’t interested and the food was very oily and salty! The highlight of our second visit was watching the English people on the table next to us shouting at the waiter that they wanted pomme frites and only after the 6th attempt the 2nd woman said french fries the waiter said... oh, chips!

If you are not staying in Lajares I can at least recommend you to visit Chez Leon when passing by. We visited two times during our holiday and it is a charming place with good food and friendly staff. We will definitely come back next year.

722 Gradi

Reviewed By JackieHH_11

We visited here for Sunday lunch in November and were the only people there at first but a couple of other tables did eventually fill up. Lovely location and dining room although lacked a bit in atmosphere, probably due to the lack of people when we visited. Although the portion sizes are small (as others have commented) it was very tasty and we both have small appetites so it was ideal for us for lunch. My partner had the pasta meal with goat - never had goat before but it was lovely. We will definitely return when we visit Lajares in 2018.

Colourful place, full of life and lots of choice of food - sometimes I have had the pizza, sometimes a special off the board and nothing has disappointed. I have been there alone or with people and am always treated as special. Highly recommended.

We went here a couple of times for coffee, which was good. The outdoor seats made out of pallets were very upright and uncomfortable. You are sat a bit close to the heavy traffic passing through the village. The burgers and ambiance are better at Mana across the road.
