Puerto Del Carmen in the Lanzarote region is native to more than 200 different restaurants, which, unsurprisingly, makes locating the perfect one difficult.
Good news! There are twenty restaurants scattered along the beachfront and into the old town that we believe are the best the region has to offer and well worth checking out during your visit.
Some of these restaurants offer Chinese, Mexican, Indian, Italian, Fish, Steak, Tapas, and other Seafood on their menu.
