Flavours is a highly rated Indian restaurant in Playa Blanca, run by the same people behind Spice Fusion, so you're in safe hands for a good curry. It serves the usual well-loved dishes, tandoori, biryanis, curries done to your preferred heat, with plenty of choice and generous portions, and reviewers rate both the food and the friendly service. Booking is a good idea as it's popular. If Spice Fusion is full, or you're at the other end of the resort, this is an equally good choice from the same kitchen. Read more

Goofy Burger is a cheap and cheerful spot on the Puerto del Carmen strip, easy to spot thanks to the big cartoon figure out front. It does burgers, roast and rotisserie chicken, kebabs, breakfasts and crepes at good prices, with lunchtime deals and cheap drinks that families make the most of. The breakfast gets a good word from regulars, and often comes with a juice thrown in. If you want a quick, affordable bite with the kids without much fuss, it does the trick. Read more

La Cabaña, in the inland village of Mácher, is one of the best places to eat on the island. It's run by chef Darren Spurr and his wife Debbie, and it's small, only a handful of tables, with a short menu that changes weekly around whatever's freshest. The cooking is imaginative and a clear step up from the usual resort fare, the wine list is well chosen, and the service is warm. People book it for a special night and then come back year after year. With so few tables it fills up fast, so book well ahead. It's about ten minutes by taxi from Puerto del Carmen, and worth the trip. Read more

La Lanterna is about as authentic an Italian as you'll find in Puerto del Carmen, and one of the best-rated restaurants on the strip. It's up on the first floor on the Avenida de las Playas, a small place with sea views, and it fills up fast, so book ahead or you may well be turned away. Read more

Spice Fusion is one of the most popular Indian restaurants in Playa Blanca, and a reliable bet for a good curry. It's tucked away in a shopping precinct just back from the seafront, and while the setting is fairly simple, the food is the reason it's so well rated, including Deep-flavoured tandoori dishes, curries like butter chicken, madras and Punjabi favourites, and fresh naan and rice, in generous portions at fair prices.

The Good Old Days Bar & Kitchen is the only 1970s-themed bar in Lanzarote, on the Avenida de las Playas in Puerto del Carmen, with a rooftop terrace and sea views. The food is home-cooked comfort stuff, done well and in big portions, the fish and chips, steak and ale pie and Sunday roasts that keep people coming back, along with a good cocktail and gin list. There's live music every night from around nine, plus retro DJ nights playing the old classics on vinyl. It's a friendly, easy spot for a good meal and some entertainment, whether or not you remember the seventies first time round. Read more
