We were surprised to see a restaurant and bar in Punta Limones rated no 14 in all of Lanzarote. We have been visiting this part of the island off and on for 30+ years and Have to say that Punta Limones has always been a bit shabby tired and uncared for, so not well known for its cuisine and fine dining, but after the good reviews on TA we just had to give it a try ! What a disaster. We knew where this restaurant was located as there was another there previously. At first glance It presented nothing very special in the square. We sat down at an outside Table, where we had to change my flimsy Plastic chair for a more solid one from inside as I am not a lightweight ! At first glance the menu is slightly expensive, but thatâs ok for what we hoped would be a treat ahead. Treats wasnât full, so Service was quick. Drinks ordered we opted to share a pizza and Treat salad. â sorry pizza is off the menu .... no doughPrepared â Ok we thought a bit puzzled but try again. We both went for Penn pasta with sardines Pine nuts and a Treat salad. What arrived was two plates of gloop ! The pasta was disintegrated overcooked and even chewy in parts, which does indicate some microwave Involvement with leftover food! If I closed my eyes to avoid the ghastly presentation, it tasted ok ! â¬10 each for the pasta plus one salad one glass of wine and a Sloe gin fizz...â¬40Any decent food critic would have sent it back and said no to a replacement but we We were hungry, and the salad was ok !!( on reflection it probably would have been helpful if we had sent it back ?) On paying we were asked how it was and we softened our comments to âPasta over cooked & very disappointedâThere was no reply from the waitress and She obviously ? Did not pass our comments to a french sounding lady who we thought could be in charge, as we left without anyone coming back to the table to enquire why we were disappointed. After this experience We feel that the high rating score no where near reflects this restaurants real rating, which should, based on our one visit be near the bottom. Needless to say, we shall not be experiencing the Treat evening offer.To stay in a âposherâ Punta Limones after redevelopment Treats offering to the cruise customers will have to drastically improve.( in our experience why would cruise customers eat & drink off the ship anyway where fine dining is the norm !!??) I donât normally await proprietors comments, but looking at their responses to the previous poor ratings, it will be interesting to see their explanation. Thank you for leaving a review. I'm glad we had more sturdy chairs so that you were able to swap.As a small restaurant, with an extensive daytime and nightime menu, we do find that we occasionally run out of ingredients while we prepare new ones. We are sorry that we were preparing more pizza dough when you wanted to order pizza.You are right, the waitress should have passed your comments about the pasta on to the kitchen. However, we do do a table check after serving. If you had said your food was not acceptable at that point we would have been more than happy to change it.Our pricing is pretty standard for similar restaurants, especially as all of our food is homemade and freshly prepared. Two pasta dishes at 10 euros, a house salad at 8.50, a glass of wine at 3.00 and a slow gin cocktail at 6.50 adds up to under 40 euros so there is a little exaggeration on the price from you and the portions are substantial.Every restaurant makes mistakes. We try to make as few as possible, but when we do, we like to rectify them if we are given the chance. I wish you had.As can be seen from our other reviews, we have many, many very satisfied customers. It is a shame that we were not able to please you.If you would like to come and talk to us, we would love to offer you a discount on our evening dining menu so that you can see why people are raving about our food, service and entertainment.

I absolutely love this place, I have been before but this time I went with my friend who hadn't been before, she was also very impressed. Again the food did not disappoint. It as always was amazing, freshly prepared and delivered by Miet and Davy, who clearly love what they do and are very good at it. The only issue we had was deciding what to eat, there was so much to choose from, if we had enough time we would have gone back again.

For food this remains our No.1 in Lanzarote. A small restaurant run by a husband and wife team. All the meat is imported and a stalwart which is always on the menu is " New Zealand rack of lamb with all the trimmings" Please do not miss this one. It's a comprehensive menu supported by a good wine list.They are situated midway between Playa Blanca and the airport on the main LZ2 next to a large garage. Please do not be put off by the location. Okay so you are not sitting on the waterfront but you cannot eat the view!!! so if its wonderful food you are looking for it is worth the journey-enjoy

My wife and I have been visiting Playa Blanca every year for over 25 years. And we have travelled and dined all over the world. This is one of the most imaginative and delightfully surprising meals that we have ever had. Not just in Lanzarote, not just in Europe, but anywhere.Do not miss the chance to dine here. It may not look special but appearances can be deceptive. It is exceptional.

Myself and my husband popped in here to watch the football one day, the views are lovely from the bar, the service was great and the toilets were the cleanest I had ever seen in Lanzarote, without a doubt. It was a shame it was our last day before we found this bar, so we didn't have a chance to return. If I was visiting Lanzarote again I certainly would.

I was in Lanzarote for a weeks vacation, this was the best meal i had. The setting, food and drinks are all just perfect and a cleansing breathe of fresh air to all the mediocre Brit pubs and restaurants outside. Staff were welcoming, friendly and informative who knew the menu very well. If i could have dined there every night i would have. Highly recommend to everyone visiting the area. Its a special place, i will be back.We are delighted to get such a positive rating. We are glad to have passed your expectations and of course we hope to see you again on your next visit to the island. Greetings.
