Where to Eat in Arrecife: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Arrecife (/ˌærəˈsiːfeɪ/; Spanish pronunciation: [areˈsife]) is a city and municipality in the Canary Islands (Spain) situated in the centre-east of the island of Lanzarote, of which it has been the capital since 1852. The city owes its name to the rock reef ('Arrecife' is Spanish for 'reef') which covers the beach located in the city. The city also gives its name to the nearby Arrecife Airport.

Good selection of toppings on a thin crust pizza, had just one to share on our last night must be about 12" very busy later on in the night with lots of locals which I take as a good indication so not super quick on service, but when relaxed and warm evening what's the rush. Pizza €7 to €10

Close to the beach and worth the walk around the corner. Order the house special hamburger and enjoy! Not much more that I would want to say about it really. Oh, right, I ordered take-away. They put the sauce beneath the fries, instead of on top, which struck me as odd.

“Eating out is like an exciting adventure. Our menu is made only for those who sympathize with this philosophy. Our menu may differ somewhat from other restaurants. Most dishes are specialties of our house and some of them based on the classic recipes. Surely some will miss his favorite dish. Feel free to ask our Maître or Chef. We are eager to offer good food and visiting Lilium is an event to remind us with pleasure."

Lilium's is a small restaurant overlooking the Arrecife Marina. On a chilly January evening the surrounding area was empty. Am not sure how the restaurants on the marina survive in the winter.
When we arrived there was only one other table occupied, but this soon changed. The menu can be divided into a tasting menu or A'la Carte. As a party we all opted for the A'la Carte.
The food is beautifully presented. Portions are not excessive, some may think they are too small but it was perfect for me. I really like to try all three courses, but sometimes portions are so large this is not possible.
For my meal I chose Scallops to start, then Confit Duck and a delicious chocolate mousse. You will need to order side dishes for the main course as the vegetables served with the main are purely garnish.
I enjoyed each course. I would certainly recommend, but would try other places before I went back.

Being often on the island sometimes you want to eat something else than what is generally on offer in most restaurants ... Heard some good reviews about Emmax in the past, we made it last week for a quick lunch and we were not disappointed. We like the fact that the menu is written on a board which probably means that it changes regularly (what is a problem with many restaurants as they stick for years to the same menu). We had 2 different pasta's as main and they were both nice, but the starter that we shared blew us away ... grilled tunaballs with seaweed ... my god ... one of the best starters we ever had !!!!! So we will be back and see if the restaurant delivers a 'constant quality' of good food ... but we have high hopes !

Loved it! I passed this place by accident and it turned out to be amazing. Behind every corner in Lanzarote is a new surprise. La Puntilla is one of those gems that is preserved from the masses. Modest but full of character. A bit quaint, think: classical music playing and a grumpy old fashioned owner serving the guests. Don't worry, he will smile. Perfect place for foodies, a romantic dinner for two or trying some exquisite tapas with the family.

Beautiful food cooked to order from a fabulous menu. Very authentic feel and one of the most fabulously decorated restaurants I’ve visited outside of Mexico. Certainly the best vino tinto since we arrived in Lanzarote two months ago. Pleasant and efficient service.

A warm welcome and a nice restaurant at reasonable prices. We spent €30 on a spinach lasagne, Capone and cheesy garlic bread with 2 drinks. We thought this was very reasonable.
We are very easy going and don't expect that every meal is made to order, so when you thing about it, it's obvious the lasagne comes from the fridge or freezer. Unfortunately my wife's spinach lasagne was still frozen in the middle which spoilt our experience slightly. We did see the dough and pizzas being made to order and the price is good so we would recommend.
