La Bodega de Santiago

God bless the perceptive and flexible staff who changed our table to save us from an unruly family gathering with no manners whatsoever. We started with 4 starters brought to the table separately: a very wise choice because each was special and delicious. 3 Canarian cheeses, Uga salmon, bonitas and Canarian sauces, and aspargus with salmon roe. Then the main dishes, solomillo boletus and Lomo Vieja crujiente, accompanied by (2) remarkable bottles of white wine Akaet Volcan de la Corona. The service was impeccable and friendly. The venue is lovely. If only parents could educate themselves and their offspring to respect and give space to other customers and the staff too.... Please, book before showing up. Set in a 19th century mansion with a magnificent ficus tree, this venue is just beautiful.

What a gem! No wonder it’s hard to reserve a table. We went twice during our trip and definitely will be back next time we are on the island. Such a delicious food, charming atmosphere and kind staff. My absolute favourites from the menu- deep fried octopus, stone bass, ugo salmon and local cheesecake (it’s a must! Thank me later)

What a lunch.. food was totally delicious, the staff were friendly and the outside terrace was divine. We started with a shared selection of tomatoes with sardines, iberico ham, salmon and pate - all delicious and then lamb, goat, beef and tuna. Followed by 4 scrummy deserts. Such an amazing way to spend the afternoon

There’s “bad service”, there’s “terrible service” and then there’s “Bodega de Santiago service”. I don’t need a smile or over the top enthusiasm, let’s be honest, not everyone loves their job, but for a place that markets itself as an “above average” dining experience, you would think that they would make an effort. The only good thing about it is the food. Ultimately, don’t expect any friendliness. In the beginning though everything was fine other than the general indifference, we received our drink, and ordered our starters. In between we got cold bread that they circulate around in a basket and tasteless hard “truffle” butter. But that’s where the service ended… we finished our food, clean plates, and sat there for the next 25 minutes. We still wanted our entrees and dessert, but nobody even looked over at us to take plates away. I had to get up and ask for our bill because otherwise we would have stayed there the whole night. MIND YOU! The restaurant was not busy at all!! It was at around 30-40% capacity. They honestly made it feel like it was because we weren’t dressed appropriately since everyone else seemed like they were receiving service.

Everything was just right here! Amazing specialty dishes, fantastic service and a high-end warm ambiance. The photos online do not do it justice, it is a magical hidden gem on Lanzarote, highly recommend!

Absolutely loved our time at this restaurant, our waiter and all the waiters were attentive and really friendly. Food was great, salmon and fried cheese starters were delicious. Sea bass main was stunning (according to my partner - I’m allergic to fish) and my steak was great, albeit a little under - but quickly rectified by the kitchen. A lovely way to spend an afternoon, so much so we booked to return before we leave! Oh and the view is beautiful. Definitely worth a visit!

Exceptional restaurant. Menu is excellent and varied with a very authentic selection of meals. I had the 8-hour cooked goat, which was as fine a meal as I've had for a long time. The cheesecake was perfection and the wine by the glass was super. Very very good and great value.

- Beautiful restaurant with luxurious feel and great outdoor terrace. Definitely on the fancier side for Lanzarote. - We had great nice food, plenty of appetising options but overall quite pricy for the island. - Service was disappointing and kind of dismissive. We ordered three starters for two and the main never came after +1:30h. They forgot it but didn’t acknowledge it. 90€ for two with no main..:
