La Puerta Verde

We have been visiting the area for a week and have come to this restaurant with my parents 4 times this week. We keep returning because of the lovely friendly staff, delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. They have an outdoor area, an under cover outdoor area and inside seating too. We will really miss coming here! Thank you so much for the happy memories and we promise to return when we come to Lanzarote. Would highly recommend 💚

Very good restaurant. Good food. Not huge portions so expect to have more than one course, but the quality is excellent. They have bottles of the craft beers from NAO brewery in Arrecife. It's just a few minutes walk up the hill from the main bus stop. If returning to Arrecife you can watch the bus pass by to Maguez where it turns round then you know you have time to wander down to bus stop.

When I arrived there were 3 tables with guests. Nevertheless I waited 45 minutes for the Thai mussels When I told the waiter about the lateness I was told it take 15 min to cook ( have you cooked mussels? Max 10 'min otherwise the are overcooked) BTW in the meantime newcomer got their starters and main-black rize- wich the menu mentioned takes 30min!!! Later got an apology which I appreciate but it won't make up for the horrible mussels: dirty, overcooked (looking at the it seems they were in an oven for while), no spice just bits of ginger and I am not even sure the white bits in the sauce is coconut cream!

Beautiful charming little restaurant. Very nice service and delicious food. I highly recommend it. We drove there for 40 minutes and it was worth it. I recommend making a reservation, we didn't have one but we managed to eat there. A charming place on the island

We had a wonderful and relaxing dinner at this restaurant. The food was exceptional, and the staff were both professional and genuinely kind. Highly recommended!

We were staying in Haría and had our last dinner here. The friendliest servers and fantastic food. A mix of the more traditional offerings and twists on others. We had a delicious artichoke starter, gambas al ajillo, and the yummy arroz negro with seafood. The local dessert was sticky sweet but if you like dulce de leche and almonds, you will like it.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. We've only just discovered it and have already reserved a table again for a 3rd visit.😋👌

Very tasty food and kind hosts! I recommend trying the fish of the day, we had tuna and sea bass for dinner, both were cooked fantastically. The local wine is gorgeous and the desserts delicious!

We stopped by just to get a cappucino and were taken aback 20 years. Not because the place is old or not well maintained, but because it suddenly felt as if we were backpacking again. Our baby was asleep in the car, so we could have a relaxed very early dinner (or very late lunch) surrounded by locals and served by two lovely middle aged men. The food was definitely good, the offerings plenty and everything had so much heart that we could feel it with every cell of our bodies. An incredible last moment to a great day trip. I hope they keep it up and stay true to what they offer here: down to earth eating experience that will have you dreaming of times past (at least if you're around 40 now).

Unfortunately I have to rate this place relatively low, as the food I had was really good. They advertise themselves as a restaurant for slow food and by God slow it was! The one waitress on duty during our visit was not able at all to handle all the tables simultaneously and we had to wait sooooo long until our food arrived that we had almost given up on it. Which should have been a warning but then it tasted so good and we wanted some desert. Most tables seemed to have been served by then so we felt we could take the risk. But first it took an eternity until we could place the order for two pieces of cake and two coffees and after we were still waiting for them half an hour later we simply gave up! Really sad, as the place is otherwise quite nice.... At least if you don't sit in the music crossfire between what is played in the restaurant and what the kitchen staff is blasting from their corner.
