RESTAURANT
The restaurant offers the tasting of traditional dishes and flavors of the island’s cuisine: millet broth, goat meat stew, octopus with green mojo, or the famous canarian wreckfish stew, made with market products, all paired with the largest selection of wines of Lanzarote Designation of Origin.
And for cheese lovers, we have a careful selection of fresh, semi-cured or cured Lanzarote cheeses. Handmade cheeses made mostly with goat’s milk, but also exquisite blends with sheep’s and cow’s milk. Undoubtedly a pleasure for the senses and a better souvenir.
What to see

What to do
The masters located in la Plaza de los Artesanos try to preserve and promote authentic local craftsmanship by offering workshops and exhibiting their pieces for sale.

Braiding and Millinery
Artisan: Yolanda Benedicta Torres Moreno
The natural palm heart comes from the central leaves of palm trees (they are cut, traditionally, on the day of San Juan), dried in the sun and manually laminated. The technique of traditional braiding with several strands and later cooked with others, has been used in the islands throughout the years for multiple uses such as the creation of hats, carpets, etc.
Her products are made with artisan techniques and, for the most part, with sustainable materials such as palm heart, palm, porcelain or ceramics, among others, with which she creates from hats and headdresses to earrings or brooches.
