Which restaurants in Morro Jable and Costa Calma are confirmed?
In the Guía Repsol restaurant guide, Costa Calma has exactly one listing: El Pellizco by Rigoberto Almeida, C. Montaña Azufra 1, 35627 Costa Calma, telephone +34 607 08 10 83. The guide rates it “Recomendado” and awards no Sol (sun).
The Repsol page shows the number 2026 but does not call it an award year. El Pellizco's menu page mentions neither Repsol nor an award in 2025.
Rigoberto Almeida, of Cuban-Canarian origin according to Guía Repsol, cooks in an open kitchen behind glass using local produce. The cuisine is described as Canarian and creative, with fish, seafood and ceviche.
Repsol lists papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes) with mojo picón (spicy sauce), Canarian cheeses, sushi majorero, a Mexican-Canarian taco and gyozas. The guide also notes sea views, wheelchair access, bookings and options for coeliacs and vegans.
Neither Repsol nor the restaurant's website gives opening hours, and neither page mentions a closure. Anyone planning a visit should check opening days with the restaurant directly.
El Pellizco's website shows a second branch in Morro Jable, Calle Antea Sra. del Carmen 13, telephone +34 828 08 64 06. The site also names another concept, “El 19 by el Pellizco”, but gives no details.
The blog Capture the Atlas describes a venue of that name as a tapas restaurant with Canarian cooking and Cuban influences, serving tempura and croquettes. It gives no address, so linking it to the branch is unconfirmed.
What does a meal in Morro Jable and Costa Calma cost?
Diners at El Pellizco pay 35 to 60 euros, according to Guía Repsol. For the tasting menu, Repsol gives 75 euros.
The restaurant's website instead shows the “La Majorera” menu at 80 euros, drinks not included, and “La Guantanamera” at 120 euros. This conflict is unresolved, and only the restaurant can confirm the current price.
No confirmed euro price exists for any other restaurant. The blog Capture the Atlas uses € and €€ symbols without explaining them, so no main course can be priced from them.
The travel portal of the official website gave further guide figures in July 2026, which could not be cross-checked and count as unconfirmed. It says a menú del día (set lunch menu) with three courses and a drink costs 10 to 14 euros and is served from about 14:00 to 16:00.
A main course in the harbour district is said to cost 10 to 20 euros. Weg.de lists sea-view meals from 15 euros.
The Canaries levy the consumption tax IGIC instead of Spanish IVA (VAT).
Consumoteca notes that a menu must state whether IGIC is included, otherwise the price counts as final. This too is unconfirmed.
Where can you eat by the harbour and beach in Morro Jable?
Morro Jable had 8,251 residents in 2018, according to Hispanopedia, while its infobox gives 7,919 for 2016 from the INE (Spanish statistics office). The first families lived in the early 20th century from fishing, farming, livestock and lime production.
The German engineer Gustav Winter promoted tourism in the 1960s, and the first hotel opened in 1966. According to Hispanopedia, the harbour has 290 berths and two shipping companies sail to Gran Canaria.
At the fishing harbour (Muelle Pesquero), the Barceló hotel chain's tourist guide names the restaurant Cofradía. It lists octopus, sardines, limpets, fried fish, papas con mojo and gofio mousse (a dessert of toasted maize flour).
Opening hours and prices are not given. A German tourism site also names the local parrotfish, vieja, as a speciality of the area.
Capture the Atlas (a blog, page date unknown) lists several venues. La Bodega de Jandía serves tapas, including Iberian ham, goat's cheese and a long whisky list.
The address, Calle Diputado Manuel Velázquez Cabrera 4, comes from the Barceló guide. The blog says booking is needed, but its articles contradict each other on opening hours.
La Laja stands right on the beach, according to the blog, serving grilled fish and meat and taking no reservations. It is said to open daily from 18:00 to 22:30.
La Farola del Mar, at the end of Playa del Matorral, offers Canarian cuisine and seafood. The menu address on the official website returned a 404 error, so whether it is open remains unconfirmed.
Other names from the same blog are La Puntilla Casa Menso, Casa Mimi, Saavedra Clavijo, Mis Abuelos and La Alacena34. The blog calls La Puntilla a family business with a terrace, open Tuesday to Saturday from 13:00 to 22:00.
Mis Abuelos opens at lunchtime only. Several entries share identical hours, so the details may be out of date.
What is there to eat in Costa Calma?
Like Morro Jable, Costa Calma belongs to the municipality of Pájara and is not a village that grew up over centuries. Tour operators write that in the early 1980s it had only one small hotel with a restaurant.
Another source dates the hotels to the 1970s, so the sources disagree. Sources give the distance between the two places as 21 to 25 kilometres.
Apart from El Pellizco, Guía Repsol lists no venue in Costa Calma. The Repsol page for Costa Calma shows 12 addresses, but the rest lie elsewhere, for example in Maspalomas, Las Palmas and Yaiza.
The Guide Michelin had no entry for Morro Jable or Costa Calma. This one venue is therefore the only quality evidence.
Other names come from secondary sources. The Barceló guide names the Mirador de Sotavento for its sunsets, with no further details.
On Wanderlog, guests praise the sea bass and bream at Terraza del Gato but note a recent drop in quality, and the address is unconfirmed. LeonkyKaringo on C. Punta del Roquito appears in one directory only.
Restaurante Stil and Al Fresco in Costa Calma, and Los Tigres del Sur, Restaurante Desértico and the Chiringuito El Faro de Jandía in Morro Jable, appear only in directories. According to the official website, the Costa Calma promenade has about 25 restaurants, mostly family-friendly.
That portal adds that German is widely understood there. Neither claim could be cross-checked.
How do you book, and what should you know before visiting?
El Pellizco's website links to CoverManager booking pages. Capture the Atlas says tables are few and demand is high, so booking is advisable.
Taberuga, a pizzeria with a restaurant, takes bookings by WhatsApp through its own website. The site shows no address, opening hours or prices.
The blog places Taberuga in the Playa del Matorral area near the lighthouse, serving Italian food with panoramic windows. The venue itself gives no location.
The website offers a 2026 drinks menu and food menus in German, English and Italian. That helps guests who speak no Spanish.
Travel guides name Christmas, Easter and August as times to book early, and they single out El Pellizco. Small tavernas sometimes prefer cash.
Harbour restaurants are quieter in the evening, and the official website says harbour tavernas do not serve dinner before 21:00. None of these tips is an official statement.
Decree 90/2010 governs catering in the Canaries, supplemented by Decree 29/2013. According to Consumoteca (as of 2020), the regional rules on premises are sparse, and where they are silent, national rules on menus from 1965 and 1978 apply.
A consumer organisation (OCU, 2022) calls for terrace surcharges to be shown on menus across Spain.
What is still unclear about these restaurants?
No venue named here has opening hours confirmed by a primary source. The hours for La Laja, La Puntilla and La Bodega de Jandía come from an undated blog.
El Pellizco has none either. Hours can change with the season, and only the restaurant can confirm them.
Prices are open too: apart from Repsol's range of 35 to 60 euros for El Pellizco, no main course is documented in euros. Even for the tasting menu, Repsol and the restaurant's website differ.
We have no official consumer prices for catering in Pájara. The wording of Decree 90/2010 on price display on menus was not reviewed, so statements on it remain unconfirmed.
This round-up is not based on an official catering list from the Cabildo de Fuerteventura (island government), and it is not known whether Guía Repsol lists other venues on the Jandía peninsula. Until then, only each venue can confirm hours and prices.
