Playa Blanca restaurants: Lanzarote's only Michelin star

Which restaurants in Playa Blanca are confirmed as worth a visit?

Kamezí, at Calle Mónaco 2 near the Pechiguera lighthouse, serves Canarian cooking at Michelin-star level. According to La Voz de Lanzarote, it holds Lanzarote's only Michelin star, confirmed for 2026.

The paper names head chef Rubén Cuesta and the Michelin gala of 26 November 2025. Guía Repsol (a Spanish restaurant guide) lists Kamezí in the €€€ price band, from 60 euros, with one Sol.

The tasting menu costs 105 euros, Repsol says, with vegetarian and gluten-free versions. The award dates from 2022 and was confirmed in 2025.

Diners get sea views, a garden and a summer terrace. To reach Kamezí, call 626 873 695 or visit kamezi.restaurant.

Whether you must book, or how far ahead, the sources we reviewed do not say. A tasting-menu restaurant suggests booking, but the restaurant has not set any rule.

La Cocina de Colacho, at Calle Velázquez 15, serves a single tasting menu built on island produce, much of it from its own garden. The chef is Nicolás “Colacho” Machín, and diners can watch the kitchen.

It won a Michelin Plate in 2024 and 2025. La Voz de Lanzarote lists it among five island restaurants the 2026 Michelin guide recommends.

Where can you find fresh fish and Canarian food in Playa Blanca?

Brisa Marina, at Avenida Marítima 97–99, offers Canarian cooking with a daily choice of fish, according to Guía Repsol. Juan Cabrera “el Majorero” runs the restaurant, and Repsol gives it a recommendation for 2026.

It sits in the €€ band and averages 35 to 60 euros per person, which is not the price of a single main course. You can call on 928 517 206, and its website is restaurantebrisamarina.es.

The Repsol page gives no opening hours in the details we reviewed. If you want a particular dish, ask the restaurant before you go.

Kamezí Deli & Bistró is also in Playa Blanca. La Voz de Lanzarote and Lanzarote3 say it carries a Michelin recommendation, and La Voz also reported a Repsol Sol.

The travel blog Capture the Atlas describes a tasting menu of nine to twelve courses in the €€€ band. The address, price and hours are not confirmed.

We found no verified information on specialities such as papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes), mojo (Canarian sauce) or gofio (toasted grain flour) in Playa Blanca. Brisa Marina (fresh fish) and Kamezí (island ingredients) come closest, but only a menu shows whether a dish is served.

What do restaurants in Playa Blanca cost in 2026?

A set lunch costs 13.50 euros on average in the Canary Islands in 2026, Diario de Avisos reported in October 2026. That is up 3.8% from 13.00 euros in 2025.

The Spanish average is 14.70 euros, and the Basque Country is dearest at 16.30 euros. The Canary Islands and Murcia are the cheapest regions.

There is no official price statistic for Playa Blanca itself. Tourist sites quote 10 to 14 euros for a set lunch of three courses with a drink, usually served from about 14:00 to 16:00.

They put tapas and simple dishes at 8 to 15 euros and a beer at 2 to 4 euros. These figures are undated and only a guide.

A search summary with no clear source puts fish dishes and menus in Marina Rubicón at 18 to 30 euros per main course. That figure is not confirmed either.

Better documented are the Guía Repsol figures. They give 35 to 60 euros per person at Brisa Marina and a 105-euro tasting menu at Kamezí.

For La Cocina de Colacho, the platform Joinpearl gives the €€€ band, but that has not been cross-checked. We found no price from the restaurant itself.

Check its website or phone before you book. Tasting-menu prices tend to change between seasons.

Which other Playa Blanca restaurants do travel guides name?

The travel blog Capture the Atlas names several more addresses in Playa Blanca that we could not check against a primary source. Hours and price bands come from the blog, not the restaurants, so treat them as a starting point and check each website.

Casa Carlos serves international food, including lamb, beef and grilled cod, in the €€ band. The blog highlights the “Paleta de Cordero Yaiza”, lamb cooked for 22 hours, and says the restaurant opens Wednesday to Monday.

Los Hervideros, with shellfish, tuna and paella, is described by the blog as Playa Blanca's oldest restaurant. It is in the €€ band and open Thursday to Tuesday.

Casual Seafood serves Portuguese fish and octopus cataplana in the €€ band, in the evenings from Thursday to Tuesday. In Marina Rubicón, the blog names La Casa Roja, with Mediterranean food and black rice (€€, a terrace above the yachts, evenings Monday to Saturday).

The blog also lists El Mirador, with Canarian food and views over Playa Blanca, and Lanis. For cheaper options, it names The Port of Call, with French-Mediterranean food and oven-baked sea bream, Avenida 55, with pizza and pasta, and Típico Español, with seafood paella.

All three are in the € band. La Voz de Lanzarote says Aromas Yaiza, on Avenida Playa Blanca, appeared in the 2012 Michelin guide, but that information is out of date.

What are the price rules on restaurant menus?

Decree 90/2010 of 22 July governs catering in the Canary Islands, and Decree 29/2013 amended it, according to the portal Consumoteca. Restaurants must keep a food menu and a drinks menu.

They may not charge for anything that is not on the menu or was not ordered. The menu must also say whether prices differ by where you eat, for example at the bar or on the terrace.

If you eat outside by the sea, read that note. Prices must be final prices, and the words “IGIC incluido” (Canarian sales tax included) belong on the menu, according to Consumoteca and Canarian Weekly of 6 September 2024.

So a restaurant may not add IGIC after the menu price. Diners can complain to consumer bodies, and Consumoteca describes the process under “reclamar a un restaurante en canarias”, a page we have not checked.

Canarian Weekly gives fines of 600 to 6,000 euros for minor breaches and 6,000 to 60,000 euros for serious or repeated ones. On the IGIC rate for restaurants, the sources disagree.

Canarian Weekly says 7%, while a Consumoteca extract gives a sharply reduced rate of 3%. The Agencia Tributaria Canaria (the Canarian tax agency) is the authority on this.

Where do people eat in Playa Blanca, and what is still unclear?

Restaurants cluster along Avenida Marítima near the old fishing quarter, on the parallel streets and in Marina Rubicón, with its yacht harbour and shopping village. Playa Blanca lies about 30 kilometres from the airport.

Hispanopedia gives a population of 13,205 for 2023. It lists town beaches, pedestrian streets and many themed restaurants.

Cheaper options are said to be the set lunch from about 14:00 to 16:00 and tapas menus before 18:00. Eating in the fishing quarter and at the harbour rather than in the marina is also said to cost less.

These tips come from tourist sources and are not confirmed. We found no official page from the Cabildo (island government) or the Canarian government on them.

Teneriffa-News gives an unchecked figure of 82 restaurants in Playa Blanca. There is no official count, and no confirmation of that number.

There is no price comparison with other islands either. We did not research closures specifically, though we found no reports of any.

Isla de Lobos, with chef João Faraco, is another open question. La Voz de Lanzarote reports a Repsol Sol in the 2023 guide, but it is not confirmed that the restaurant is in Playa Blanca or open in 2026.

For La Cocina de Colacho, Joinpearl and Capture the Atlas give evening opening from Monday to Thursday. Joinpearl advises booking at least two weeks ahead, but neither source has been checked with the restaurant.
