Restaurante El Barquillo (El Sótano)

Restaurante El Barquillo, affectionately known as El Sótano (The Basement) by locals due to its location in the lower level of a building in La Santa, is one of those places everyone knows about in Lanzarote. This restaurant has won the hearts of both residents and visitors thanks to its welcoming and authentic atmosphere, where homemade food takes center stage.

El Barquillo's culinary offering stands out for its fresh fish and seafood of exceptional quality, prepared with that homemade touch that's so hard to find. The atmosphere is a curious mix: local regulars who return again and again, international travelers of all kinds, and the occasional foodie who arrives by recommendation. The service is friendly and warm, even if you don't speak Spanish, and the quality-price ratio is truly hard to beat. It's somewhat hidden, but that's part of its charm: an open secret worth discovering on every visit to La Santa.
