If you are looking for proteins, here is a place serving some tender and juicy steaks from Uruguay. We went for a boneless fore rib - rare (a tomahawk with no bone) and a beef low loin - medium/rare (thinner cut, go for rare if you want a medium rare though…), both served with vegetable, fries and sauces (chimichurry and garlic sauce). Both were very tasty (with or without sauces) and juicy. We ended with a chocholate coulant cake, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and cream. Venue and service: Placed in the old town near the Parroquia de San Ginés, this restaurant is a very easy place, with few tables available in a calm street. Staff is caring and gentle. Table setup and overall service was very basic.

So far, the best place we visited in Arrecife. Enormous food portions, first quality ingredients and taste. The staff speaks good English, they’re very helpful, happy to have a conversation and joke for a bit. We were even offered blankets as it was a bit chilly outside. Great atmosphere overall, highly recommend!

A fantastic Uruguayan restaurant in downtown Arrecife. The beef is top-notch—cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, which adds to the experience. Also a nice wine selection. It’s a lively spot with a great atmosphere, perfect for a relaxed meal. Definitely worth checking out!

Highly recommend this restaurant if you are in area. We went here for lunch and we left feeling very satisfied with the service and food. The steak was cooked to perfection and it was so soft! The garlic prawns were amazing and go very well with warm bread as recommended by the waitress. I will definitely be returning when back in Lanzarote!
