The flavors of Fuerteventura

As a tradition, "paella" remains the culinary symbol of all of Spain which, however, can vary in ingredients depending on the areas concerned.

A dish that with its flavors, a mix of vegetables, fish, meat and rice, embodies the Spanish philosophy that embraces multitudes of different races and cultures within its borders.

Canarian goat stew is a typical peasant dish where, thanks to the addition of wine and spices, a soft and round flavor is obtained. 

The most authentic versions are eaten in the trattorias of the inland villages, and often also contain particular cuts such as liver and heart.

Goat meat must be well treated to mitigate its very strong wild flavor, but in the Canaries in the form of stew it takes on a tasty flavor.

This is the most famous dish of the Canaries, it can be enjoyed as an appetizer, or as a side dish to main courses.

This poor recipe consists of small round potatoes typical of the Canaries that are cooked in their skins and then served in a crock accompanied by two types of mojo, the red one (which is slightly spicy and is made with garlic, red peppers, red peppers, spices and oil) and the green one (made with coriander, green pepper and garlic).

This simple spoon dessert was imported into all the Canary Islands from Portugal and has become customary in Fuerteventura. 

It is a cream made with fresh eggs, sugar syrup and cinnamon that is served in many restaurants after a meal.

Located in the ancient port of El Cotillo, at La Vaca Azul you will be able to enjoy a wide range of specialties, from fresh fish to risottos, salads and of course homemade desserts.

The restaurant has a large terrace overlooking the sea, which will make the meal even more memorable.

The kindness and hospitality of the staff is very helpful as well as the owner of the restaurant, who always recommends an excellent grilled fresh fish of the day.

The prices are high compared to the island standard, but more than deserved.

This simple but cozy restaurant is located on the island of Lobos, just a few minutes from Corralejo.

Given its proximity to Fuerteventura, it therefore deserves to be taken into consideration regardless of the visit to the island of Lobos.

Here you can try fresh fish, truly delicious.

The restaurant is very spartan but with a breathtaking sea view and very low prices. 

Being the only restaurant on the island, reservations are required, which can be made either by phone or on site if you arrive early in the morning with the launch.

From lunch to dinner, passing through the aperitif, Gilda is the right place for 'tapear' facing the sea.

Youthful and welcoming, the restaurant has few tables and seats at the counter, to create an intimate atmosphere among friends.

Mainly tapas, as well as small portions to share, for all tastes: 

appetizing montaditos (small sandwiches), goat cheese, tortilla de patatas (potato omelette), pimientos verdes (fried and very salty green chillies), Russian salad and much more.

The small and nice restaurant offers typical island dishes at a reasonable price.

They particularly like this place because it feels a bit like home here: 

a small and easy-going place, with painted walls, a few steps from the sea, and a very kind Italian manager who has moved to Fuerteventura for many years. 

Classic seafood dishes such as "pulpo alla gallega" are available, but also grilled cheese. 

This place offers cheesecake, a dessert known all over the world, in a Spanish version:

prepared with local goat cheese.

In Puertito De Los Molinos, it is ideal to stop for lunch and watch the sunset from Las Bohemas De L'amour, a restaurant set up in a hippie style with hammocks hanging from the ceiling where you can taste Tapas and cerveza. 

The “Spanish tortilla” and the “Galician pulpo” are very popular.
