The story
El Risco has long been a fixture on Lanzarote’s dining scene, and 2025 marks a significant evolution. The restaurant has moved to a new space just two minutes from its original location, sharing grounds with Restaurante Dunas de Famara. The idyllic natural surroundings of Famara remain the backdrop, and the kitchen team, menu, and signature dishes are unchanged.
The kitchen’s philosophy is rooted in seasonality and locality. The Bib Gourmand recognition from Michelin in 2026 highlights the restaurant’s commitment to good-quality, good-value cooking and cements its reputation as one of the island’s essential seafood destinations. Expect dishes built around the catch of the day and produce sourced from the nearby land.
Despite the new setting, El Risco retains its welcoming, professional spirit. The outdoor seating invites diners to enjoy the coastal breeze, while the indoor space offers comfort with air conditioning. Whether you are revisiting a classic plate or discovering a new seasonal special, the dedication to honest, flavourful seafood remains at the heart of every meal.
