What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Chalanita is praised for its friendly service, spectacular sea views, and a menu featuring delicious seafood, particularly the paella and flambé dishes. While many highlight the quality of the food and the charming atmosphere, some reviews mention slow or disorganized service and occasionally disappointing seafood freshness.
"Really lovely, friendly staff. Fantastic food. Really reasonably priced. If I ever return to Lanzarote, I’ll definitely be making a trip to this incredible restaurant."
Natalie Langford
"We found this place whilst looking for another restaurant that turned out to be closed!
I'm really glad we did. The owners were very kind and sorted us out with a table after a short wait. I'd recommend booking because it's popular.
The garlic prawns were some of the nicest we ate on this holiday. The mains were good, but I think we should have tried one of the flambé dishes for which they are justifiably well known.
We did go for the crêpe Susette and they were perfect. Absolutely melt in the mouth gorgeous.
The décor is quite traditional but intimate and the view out over the sea is lovely.
The main entrance is just up some steps from the seafront walkway in a tiny street halfway between the front and the main shopping street. But there is a door on the seafront which can easily be missed.
Good wines and drinks topped off a really enjoyable dinning experience. We'd definitely go back."
Paul Bissell
"Food is reeeeally tasty and the drinks are also very good! After having had a variety of drinks, we wanted to end the day with an espresso martini and it turned out to be one of the tastiest we've ever had!
An absolute plus is the location right by the water - sometimes you can get a 4D experience with the waves crashing onto the walkway! Definitely recommended, in comparison to the busier places on the promenade."
