La Bodega de Santiago

Lanzarote


Fronted by a magnificent ficus tree, at the northeast end of town, this beautiful wood-beamed 19th-century manor is reason alone to stop off in Yaiza. Scattered intimate dining rooms and a background of classical music accompany the updated-Canarian menu, which tempts with hearty soups, inventive salads, meat-heavy mains and divine desserts (try the chocolate 'volcano' with mango ice cream). Reservations recommended.
