Food & Dining in Fuerteventura

Good to Know

  • Budget-tier tapas bars and local guachinches (traditional taverns) offer the best value for authentic Canarian food
  • Tourist-focused beachfront restaurants often charge more than equivalent quality inland restaurants
  • Mojo sauce (red or green) accompanies most local dishes; it is ubiquitous and highly addictive
  • After-meal shots of local honey rum chupito with cream and cinnamon are common at traditional restaurants
  • International cuisine scene is strong in Corralejo due to the surf culture and international resident community
  • Vegan and vegetarian options are readily available in main resort areas, particularly Corralejo and El Cotillo; many mainstream restaurants offer plant-based menu items
  • Supermarkets in Corralejo often have higher prices than those in Puerto del Rosario or inland areas due to tourist markup
