Restaurante La Frasquita - Fuerteventura — Restaurant in Antigua

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable dining experience!

We had the pleasure of dining here and it was truly one of the best meals we’ve had in the Canary Islands. Everything – from the service, the atmosphere, to the food – was absolutely perfect.

We ordered several dishes to share, and each one was outstanding: • Freshly grilled fish served with garlic, herbs, and beautifully presented with fresh vegetables and lemon – cooked to perfection, moist and full of flavour. • Grilled octopus, tender and smoky, accompanied by Canarian potatoes and a fresh salad – simply delicious. • Padrón peppers, lightly salted and perfectly blistered – a must-try! • To accompany our meal, we had the house white wine, which was crisp, refreshing, and paired wonderfully with the seafood.

The presentation of each dish was as impressive as the taste – generous portions, colourful vegetables, and a real sense of freshness. The setting, right by the beach, made it even more special. Dining outdoors with the sea breeze and sunset created a magical atmosphere.

The staff were warm, attentive, and welcoming, making us feel truly at home. It’s rare to find a place that combines such excellent food, service, and location all in one.

We cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough – whether for fresh fish, traditional Canarian dishes, or simply a memorable evening by the ocean. We’ll definitely...

We came here twice - wasn't sure between 4 or 5 stars.

What we liked: Overall best place for fish in the area. Location gets top score - right on the beach with an amazing view of the harbor. Has both inside and tereace seating. It's very clean especially in the bathrooms. Selection of drinks is ok. Beer is ice cold. Just skip the plastic menus. You'll be approached anyway by staff with the daily fresh catch options.

Calamares and octopus were amazingly fresh and by far the softest we ever had. Baby squid was nice! The big snapper was fresh but not as enjoyable as the others. Side dishes included were ok. Oven potatoes quite nice surprise!

What we think can be improved easily: place is not necessarily child friendly (eg: no high seats and small places to navigate- can get boring) A bit annoying: You can't really tell what your final bill will be OR tell the quantities so might end up with take away for food that otherwise is only best served warm.

Otherwise service ranges from blant to very friendly depending on...

Unfortunately, the service is really bad which ruined the whole experience. I could only order drinks at the first waiter who came to me and though he knew I wanted to order food he apparently didn’t send anyone over nor did someone come to me. After 10 mins I tried to make eye contact with another waiter and 5 mins later I could order. By then my drink was but the drink waiter didn’t show up to ask if I want more. Pimientos del padron took 15 mins to make, but luckily I ordered bread and aioli. That platter came with another salsa I didn’t order and eat. When it came to paying (once I asked for the bill, I waited 17 minutes until someone appeared after I signaled I haven’t paid yet) and then they wanted me to pay for the other salsa I didn’t order. Had to talk to three people until they took it off the bill (if I’d been informed beforehand it is a package deal, I would have paid. But that wasn’t the case). Overall wouldn’t recommend and eager to go to the restaurant next to it (saw the waiters more often from...
