Restaurante Carbón Carbón — Restaurant in Arrecife

We had the pleasure of dining here twice during our weeklong vacation in May. We originally booked the restaurant based on a recommendation from a local guide. Apparently, Carbon Carbon was opened last December after the owner sold his former restaurant Toro in Tias. After having a wonderful experience the first night at Carbon Carbon, we decided to book a second reservation for our final night in Lanzarote. Daniel, the manager, and his staff were cheerful, very thorough in the explanation of their fabulous meats, and always very attentive with their service. Daniel was very helpful In providing understanding of their steak preparation process and wine pairings. All the dishes were prepared with great craftsmanship and very deep flavors.

The meal started with an appetizer complements of the house. One night was salmarejo and the second night was fresh, local cheese paired with gofrio (a Canarian specialty). Their grilled finca de uga cheese timbale appetizer was a smoky salad course with sweet chutney and grilled cheese which reminded us of the best American barbecue flavors. Their steaks were weighed table side, cooked to perfection, and also served with a tabletop grill to adjust your meat temperature (if you desire). We have been very fortunate to enjoy some of the finest steaks in the world (Peter Lugar New York, El Capricho, Bistecca alla Fiorentina, etc.) and can confidently say, that Carbon Carbon is equal to the absolute best! The marbling of the sub-primal cuts and length of maturation results in a steak of beautiful texture and richness of flavor. Combine this with their friendly service and thoughtful wine selection and you’re in for a...

El pasado jueves 3 de julio de 2025, disfrutamos de una excepcional comida en Carbón Carbón Restaurante, ubicado en La Marina de Arrecife (Lanzarote). Este local, especializado en cortes premium a la parrilla, combina una estética moderna y acogedora —con tonos oscuros y dorados— con vistas al puerto deportivo, creando un ambiente sofisticado pero íntimo.

Comenzamos con una botella de vino D.O. Ribera del Duero y pan de Los Valles, acompañado de aceites de oliva virgen variedades Picual y Arbequina. Como entrante, probamos un tartar de carne exquisitamente condimentado, seguido de un chuletón de vaca Simmental (raza suiza originaria del valle de Simme, en el cantón de Berna), servido con patatas y hortalizas. El restaurante añadió un detalle notable: una parrilla cúbica con carbón para que pudiéramos ajustar el punto de la carne a nuestro gusto. La experiencia fue tan gratificante que requirió una segunda botella de vino.

Tras la comida, llegó el momento de los espirituosos: aguardiente Santiamén y Grappa, este último un destilado italiano de orujo que me evocó recuerdos de un viaje a Porto Empedocle (Sicilia) en 2021, donde lo disfruté con dos amigas italianas, Ludovica y Domenica. La sobremesa, animada por una conversación relajada y prolongada, se alargó hasta la noche, y el personal —especialmente Pablo, un camarero gallego de trato impecable— nos sorprendió con un obsequio final: huevos estrellados con jamón serrano y patatas fritas.

Aspectos destacados: Calidad de los productos: Desde los cortes de carne hasta los acompañamientos y bebidas, todo fue seleccionado con esmero. Servicio excelente: El equipo, liderado por Pablo, demostró profesionalidad y conocimientos en vinos y carnes, ofreciendo consejos acertados. Detalles diferenciadores: La parrilla portátil y el obsequio final reflejaron una atención al cliente sobresaliente. Relación calidad-precio: Aunque orientado a un público de nivel medio-alto, la experiencia justifica el coste.

Conclusión: Carbón Carbón es un referente en Lanzarote para los amantes de la carne y el servicio refinado. Su combinación de productos premium, ambiente elegante y trato personalizado lo convierten en un lugar al que, sin...

Still sitting at the restaurant while I’m writing this because this place deserves it SO MUCH!! Flavors, presentation, portions, price, service, everything absolutely perfect. I am gluten intolerant and I only asked if they had gluten free bread out of curiosity and they said they could bring me one. Little did I know that they would make sure to bring a gluten free option with EVERY SINGLE DISH we ordered. I’m so so happy about it and I honestly think this place deserves lots of recognition. Superb food. Superb service. We had the carpaccio, jamon and cured meat that I now forgot the name but it’s one of the special selection ones. Absolutely amazing. Thank...
