I'm so glad we found El Invernadero on our latest trip to Fuerteventura. This is indeed such a hidden gem. Hidden away from the main tourist areas, you drive along the main road and turn off towards the sand dunes, take yourself off semi off road up to the restaurant. We received a warm welcome by the lovely Rosa, who invited us to look out into the adjourning garden to the restaurant. We then made our way to the table and Rosa explained the menu to us. For a total of 6 courses and one drink the total is 29.90 Euros. We did not have to wait for long for our first course which was absolutely beautiful. Wonderful delicate vegetable gyoza, incredible dipping sauce and a mouth watering croquette. Both my partner and I were now eagerly anticipating the other dishes. The vegan Cesar Salad was incredible my partner and I duelled over the shared dish XD. My only issue personally was having hot soup on a hot day, maybe it's the British in me that likes to have hot soup on a cold day, but in the heat of Fuerteventura I, personally would have preferred a gazpacho. I was not personally looking forward to the Moussaka; Moussaka is not a dish I enjoy. I needn't have worried because this was the best Moussaka I've experienced. The trio of deserts were also divine!
To top it all off the ambience is incredible. I've dined in Michelin starred restaurants and whilst, yes, it is a great meal there. The warmth of this family run restaurant, the quality of the food and the passion you feel from the chef, all whilst you can feed the fish and relax is a top quality experience. The chef himself Alexis was joyful and explained that his inspiration for his dishes is his garden, where he looks out and plans the menu for the next week.
I can only explain the dishes we had as the dishes change every week! This place is a labour of love and I give my thanks to Alexis, Claudia and Rosa for giving us a great experience. I also hate to say this, as the prices may increase by the time we next make it over to Fuerteventura, but we tipped generously as we felt it was deserved and the prices far too reasonable for...
Read moreDear Fuerteventura Community,
This was one of the best - if not „the best“ restaurant experience I‘ve ever had.
It‘s not a usual restaurant atmosphere, it‘s more like having dinner in a wonderful garden, which looks like an oasis. Especially in the evening with the sunset it gives you a romantic and magical vibe.
After a quick walk through the garden where you can see your food growing, the very nice waiter welcomes you with a detailed overview of the today‘s menu.
The menu consists of five courses, each of them were creative vegan recipes
Beginning with the „tapa de bienvenida“, which was a delicious hummus, spiced with cinnamon, fried garlic and served with gluten-free bread.
The Entrante was a beautifully looking Ensalada „Waldorf“ style with coconut yoghurt dressing, fresh celery and decorated with eatable flowers from the garden.
The first course was a mushroom celery cream soup, which was very tasty.
As a Main dish we got delicious „Albondigas“, a traditional spanish speciality in perfectly done tomato eggplant sauce. And to be honest, as a meat lover you couldn‘t even taste, that it was vegan. Chapeau!
My personal favorite was the dessert! we got a lovely chocolate peanut butter cream pie and on top of that a delicate vegan version of the traditional Spanish flan 🍮
The price for the whole menu was totally fair and the portions were perfectly sized. Good to know: the menu changes every week.
Definitely 5 out of 5 Big recommendation for everyone who wants to try creative, experimental and delicious recipes!

Read moreHands down to this family business running and all the chefs collaborating with the menu and the waiters. We went there as suggestion from Local peoples, It’s the second time in fuerteventura and the Vegan game couldn’t get better. The project started a decade ago with just having a field and growing plants then three years ago the family decided to take the next step to build a restaurant in front of the land. We were lucky enough to see the sunset,the landscape is breathtaking and peaceful. Even thought they were really busy, The father and chef was explaining every single dish. I like the story behind everything. Their menu is a fix and seasonal that goes trough different influences and country from Morocco to Germany to Italy. Very tasty food with a lot layers notes and flavour well presented as well. YES I’m working in a quality driven coffee shop in london serving world class coffee beans and I’m a foodie) Amazing chemistry with the chef and their family we could see the spark in their eyes when asked “how did everything started” They take proud on what their are doing and collaborating with a beer made in fuerteventura to save and educate school and farmer of animal welfare and abuse. I wish all the best so sorry to take all this time to write a...
