Lani’s Gourmet Restaurant — Restaurant in Tías

A Birthday Celebration Beyond Expectations at Lani's Gourmet Restaurant! My recent birthday dinner at Lani's Gourmet Restaurant in Lanzarote was truly an unforgettable experience, and I couldn't wait to share my glowing review. Originally, I had planned to visit with a friend during my holiday, but when plans changed and I found myself traveling solo, I was determined to still celebrate my special day in style. From the moment I made the reservation, I knew I was in good hands. Miriam's lovely reply was so welcoming, and her promise to make my birthday special was something I looked forward to. And boy, did she deliver! Upon arrival, I was immediately struck by the warm and attentive nature of all the staff. Each person I encountered made a genuine effort to wish me a happy birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch and made me feel incredibly welcome despite being on my own. My table was beautifully decorated, and just as I had requested, it was situated in the most wonderful spot with a breathtaking view of the ocean. It was the perfect setting for a celebratory meal. To my delightful surprise, there was live music! While I unfortunately can't recall the gentleman's name, his voice was absolutely captivating and added such a wonderful ambiance to the evening. The highlight of his performance was undoubtedly his charmingly improvised rendition of "Happy Birthday" – a truly special and personal moment that brought a huge smile to my face. Beyond the exceptional service and atmosphere, the food at Lani's Gourmet Restaurant was simply spectacular. Every dish was a delight, beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. I cannot recommend Lani's Gourmet Restaurant highly enough. From the delicious food and stunning atmosphere to the incredibly attentive and kind staff, especially Miriam, everything contributed to a truly memorable birthday celebration. Even though my friend couldn't join me, Lani's made sure my solo birthday was nothing short of perfect.

We booked here for our wedding anniversary and found the whole experience pretty underwhelming.

We advised them that it was our anniversary and weren’t expecting any special treatment, but a table with a view would have been nice. We ended up sat in the centre of the restaurant next to a life sized glittery leopard sculpture instead (this probably gives you a good idea of the interior decoration style - think Micheal Jackson living in Essex).

We ordered a Chateaubriand which was cooked perfectly but was devoid of any seasoning - to the point that it was actually quite bland. There was salt on the table so we were able to correct this, but for a “gourmet” experience it’s bordering on unforgivable. The starters (croquettes and duck salad) were both fine but not especially memorable.

The wine we ordered was good, we had another complementary glass on arrival and an amuse-bouche (everybody is offered this) which was a nice touch.

The service was a little strange though. There was a man going round and chatting to all the tables, but he actively avoided us for the whole evening! I suspect he was talking to the hotel residents, who all had the best tables overlooking the sea. The service could only be described as unattentive - other than when they took our order or brought our food, nobody spoke to us or checked how our food was. Nobody topped up our wine and when we’d finished our main course nobody offered us a dessert menu or a coffee either. We took this as their way of asking us to leave (it wasn’t late) so we settled the fairly sizeable bill and left.

We’d heard great things about this restaurant but to be honest, we were disappointed. The food was fine but not worth what we’d paid, the service was pretty poor (it would seem hotel guests get a far better experience) and they basically ignored us until we left.

Maybe it was an off night but you really expect more for €160+ and they don’t even offer you a dessert. Kentia at La Isla y El Mar remains a...

This restaurant has left me speakless, just got back to our hotel after eating one of the best meals I have ever had, my parents came here a couple of years ago and recommended it so we thought we'd give it a try, we hadn't booked but they squeezed us in and sat us outside which was just beautiful looking out to the sea, we were warmly welcomed straight away and offered blankets and the heater on if needed. Immediately got a complimentary drink and an aperitif which were both stunning, the truffle butter with the bread was divine along with the little touches of the salt and olive oil. we ordered cocktails which were amazing and beautifully presented, the starters were aesthetically pleasing to the eye and the flavour explosion was very pleasing, we had the cheese with fig jam and the oxtail croquettes, the croquettes were melt in the mouth and the cheeses were delicious and presented with such refinement. For mains my husband had the short ribs which fell off the bone and I had the mixed meat which all I can say was the best main I have ever had, the fillet steak was cooked to perfection, the pork was lovely, the lamb cutlets were extremely good, even down to the vegetables, fries and chimichurri sauce were amazing, we shared a creme brulee and the flavour was lovely with a really good snap on the sugar, to finish off we had complimentary toffee vodka shots. I can honestly say I never write a review this indepth but I was so impressed and for what we paid, it was so worth it. The place is beautiful and so well decorated, the staff were friendly and helpful and polite and hats off to the chef the food was out of this world. Its my husbands birthday so we wanted somewhere a little bit more special and lani's delivered that. Next time we are here we will...
