I cannot speak highly enough of La Bohemia restaurant - it truly exceeded all my expectations from the moment I stepped in. Our first encounter with their hospitality was on our very first night in Lanzarote, after a flight delay that had us arriving quite late. Desperately seeking milk for my 17-month-old baby, I dropped in at 11 pm, hoping for a small miracle. To my surprise and delight, they not only had milk but also kindly gifted me a whole 2-liter bottle, refusing to accept any payment. Their kindness and warmth instantly made me feel welcome in a foreign land.
The next day, we decided to have a proper dining experience at La Bohemia, and it turned out to be an extraordinary culinary journey. The food was beyond excellent, each dish bursting with flavors that delighted our taste buds. Their menu offered a wide variety of options, and everything we tried was prepared to perfection.
What impressed me even more was their consideration for my little one. They went out of their way to cater to her needs, preparing a child-friendly meal that she thoroughly enjoyed. The staff's attentiveness to her was heartwarming and made us feel like valued guests.
Speaking of the staff, they were all incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating throughout our visit. Their genuine smiles and warm demeanor made the dining experience even more enjoyable.
The ambiance of La Bohemia was simply delightful. The restaurant had a charming and cozy atmosphere, and the overall vibe was inviting and relaxed. It's no wonder the place is always packed! I would highly recommend making a reservation in advance to secure a table, as it is undoubtedly a popular spot.
In conclusion, La Bohemia is a gem in Lanzarote. From their exceptional service, amazing food, to the heartwarming gestures towards my baby, they made our dining experience truly special. If you're looking for a restaurant with top-notch food, friendly staff, and a great ambiance, La Bohemia should be at the top of your list. I can't wait to return and create more beautiful memories at this wonderful...
Read moreThe restaurant appears to be a victim of its own success, it's always busy and booking is the only way to guarantee a table.
I made a 7pm Monday booking for a party of four, arrived early, waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged, 10 minutes to be seated, another 10 to receive menus, then 15 minutes before someone came and took our drinks order.
The restaurant was empty but there was a mountain of dirty dishes on the bar from the lunchtime session that all of the staff were trying to clear, this reduced the level of service to waiting customers.
The waiters when they did eventually arrive were friendly, engaging and apologetic for the long waits; food and drink orders were taken.
Surprisingly the food arrived very quickly in comparison to our earlier wait times and all eyes lit up with glee at the presentation of it; the wait seemed worth it.
The steaks were grilled to perfection, they were succulent and juicy. All dishes are accompanied by padron peppers and "skin-on" fries.
I personally didn't order steak and opted for Iberian pork (black pig). I last had black pig in Portugal and remembered the sweetness and succulence of the meat. Steak I can get anywhere but black pig; options are limited.
Unfortunately this black pig was neither sweet or succulent, but bland and chewy, not at all what I expected.
The overall the experience was positive, it would have been a 5 star review if not for the poor service at the beginning; customers don't like to...
Read moreMyself and my 9 year old went for dinner last night as the reviews were great and close to our hotel. We waited 13 mins before been handed a menu, in this time we observed the state of the floor, utter filth!! My son went to the loo which he described as " a scary experience". Beer, fanta and bread arrived which were good. Then my fillet steak and my sons spaghetti bolanise... It went downhill from here...the steak was so cold and undercooked, I'm not sure what to compare the taste to but I only managed 2 mouthfuls. The waiter eventually took it away (after 25 mins) and never even asked if I enjoyed it (which I obviously didn't). To be polite we ordered dessert. I ordered the Creme caramel and my son ordered the chocolate cake. The cake was good but the creme caramel looked and tasted like scrambled eggs....which I obviously didn't eat.... So I ordered the bill (still no reference as to why I didn't touch my meal) 15 mins later....still no bill so we called a waiter..." the printer is broken so you have to go behind the bar to view your bill on the till ( thanks for telling us, NOT). On the way to the till we got a view of the kitchen....lets just say..... The health inspectators would have had a field day. ... Still no reference to the slow service, sub standard food, inconvenience and bad hygiene. I still can't get over the amount of 5 star reviews, maybe our visit was once in a blue moon? Very...
