If sushi and Japanese cuisine are your thing, SHIBUMI is a Playa Blanca restaurant that hits the mark every time. Stylish, modern, and bursting with flavour, it’s the perfect spot for a date night or a night out with friends.

The chefs bring creative dishes inspired by Japan and beyond, with sushi rolls, sashimi, and fusion plates that never disappoint (my favourite is the Wagyu Robata and some mochi to finish!).

3. Luna

If you’re craving authentic Italian food in Playa Blanca, Luna (formerly known as Luna Rossa) is the place to go. Recently refurbished, this Italian owned restaurant combines a warm, stylish atmosphere with one of the loveliest sunset views in town. I’ve been going here since I was five, and it’s always been a favourite.

Make sure you ask for the ‘aperitivos’ when you go, the dough balls are the highlight of the trip!

The pizzas are simply amazing, authentic, thin-based and fluffy crust, and loaded with fresh ingredients, just like you’d expect from a proper Italian kitchen. The menu also offers delicious pasta dishes, antipasti, and perfectly paired wines, making it a fantastic spot for both casual meals and special evenings.

What makes Lunna stand out is the mix of tradition and modern comfort. Whether you’re sitting outside watching the sunset over Playa Blanca or enjoying a cozy evening inside, the experience feels authentically Italian yet perfectly at home in Lanzarote. For locals and visitors alike, Lunna is one of the best Italian restaurants in Playa Blanca.

4. Volcán de Timanfaya

For a true taste of Lanzarote, Volcán de Timanfaya is the go-to Playa Blanca restaurant. Focused on traditional Canarian cuisine, it’s perfect for anyone wanting grilled meats, local wines, and authentic island flavours. They have a large tapas menu for those seeking the authentic experience!

Top Tip: If you go after 5pm, they use the on-show barbecue grill and it all has that BBQ flavour – the lamb chops are to die for!

The cozy, friendly atmosphere makes it great for families or casual evenings with friends. From slow-cooked meats to fresh local vegetables, the dishes are flavourful, and genuinely Canarian. Locals love it, and tourists quickly fall in love with its charm. If you’re searching for authentic Playa Blanca dining, Volcán de Timanfaya is the place to experience real Lanzarote flavours.

5. Ninen

Right next door to our Playa Blanca office, our neighbour, Ninen is a true hidden gem in Playa Blanca. This small, niche restaurant is all about fresh, homemade pasta and trust me, it’s absolutely to die for (especially the carbonara!). Every dish is crafted with love and care, giving you that authentic Italian comfort food feeling right here in Lanzarote.

Because it’s such a cozy and intimate spot, tables are limited, so booking ahead is a must. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for anyone who loves high-quality, freshly prepared food. From rich sauces to perfectly cooked pasta, every plate feels like a work of art.

Ninen might be small, but it has a big reputation among locals and visitors alike. If you’re looking for one of the best restaurants in Playa Blanca to enjoy authentic homemade pasta, this is the place you don’t want to miss.
