Paella with a sea view at the restaurant “RESTAURANTE LA TIÑOSA”

I recently read an article, or rather the teaser for an article, that you shouldn't eat at places with a sea view. And I can understand why. Where you have a great view, the food can become secondary and therefore not taste all that good… We were…

We went to the restaurant RESTAURANTE LA TIÑOSA in Lanzarote, right on the seafront. Our front-row seat, directly on the path, offered a perfect view of the harbor town and the setting sun. I must say, my initial concerns proved unfounded. The service was incredibly friendly and the wine was good. We had various cheeses as a starter, all very mild and, to be honest, a little too bland for my taste – I prefer strong cheeses. My wife, however, thoroughly enjoyed the different varieties.

For our main course, we had a paella with fish and seafood. First off: it was absolutely delicious, and the portion size for two people was perfect!
Personally, I've never been a big fan of seafood: the calamari rings were too rubbery for me, and the mussels... well, they're just mussels.

When we travel, I also try to experience something new, to step outside my comfort zone, and that's exactly what I wanted here. It was worth it! Both the mussels and the calamari rings were delicious and not at all how I remembered them.

The entire evening was a complete success and, at around €30 per person, perfectly reasonable. We highly recommend this restaurant.
