Flavors of Corralejo: Local Gastronomy That Makes You Feel at Home

Gastronomy Fuerteventura 
Hey, No-Tourist!
If you’re reading this, it’s because, like us, you love this land and its authentic flavor. At Buendía Corralejo, we know that the best way to get to know a place is through its food, and here, in our coastal corner of Fuerteventura, we have so much to offer. Forget about those "touristy" menus — we’re going to take you to the spots where locals eat, with authentic flavors and the warmth of our people.
Corralejo is so much more than dreamy beaches and perfect waves. It’s a melting pot of cultures and flavors that blend together in every dish. From the fresh fish of the day to the famous papas arrugadas with mojo picón, each bite takes you on a journey to the heart of Canary Island traditions.
Where to Eat Like a Local
Here are a few recommendations, straight from a neighbor to another:
- Fresh Fish at the Pier: There’s nothing like heading to the pier and picking your own fish to be grilled. Ask for the "vieja", "cherne", or "sargo" — they’re a real treat!
- Tapas in the Old Town: Get lost in the little alleys of the old town and discover tapas bars where every dish is a surprise. Don’t leave without trying the mojo verde and queso majorero!
- Gofio, the Taste of Our Land: This ancient food, made from toasted grains, is present in many of our recipes. Try it escaldado or as a dessert — you’ll love it!
- Restaurants with a Homely Touch: Look for those small family-run restaurants where food is slow-cooked with lots of love. You’ll feel right at home!
- & Waves Food & Drink: And if you’re in the mood for something a little more modern without leaving the neighborhood, head over to Waves Food & Drink! This restaurant, located right here in the complex, will surprise you with super innovative dishes and an atmosphere that’ll make you feel like you’re in the living room of your own home (but with better food, ;-) ;-)!)
Corralejo Will Leave You Hungry for More!
In Corralejo, we believe the best way to enjoy our gastronomy is on your own terms. There are no rules, just good ingredients, great company, and the desire to enjoy life. So whether you're the adventurous type or someone who loves the classic flavors, you’ll find your place here!
Our Tips:
- Ask the person next to you: There’s no better guide than a local from Corralejo. Ask them where they eat, what they order — let yourself be surprised!
- Step out of the tourist zone: Venture a little further away from the more well-known restaurants and discover those authentic spots that only locals know about.
- Try the local wines: Pair your meals with a good wine from Lanzarote or Fuerteventura. The wines of Lanzarote are known for their volcanic viticulture, with varieties like Malvasía Volcánica and Listán Blanco, grown in “socos” that add mineral notes, freshness, and acidity. Notable examples include wines from Bodegas Bermejo and El Grifo. Meanwhile, Fuerteventura, with its arid climate, produces unique wines through Bodegas Conatvs, where both whites and reds reflect the resilience of the vines in such a challenging island environment. Both islands offer wines with a distinct Atlantic and volcanic character. A perfect pairing!
- Ask at LOFT: Oh, and if you have any questions or want more recommendations, don’t hesitate to ask at LOFT. We’re always happy to share more great ideas!
