Tips for eating in Fuerteventura
Corralejo is the food hub. The north of the island has the most concentrated selection of good restaurants. If you are staying in the south, it is worth a drive up.
Fresh fish over frozen. Ask if the fish is fresh or frozen — the best places will tell you immediately. Daily catch restaurants near the coast are always the safest bet.
Book ahead everywhere. Fuerteventura’s best restaurants are small and fill up quickly, especially in summer. Always call at least a day ahead.
Try the goat cheese. Fuerteventura is famous for its majorero cheese — order it fried or grilled wherever you see it on the menu.
