We wanted somewhere cheap and basic for a spot of lunch, and after checking the prices at Lin’s CafĂ© we decided to give it a go. Service was efficient, the place was clean enough and the selection on the menu typical Brit grub (which is what we wanted at the time). I had a coffee and a cheese / onion / tomato / lettuce baguette and my partner had sparkling mineral water with steak, chips and salad. The food was presented nicely and tasted ok – actually, my partner really loved his steak. The whole lot came to about 17 euros, which was reasonable.

Goose and Firkin, Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura (2013)...
Just needed a quick snack so I popped into this little restaurant and I was quite pleased that I did. Clean, with pleasant and efficient staff and a decent selection of snacks and basic meals. I paid 5.50 for a cheese and onion baguette with a white coffee, which filled me up and I thought was good value. Bread was fresh, onions crunchy and cheese was nice. Couldn’t really have asked for anything more of this place. I would certainly recommend it to others.
Wild West Restaurant, Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura (2013)...
Situated within a the small shopping centre next to the Barcelo Fuerteventura Thalasso Spa, this restaurant was really nice place for our first meal in Fuerteventura. It was 3pm so not too many other people about. Waiters were polite/pleasant. We ordered a sparkling mineral water @ 1.80, and a pineapple juice @ 2.00. I ate the jacket potato with home-made coleslaw and side salad @ 5.00 which was delicious and my partner ate the chicken kebab with rice, chips and salad. He said the rice was delicious and the meat cooked well although at 10.50 was a little expensive. I was too full for dessert but he had hot apple cake with ice cream @ 5.50, which he said was delicious.
All in all at just under 30 euros it wasn’t cheap but was tasty and the service was nice.
Fado Rock Restaurant, Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura (2013)...
This is a large, themed restaurant which caught our eye as we walked past one day so we decided to give it a go.
We ordered 2 sparkling mineral waters @ 2 euros each and the waitress brought us over some fresh bread with a garlic dip. This was very tasty and quite filling.
I ordered cheese and tomato pizza @ 6.50 euros while my partner had the t-bone steak with chips, salad and sauce @ 19.95 euros. The staff were polite and friendly, although in my opinion, service was a little on the slow side considering we were the only customers in there at 2pm on a Monday. Eventually our meals were ready and they were well worth waiting for. My thin crust large pizza was really nice and my partner said that his steak was absolutely delicious.
The bill came to 32.58 euros which was very reasonable considering the amount of food we’d eaten. The waiter brought us over 2 small shots of baileys to drink from tiny brandy glasses while paying the bill.
All in all this is a really good restaurant with great food and quirky surroundings.
Piero’s Restaurant and Music Bar, Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura (2013)...
We’d seen this bar (or set of bars) several times so decided to pop in for a snack lunch on the last day of our holiday. Wimbledon was being shown on various tv screens and although neither of us are sporty types we agreed we’d quite like to watch some of it.
We both had sparkling mineral water @ 1.50 euros each and I had a cheese and onion baguette (it wasn’t on the menu but they were happy to make it for me) @ 3.50euros while my partner chose the cheeseburger and chips @ 4.50 euros. My baguette had processed cheese and red onion, and was quite nice. My partner enjoyed his meal and then ordered 2 ice cream scoops @ 3 euros.
For a total of 14 euros it was a very reasonable price to pay for some tasty lunchtime snacks in a chilled out atmosphere.
Trafalgar Restaurant, Caleta de Fuste, Fuerteventura (2013)...
We were wandering around looking for somewhere for an afternoon snack when we saw the Trafalgar and decided that the prices were the best we’d seen so we should give it a go – and very glad we were too!
We sat outside under the parasols and were greeted by very friendly members of staff, who took our order; a filter coffee, an alcohol-free beer, a chicken baguette and a cheese baguette. A few minutes later it arrived, and oh my word… the baguettes were massive. However, in this instance quantity certainly didn’t make way for quality as both were utterly delicious (and more filling than a main meal).
The salad was fresh and crunchy and the baguettes tasted as if they’d just been baked and at only 3.50 each you simply couldn’t have asked for better value for money. Even though we were stuffed to the brim, 10 minutes later the thought of an ice cream in the Fuerteventura sunshine was too tempting, so we opted for a multi-scoop and 2 spoons. The mint-choc-chip tasted just like after eight mints, the chocolate had real bits of chocolate in it, the vanilla tasted extra creamy and the strawberry was sublime – underneath was a strawberry flavoured cream (yoghurt?)
My partner had another beer and when we asked for the bill we couldn’t believe it was only 14.50. We’ve never eaten anywhere that was such great value for money.
The Trafalgar is definitely somewhere we would eat again.
Footnote: We returned the next day and got great service and decent grub at unbelievably good prices again.
