The letter
The menu of Chiringuito Lobos Antoñito el Farero
This is the question most often asked by those who are going to spend the day on Isla de Lobos: what do you eat at the only restaurant on the islet?
Let's get to the honest answer first: there's no official menu or wine list with prices . What they do have are some classic dishes that the restaurant keeps, and a daily fish special that changes depending on what's available.
Even so, we can tell you how much it costs, how to pay, and how to get a table , which is what you really need to know before you board.
the short answer
Is there an official price list?
No. Chiringuito Lobos Antoñito el Farero does not publish a menu with prices , neither on its own website nor on social media. If you've come here looking for a PDF or a price list, it doesn't exist.
And there's a reason: much of what they serve depends on the fish that's been caught that day. A fixed menu wouldn't fit with how the place operates.
That you can take for granted
There's a core menu that remains the same, and that's what most people come to eat. You can find the details below.
What changes
The fish of the day is available, and with it, part of the menu. The most practical thing to do is ask upon arrival what's on that day.
The dishes
The most famous dishes of the house
Canarian cuisine, homemade and simple. These are the four dishes that keep people coming back, and that you'll almost always find:
Seafood paella
The house specialty. Made with fish and seafood, it's the most popular dish among those who arrive at the islet at midday after a walk.
Crumbled potatoes with mojo
The quintessential Canarian side dish. Small potatoes boiled in highly salted water, served with mojo sauce.
Fresh fish of the day
Captured in the area, so it changes depending on the day and season. That's why there's no fixed list: it depends on what's been caught.
Gofio mousse
The house's traditional dessert and, for many, the reason to save room. Gofio is one of the most iconic products of Canarian cuisine.
Prices and payment
How much does it cost to eat and how do you pay?
The other big question. Without a published menu there's no official price list, but there is a reasonable range to give you an idea before you go.
How much does a dish cost?
As a guide, dishes cost between €10 and €20 . This is a reference point, not a fixed price: the fish of the day is charged according to what's caught.
They accept card and mobile payment
Yes, you can pay with credit and debit cards — Visa and Mastercard — and also with your mobile phone.
Bring some cash too.
It's an isolated islet with no ATMs: data coverage or the card reader can occasionally fail. Spending a few extra euros will save you the hassle.
Regarding opening hours: the restaurant doesn't publish fixed kitchen hours, and those listed on external websites aren't always accurate. It's best to go around lunchtime and, in any case, plan your meal around your return ferry schedule.
The kitchen
What is Antoñito the Lighthouse Keeper's kitchen like?
It's best to adjust your expectations: this is a beach bar on a roadless island, not a restaurant with a long menu. And that's precisely its charm.
Homemade, short and simple
Few dishes, well prepared and without frills. That's how traditional Canarian cuisine works.
Product of the area
The fish is caught locally, and that dictates the daily menu more than any printed menu.
Why does it change depending on the day?
Everything served arrives on the island by boat or is caught by sea. Availability dictates the terms.
Get a table
Reservations not possible: how to get a table
This is the point that ruins the most plans. The restaurant doesn't take reservations : service is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Reservations are not accepted
Not by phone or online. Don't look for a booking form because there isn't one.
Take the first ferry
If eating here is part of your plan, the first boat of the morning gives you plenty of time. There may be a wait at midday during peak season.
Calculate the return boat
Eating at a leisurely pace and catching the ferry back doesn't always work. Check the timetable before you sit down, not after.
