Pelicano Restaurant

We had the most honest and polite service. We were hungry and were quite indecisive where to have a small bite to eat. The terrace of the Pelicano appealed to us and we decided to have a tapas at a small low table. We were served quickly and friendly. While serving us the waitress had a little accident. She was very attentive. We were not charged anything in the end. The sangria was enjoyed much, the antipasto plate and papas arugadas were a bit less fine. We notice that most things here are aimed at (English) tourists, not quite our thing. Puerto Calero seemed to lack a bit of authenticity. Nevertheless a positive experience.

Had prawns and calamari tapas on recommendation at this ultra chilled pleasant quayside eatery. Hearty, flavourful and delicious food(homemade chips are to die for!). Summery music drifts in and out in the background, as do the helpful, friendly unobtrusive staff. Recommended.

Puerto con amarres para barcos y Veleros por excelencia de la isla de Lanzarote Es el puerto más exclusivo de la isla Buen sitio para dar un paseo y tomar algo en los bares y restaurantes del puerto Hay también tiendas de marcas exclusivas

Great place to stop for a bite to eat and a drink. Only had garlic bread (which wasn't on the menu but the staff catered for us) and it was lovely. All the meals I saw brought to other customers looked superb. Staff were friendly and hospitable. The kitchen area was open to see (so not hiding anything).

Disappointing. Having decided to take a last minute Christmas break to Puerto Calero, I'd started looking ahead of arriving for places to eat on Christmas Day (panicking, thinking that they'd all be booked up!). After reading the positive reviews, we chose Pelicano. It was easy to book via WhatsApp, albeit the response was a little curt. I should have taken this as a sign... the meal was average, and at €60 per head, to be honest we'd expected more. We were disappointed with the lack of 'warmth' that we were greeted with and the service throughout. Not once were we wished Merry Christmas or actually thanked when paying the bill for the 5 of us of over €340. It was a lot of money, which we were prepared to pay as we appreciate the staff that are working on Christmas Day, but it just wasn't worth it and was the only disappointment in an otherwise perfect stay at Puerto Calero.

*2024 update* "Went past today and closed...... Give up and let a proper operator bring another good business to calero" To call this place a restaurant is probably the biggest overstatement of Puerto Caleros history. We as a family who visit several times a year, want every business to succeed. However, the "owner" is nothing short of evil... Think Cruela times 10... Staff work hard but she is obnoxious and condecending.... Several times over our visits she was nothing short of a drunken bully... If she sold as much wine as she drinks, the place would be booming... Seen supermarket bags several times from other parts of our lovely puerto calero... . Weird they are so quiet, but i guess they can't afford a supplier minimum delivery .... Its a real shame as the staff seem lovely.... This entity has no idea of customer service or taking care of her team... If visiting the port... Do yourselves a favour and visit somewhere else... Many better offers in the port.

Pues no nos dejaron apenas ni colocar el bolso y nos informaron de que, todavía de día, no nos servían café porque no había más personal (habiendo seis mesas libres en la terraza). Podemos entender algunas razones de organización u ocupación de mesas que puedan estar destinadas a cenas, pero TODAS las mesas que estaban ocupadas en la terraza, sólo tenían algún refresco o cerveza,nada de cenas.. por cierto, "nos mandó" al local de en frente a tomar café,el cual estaba cerrado. Yo también he sido hostelera y le aconsejaría que dejara que la gente se sentara, comenzara por un café/refresco/cerveza y acabe comiendo algún plato de la carta. Una pena, no volveremos para probarlos. Gracias

Un despropósito. No saben español. Y no saben lo que te ofrecen, ni lo que tienen, ni nada!!! FATAL!!! Cuidado con lo que pides: como no sabe español , decide traerte el vino más caro de la carta: 9€ una copa de vino blanco!!!!!!!! Si no eres inglés, NO VAYAS!!! Ah, y yo no he pedido un vino de Lanzarote, yo he pedido un vino blanco, he preguntado de donde era el vino, y como no hablas bien español, no te has enterado de la pregunta y has pensado que hablaba del tipo de vino… primero aprende español y después trabaja de cara al público. No sabes lo que pedido…. No hay más que añadir.

Me parece una vergüenza que alguien venga a montar un negocio en Lanzarote y no sepa ni pedir la comanda en español ni la dueña ni sus empleados. Que falta de respeto.

Me parece algo abusivo cobrar 3,85 euros por un refresco. Obviamente no volveré.
