Good selection of tapas and raciones. Overall experience was good but TA doesnt allow that rating. It was better than average and so i have given them a very good rating but it was only good. Service was slow. Overall experience was ok for a cheap and cheerful lunch whilst travelling.

View of car parking was entertaining but not exactly pretty. Limited menu as we expected but we knew their fried fish had a big reputation so went for that. Thought it was ok only so I wouldn't rush back for food. Too greasy for my taste. To be fair they also do grilled fish which I haven't tried. I'm usually a fan of cheap cheerful but I also didn't think it was particularly good value for money which could have been its saving grace. If however you want a busy, noisy lunch with a spanish vibe then its worth a look see.

Admittedly we only had toasted sandwiches with chips and drinks but it was great to sit and soak up the atmosphere. The food that was coming out to the other tables looked tasty, I saw a man devour a chickpea stew. The price was cheap and there is free parking opposite.

It looks a bit scruffy from the outside, but it was very nearly full at nearly 4:00pm As far as I could tell, everyone else was local. There was a huge family party and a number of smaller groups. We started with a house salad (huge, tasty) and then had a mixed fish dish for two. It was the best we have tasted in Lanzarote (and far better than the food at the 5 star hotel where we were staying). In fact it was the ONLY place where we couldn't criticise any aspect of the food. The service was fast, friendly and informative. The atmosphere was noisy and fun. Although there was no problem with communication, it was the only place during our stay where the default language was Spanish rather than English, which was a very refreshing change. The price for two including drinks came to 52 euros a fantastic bargain considering the quality and size of the meal. Very highly recommended

The frontage still says Antigua Bar Ginory, and I asked the waitress if this was Bar Ginory, and she said it was, but I wonder I think the old one 's gone. We went because the guidebook and Tourist Info both recommended Ginory, but I wish we hadn 't. It was very busy and therefore had awful service, and the view was dreadful, compared to the lovely lagoon side restaurants round the corner. One of our dishes did, admittedly, include some very good fish, but that was served with indifferent calamari and hard Canarian potatoes. The other dish was an escalope with chips of the OK ish variety served in a Britalian restaurant in London and I don 't come to Lanzarote to eat fake Italian food. It was inexpensive, but not worth bothering with in a place that has so many lovely restaurants in it.
