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.

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.
