  • Eiscafe Magdalena

    3 min walk

    Ice-cream café and coffee · €

    A small ice-cream café a few minutes from the hotel, on the way down to the promenade, for a coffee once the hotel breakfast has closed at 10.30am, or an ice cream on the way back from the beach in the afternoon. It is the easy stop between the sand and the room rather than a destination, and it is cheap. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm; closed Monday. No booking.

  • El Rayón

    5 min walk

    Beach bar on the sand · €€

    A beach bar on the sand of Playa del Matorral, just below the hotel, and the simplest answer to lunch, which half board leaves out. It serves fish and seafood and stays open through the beach day, so it suits a plate of fish, a salad or a cold drink between swims rather than dinner. Open every day, 10am to 6pm. No booking: walk along the promenade from the hotel's steps and find it on the beach.

  • Vino con Dolores

    4 min by car

    Tapas and wine bar · €€

    A tapas and wine bar upstairs in a shopping centre on Avenida del Saladar, for an evening of plates to share and a bottle. Start with the Spanish classics, a tortilla española at €12, gambas al ajillo at €12.50, huevos rotos with Iberian ham at €12.50 and homemade croquettes at €8, then the newer brioches, such as pulled rib with kimchi mayonnaise at €9.50. Open from 6pm to 11.30pm on Monday and Thursday to Sunday; closed Tuesday and Wednesday. It is 19 minutes east on foot. Book ahead.

  • La Farola del Mar

    7 min by car

    Fish restaurant with a sea-view terrace · €€

    A fish restaurant on the seafront at the start of the town, serving fish caught off Morro Jable every day, with good wines and a view of the sea. Its terrace is covered and sheltered from the wind, so it works on breezy evenings too. Ask for the fish of the day. It is also an easy 12 minutes west along the promenade on foot. Open every day, noon to 10pm, with no closing day; book online, and a card is needed to hold a table for four or more.

  • Restaurante Cofradía de Pescadores de Morro Jable

    8 min by car

    Fishermen's guild restaurant on the quay · €€

    The fishermen's guild restaurant on the fishing quay at Morro Jable harbour, where Morro Jable's boats land their catch, and the place to eat fish as the town does. Ask what came in that day and have it grilled, with Canarian wrinkled potatoes and mojo. Prices are modest. Open Thursday to Monday, 8.30am to 10pm; closed Tuesday and Wednesday. It is 23 minutes' walk west along the front, so most guests take a taxi or the car.
