Which is why we're sharing Lanzarote's top 6 best restaurants:

1. The Firemountain Restaurant: El Diablo

The Timanfaya National Park is one of the most popular excursions in Lanzarote. But a unique experience in the park is dining at El Diablo. Apart from its perfectly designed exteriors that feature glass walls giving diners a 360 view of the park, the way they cook food is what sets it apart. How? By grilling food on a pit that gets geothermal heat. Now, this is eating kebabs on a whole other level! You can get to the park by going on the South tour. Eating at El Diablo isn't included in the tour, but you will have a chance to diner there.
