La Cueva de LagOmar is a restaurant in Nazaret, set among volcanic rock caves and tunnels in the LagOmar complex, conceived by Lanzarote architect César Manrique and once owned by actor Omar Sharif. Mediterranean-inspired cooking, carefully presented dishes and a cocktail bar make it a dinner stop with more to explore than the menu. You can also dine outdoors on a terrace beside a lake, which is illuminated by candlelight at night. Come early enough to walk through the rock garden and caves before sitting down.
A restaurant set into volcanic rock
La Cueva de LagOmar sits within a complex carved into a volcanic quarry in Nazaret. The site was conceived by Lanzarote architect César Manrique and was once owned by actor Omar Sharif. Its caves, tunnels and rock garden give the restaurant an unusual setting to explore around a meal.
The restaurant serves Mediterranean-inspired cuisine. Dishes are presented with care, and the menu includes paella, steak and the LagOmar burger. The cocktail bar is another reason to stop, even if you are not planning a full dinner. Some signature drinks draw inspiration from the tales of One Thousand and One Nights.
Dinner beside the lake
Outdoor seating overlooks a lake that is lit by candlelight at night. That makes an evening meal a good fit for a celebration or a slower dinner. The restaurant is also used for weddings, so booking ahead is sensible, particularly if you are planning a special occasion.
For a fuller visit, leave time to walk through the rock garden, caves and tunnels before you sit down. If you mainly want to see the setting or try a cocktail, you can make a shorter stop instead of planning dinner.
What to order and check before you go
Paella and the LagOmar burger are two suggested choices, while steak is another dish associated with the restaurant. Cocktails are a draw in their own right, and the Mojito is listed among the drinks. Desserts are also available if you want to finish with something sweet.
Check the current menu and prices before your visit. A diner reported that prices on the menu differed from those shown on the restaurant’s website. Reservations are recommended, especially for busy periods and celebrations.
