Lanzarote Restaurant Review, Emmax | Lanzarote Information
Earlier this month we wanted to treat ourselves to a nice lunch at a good restaurant and Emmax came to mind. We parked without any difficulty close to the promenade in Playa Honda even though the weekly Saturday rastro market had just finished, we were in luck there was a table available in the shade on the terrace.
Because Emmax have a daily specials board you can be sure of a tempting selection of different dishes each time you visit depending upon what?s fresh and in season. This restaurant is owned by Max and Mortiz, they specialise in Italian cuisine with an Asian fusion, there is always homemade pasta, fresh fish, meat and vegetarian options on their menu.

Miguel ordered tagliatelle with beef strips and decided on the mustard sauce from the options given, I asked for the pork fillet wellington style with mushrooms and truffle oil. Two seeded rolls and a homemade dill sauce were brought out to the table along with our drinks.

There is a fabulous view from the terrace at Emmax, the sea is just a few metres away, there are lots of people passing by as well as the planes landing and taking off from Arrecife airport in the distance. We watched the last stall holder from the second hand market pack his goods back into his van with not an inch to spare, then our food arrived.
I was served a full pork fillet which had been rolled with mushrooms into the pastry casing, this was cut into two and served on a bed of ratatouille, it was cooked to perfection and simply stunning. Miguel said that his dish had been beautifully cooked, there was a surprising amount of beef which was very tender and the mustard sauce gave the pasta a spicy kick.
Sadly faultless food was marred by poor service, something I was not expecting from Emmax. As the food arrived we asked for a second drink which was never brought to the table. We waited some 20 minutes after requesting the bill and had to go inside to remind the waiter who did apologetically say he?d forgotten us.
Price wise, the main dishes were ?14 each, I thought the drinks were reasonable at ?1.50 ? ?2.00 for a coca cola, water and coffee and we weren?t charged for the missing drink. There was a charge for the bread of ?2 and we received a chupito of our choice with the bill.
Still one of my favourite restaurants in Lanzarote and we?ll be back for more fabulous food in Playa Honda.
