El Lajar de Bello

Canarian roots, shaped by a chef

In Playa de las Américas, El Lajar de Bello draws its character from chef Alejandro Bello’s long relationship with Canarian cooking. His path began in his family’s bar and grew into a restaurant career built around preserving the roots of a dish while giving it a distinct finish. Bello’s official biography notes a 2015 Qué Bueno Canarias award for Best Canarian Cuisine, described as traditional and modern.

The restaurant’s menu pairs local producers and island ingredients with carefully prepared seafood and rice dishes. That makes El Lajar a choice for diners looking beyond a quick resort meal: the appeal is a composed, sit-down experience in which regional flavors remain recognizable even as the kitchen gives them a more polished presentation. The restaurant encourages reservations, fitting the deliberate pace of the meal it sets out to offer.
