The restaurants of the Centers for Art, Culture and Tourism have earned between January and July of this year nearly 145,000 euros more than during the same period last year, which is equivalent to a increase of 3.2%, until almost reaching 4.5 million euros of collection.
The largest increases occurred in the restaurant of the Castillo de San José, where revenues rose 15.06%, as well as in the bar of Islote de Fermina, where they grew 14.64%.
The Entity's counselor, Ángel Vázquez, highlighted that the restaurant of the Castillo de San José, is “the first on which we apply our roadmap”. A transformation process of the restoration service initiated after last summer.
“It has been long and, at times, complex, but we are beginning to reap the rewards of the work done to make the restaurants of the Tourist Centers become the flag of Lanzarote's gastronomy”, he specified.
For the counselor, these figures are “the result of a management model that bets on the quality of the raw material of proximity, rigor and criteria in purchases, the creativity and enthusiasm of our kitchen and dining room professionals and the desire to surprise our customers”.
The third and fourth largest increases in revenue occurred in the Picasso Bar of El Almacén and in the restaurant of Jardín de Cactus, whose revenues have increased by 10.8% and 7.6% respectively.
Both in the restaurant of Monumento al Campesino and in the Mirador del Río, revenues increased by 3%.
The only restaurant where revenues fall is Jameos del Agua. There, 7% less has been collected, a decrease that the Centers attribute to the fact that they are in the process of renewing the "Noche de Jameos", which has not been available in recent months.
