La Cocina de Colacho is a gastronomic oasis located in Playa Blanca (Lanzarote) with a beautiful view of the mountain nearby.

The exterior, with its groundbreaking sort of industrial-style design, unique geometric shapes and a glass façade immediately captures the attention of the observer. Inside, the arts and painting of the ground floor make for a perfect decor from which to enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience from start to finish.

Behind the nickname “Colacho” is the chef Nicolas Machin, one of the rare chefs on the island to enjoy some kind of fame. Colacho concentrates in his kitchen, on the other side of the glass wall, while his wife Anabel plays Maître d’, welcomes the guests, serves the wines and the dishes prepared by her husband, all with energy and a huge smile to make the guests feel at home.

For our dinner on April 20th, 2021, Colacho was cooking alone for his ten guests, us included. We could see the impact of the Covid pandemic on the restaurant and on the chef’s morale: it must not be easy to cook by yourself without your usual staff, but Anabel manages to keep her smile and joy to wait on her guests.

Our dinner was à la carte. It was good, only good, with one dish standing out: the pork suckling that Littleboboon Junior had. We wish we could have discovered La Cocina de Colacho in other circumstances and enjoyed the chef’s full potential and talent, but with the Covid-19 crisis, everyone has to adapt to this difficult times : chefs, staffs, suppliers and customers alike.

We wish Colacho and his wife the best. We truly hope they will recover fully from this sad time and, most importantly, be able to welcome their customers back to enjoy the chef's cooking and Anabel’s warm smile.
