El Diablo, the Restaurant That Cooks Food Over an Active Volcano

If you’re ever on the Spanish island of Lanzarote, northwest of Morocco, you can swing by the El Diablo restaurant and grab some food that was cooked by an active volcano. OK, well, the volcano itself doesn’t have arms and fingers, but the chefs at the restaurant use the heat produced by the active volcano to heat the food.

Even more clarification, the volcano isn’t the lava-spewing mountainous type you’d think of…that would be such an uneasy dining experience. Instead, El Diablo serves as a unique dining experience where the chefs have access to an awesome hole in the ground, through which volcanic heat eminates from the depths of the Earth. The restaurant’s history dates back to 1970, when Cesar Manrique decided it was time to create a formal restaurant in the area.

A blogger from OddityCentral notes the breathtaking views the restaurant has of the island’s barren landscape. Looks like another restaurant I can add to the bucket list.

Anyone else in?
