The Hannover Café

Café Hannover, Puerto del Carmen, LanzaroteWord about our visit to Lanzarote had spread as we walked passed the Hannover Café near Fariones Hotel (behind Burger King), as we were asked to review them!

The café is under new management and is offering a Full English Breakfast for just €3, consisting of bacon, sausage, egg, tomatoes, beans, mushrooms, chips or hash brown, and toast with butter and jam.

For those staying in Fariones the café comes with the advantage of being within reach of the hotel’s WiFi.

It certainly got me thinking.  Many people had turned up in casual dress, and others were wearing a suit with a waistcoat, but without a tie.  During the rest of the day I observed that most of the people in the hall with a tie were actually working on one of the stands.

On reflection, it’s a trend that has been going on for some time. [Read more…]
