In Menorca, you can savor delicious cuisine

Menorca has a gastronomic past, present, and future. Its cuisine is one of the reasons to visit and fully enjoy the island. The legacy of typically Menorcan recipes, passed down through generations, highlights the richness of local products and how they create dishes that are part of popular culture. From a simple savory coca with local vegetables to Mahón-Menorca cheese with protected designation of origin, sobrassada, cuixot, or can-i-xulla, Menorca offers many delights that tantalize our taste buds.


Menorca’s cuisine also includes its sauces, starting with mayonnaise; soups like "oliaigo"; calderetas; rice dishes; seafood from the Mediterranean waters; honey, which has won many awards; salt; oil; and a long list of delicious sweets and desserts. Among these, the "coca bamba," "pastissets," and "amargos" are particularly noteworthy.


The traditional recipe book is filled with English and French influences that have found their place in contemporary cuisine. As a land of wines, craft beers, and its iconic gin, Menorca presents an intriguing array of wineries, bars, and restaurants, including those with gourmet cuisine, where the landscape becomes a memorable part of your experience.


Respect for tradition, creativity, and local products (originating from Menorca) converge in a Menorca that rightly asserts itself as a gastronomic destination.
