El Toro Restaurants

1. Es Molí d'es Racó

A great place for a lunch of typical local cuisine, this restaurant is in an old windmill at the west end of Es Mercadal, on the ME1 about halfway between Mahón and Ciutadella and roughly 4 km (2½ miles) from El Toro. Menorcan specialties include squid stuffed with anglerfish and shrimp, and chicken with centollo (spider crab). It has fortress-grade, whitewashed stone walls and low vaulted ceilings, and a constant air of cheerful bustle that pulls in locals and visitors alike. On warm summer days, arrive early to claim a table on the terrace. The sopa menorquina is excellent.
