Seafood doesn't get much fresher than here, as the owners' boat docks nearby every day except Sunday. The relaxed atmosphere welcomes either a quick bite or a complete dining experience. The house specialty, arroz caldoso de langosta (lobster and rice stew), is very impressive, as is the carpaccio d'emperador (thin slices of swordfish marinated in lemon, salt, and olive oil), cigalas (crayfish), lobster with onion, and grilled navajas (razor clams).
At the foot of the steps that lead down to the port, this iconic restaurant has a café--terrace out front that's perfect for people-watching, drinks, and tapas. Fresh seafood is a sure bet: try the local John Dory, baked, grilled, or fried with garlic—or splurge on the caldereta (€56 per person). The wine list is impressive, with local labels and rich reds from Priorat, Montsant, La Rioja, and Ribera del Duero.
Creative, contemporary Menorcan cuisine is the draw in this former jewelry workshop, which has a small, leafy courtyard and a low-key cosmopolitan vibe. Start things with a local gin and choose from a monthly updated menu showcasing regional flavors with artful flair.
