The Most Romantic Restaurants in Menorca
The island of Menorca is well known for its bucolic landscape, peaceful atmosphere and relaxed pace of life, making it a wonderful holiday destination for loved-up couples. And with a dining scene that is recognised as particularly outstanding, it makes for a great choice of restaurants that are guaranteed to help set the mood for romance. Here’s a selection of our favourites.
1. Fuego at Hotel Can Faustino
Boutique Hotel Restaurant, Mediterranean
Enjoy exquisitely presented Mediterranean cuisine in the beautiful courtyard garden of the historic Hotel Can Faustino. The hotel itself is located in a beautifully restored 16th-century palacio in the heart of Ciutadella. Fuego’s menu has a heavy emphasis on seafood and meat dishes, with much of the produce used being sourced locally. Whilst not cheap, the prices are not exorbitant, the food is great and the stunning setting feels particularly romantic, whether you are lunching in the dappled sunshine or enjoying a candlelit dinner.
2. Pizzeria Sa Barrera
Pizzeria, Italian
Part of the flamboyant and extravagantly decorated Sa Barrera Hotel in the resort of Cala En Porter, this pizzeria is open only in the evenings and offers an Italian-inspired menu of freshly made pasta and quality pizza. The food is excellent, if a little expensive, and the candlelit terrace with views over the picturesque cove is particularly romantic.
3. Jardí de ses Bruixes
Boutique Hotel Restaurant, Fusion, Mediterranean, Asian
The hotel Jardí de Ses Bruixes, in the heart of Mahón, views food as a key player in the service it offers, and serves breakfasts, afternoon teas and dinners for guests and non-guests. Meals take place in the stunning Art Nouveau dining room or in the courtyard, which is dotted with orange trees and has cut-glass chandeliers cleverly suspended from discreet wires above. In the evening, romance is definitely in the air, and the already picturesque courtyard is filled with candles and lanterns. The menu emphasises local ingredients and fusion-style cooking, combining Mediterranean, Asian and Menorcan flavours.
5. Pan y Vino
Restaurant, Mediterranean, Fusion, French, Spanish
6. Smoix
Restaurant, Mediterranean
Recognised by the Michelin Guide for its particularly flavoursome food, the contemporary Menorcan cooking at Smoix is prepared using seasonal, local produce with an emphasis on meat and fish dishes. Everything is beautifully fresh and the presentation immaculate – the langoustine ravioli and the cod loins come highly recommended. A pretty garden and courtyard also make it a popular destination for romantic dining by candlelight.
7. Es Forn de Torre Solí Nou
Restaurant, Spanish
