Delicious dinner, entirely worthy of its Michelin Bib Gourmand distinction.
The croquettes are definitely worth a try for starters, especially given their price.
For the main course, both the fish and meat were just as delicious so you can’t go wrong with either.
The chocolate deserts were, once again, delicious.
And of course, the « by the glass » wine selection was 😘👌

I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fine dining experience in Ciutadella!

We got the time mixed up and arrived 15 minutes late to our lunch reservation, we called to explain and the staff were very accommodating.
From the first mouthful to the last we enjoyed every bite. The wine recommendations given to us by the staff were also en point.
One more noteworthy point was that we were two people and the staff asked if we intended to share dishes that we had ordered, when we said that we did, they then brought each dish divided on to two plates and presented beautifully! We were so happy with our meal and hope to visit again next time we are in Menorca - it was a real treat!

Wow !  My wife & I had the pleasure of dining with you a few days ago.

We loved all the food but found the Ravioli especially outstanding.  In fact the best dish we have ever had anywhere and we have eaten all over the world, and own a restaurant here in menorca.

Lovely staff, great menu & superb ambiance.

Had the honour to meet the owner who is also the head chef.  This would explain the passion & love he puts into every dish.

We were not that hungry when we arrived having had a large breakfast at Vestige Son Vell, but we simply could not stop eating !!!

We will return .... and soon !!!!
