Food & Drink:
The cuisine in Menorca is essentially Mediterranean, and you will find a wide range of classic Spanish dishes as well as local specialities.

In Mahon, Ciutadella and the inland towns, lunch is served from around 1pm, dinner from 8pm, although most people arrive much later than this.

Many restaurants offer a menu del dia (menu of the day), a set three-course meal with wine and bread included in the price. These can be excellent value although the choice of dish can be limited.

Popular main courses include stews, charcoal grills, roast suckling pig (asados de lechona) and shoulder of lamb.

Menorcan dishes, pride of place must go to fresh seafood and fish. Prawns and mussels feature on most menus, while squid, swordfish and sole are widely available. Other seafood delights include tuna with mayonnaise, stuffed squid, baked cuttlefish and peix al forn amb patatas - oven baked fish with potatoes.

If you hanker for a taste of home, there are quite a lot of English pubs. Two of the best are to be found in Sant Climent, which has a small British community.

Menorca is also famouse for its range of cheeses. Mahón is a traditional semi-soft cheese, produced from cow's milk on Minorca, the outermost of the three Balearic Islands. The city of Mahón is the major town on this small agricultural island.
Traditionally, to produce Mahón cheese, the curd is placed in the center of a cloth. The corners of the cloth are then knotted and twisted together, which gives the cheese its typical "cushion" shape. It then matures in the cloth for several days.
