Top Local Dishes to Enjoy on Menorca Holidays

No holiday is a success without expertly prepared food and the opportunity to experience new flavours in tasty local dishes. The unique Menorcan gastronomy is famous throughout the world, and one of the major attractions for those who return to the island many times.
Original
You may think you know Spanish cuisine, but Menorcan traditional dishes are completely original and different - and full of exciting new blends, contrasts and surprises! Since the middle ages, a number of different cultures have occupied Menorca including the Moors and the peoples of ancient Cataluna. Menorca holidays introduce you to a deliciously different cuisine; a blend of Arab and Catalan cuisine enhanced by a touch of French sophistication!
Crunchy clams
'Escupinyas' are clams served like oysters with lemon, or baked in a crunchy, savoury mixture of breadcrumbs, garlic and parsley. 'Peus de cabrit' are actually 'goose barnacles' and 'cornets' are 'sea snails' served with garlic butter in the French way, like 'escargots' snails.
