Ciutadella


A pinch of creativity spices up the contemporary-Menorcan cooking at this fashionable restaurant with industrial-chic touches and a sunken courtyard. You might begin with, say, potato, onion and sea-urchin scramble, followed by cod-loin tataki with tomatoes and roasted jalapeño chili peppers. The food is fresh and local, the ambience low-key and romantic, and there's a good-value three-course set lunch (€21).
