Cafes and Delis in Menorca

The Spanish drink lots of coffee and coffee ordered in a bar or restaurant is always excellent, but can be very strong. It also often has traces of chicory, so has a different taste to Italian coffee. If you can’t handle the caffeine, order a descafeinado de maquina (decaffeinated ground coffee) or descafeinado de sobre (a sachet of decaffeinated instant coffee) served with either hot water or milk (con leche) on request.

 

Menorcan supermarkets do not offer the vast range of prepared meals found in the UK and in recent years little shops have been opening up specializing in pre-prepared meals, ‘Plats Preparat’. If you don’t fancy cooking or going out, these can be great value to take back to your holiday home to enjoy there. The food will be freshly cooked (rotisserie chickens are delicious) or homemade and you will probably see the kitchen from the counter. Some places may offer a range of pre-prepared courses as well as a daily special, often complete with potatoes and vegetables.

Three floors of dining space include a terrace with an exceptional vantage point over the historical rooftops of the historical town. The minimalist interior at Ses Voltes is chic and pleasantly contradicts that of the authentic Menorcan façade.
