Restaurant Cafè Balear

In my top 3 go-to restaurant in Menorca: exceptional tapas, especially the delicious tuna and incredibly fresh and perfectly cooked razor clams and clams.

The standout was the lobster stew, highly recommended!

The service was great. Everyone very nice and helpfull. Asked only for “snacks”, and it was amazing. Jamon ibérico, picherones (panned squid) and delicious scalops “zamburiñas”. Amazing, really. So much happiness on that table :))
I really recommend. I believe you pay the price accordingly

The Best caldereta I have had in Menora, worth every penny, absolutely superb. Waiters very attentive and beautiful restaurant.

The food here was exquisite. It was the best meal we had in Menorca and the food was delicious. Super fresh and well priced. The service was also top notch, with all waiters being incredibly polite and recommending great dishes. Would 100% return again!

Very nice and great dinner at the restaurant! We made a reservation and could sit at a table inside the restaurant, by the window and overlooking the port. There are also some tables in the back courtyard.
Service was impeccably mastered.

I would recommend a reservation for inside, as there are quite some waiting lines to sit outdoors on the harbour in summertime (where it is first come, first served)

We went here for The Wife's birthday celebration. Plenty of good food.

Alongside the river in a quiet area. We sat outside (reservations are only for inside) - outdoors is first come first serve. We enjoyed the food, the ambiance and the wine! I found most of the bottles of wine are around $22-35! We ordered only starters as we were full from our complimentary breakfast at Faustino Gran - swordfish tartar, razor clams, octopus…the pistachio ice cream is the best I’ve ever had and actually tastes like and made of real pistachios!

An amazing experience! The staff was really nice and the food is really good. The seafood was super fresh, the scallops were simply AMAZING. Everything we had was really good and the price seems reasonable for what you’re eating. Definitely recommend it!

From all the place that we tried in Ciutadella, this is our favourite. We went here after 9pm and there was a waiting line. the service was good and as well the dishes we ordered. Here is where I had my first Tinto de verano and fell in love with it. (It's a mix of wine and lemon soda)

Amazing waterfront views. Very high quality seafood, our favourite was the arroz caldosa & the local prawns. Service was excellent too. So glad we had a opportunity to dine here.

Went here for a tasty & romantic dinner and that's exactly what we got.
We tried a seafood paella with local white wine plus starters. Wine was well recommend by the waiter, service was professional. Location is on the end of the port wlfull of smaller boats, we had a nice view on the illuminated historical buildings in the city center.

Food: starters were good (menorcan typical bread with tomatoes and padrón peppers), but the seafood paella exceeded expectations! It was creamy as it should be, taste was well balanced so we didn't have to add anything. Full of seafood, portion for 2 would suffice 3 adults.

The only negative point was a long waiting for the bill.

I definitely recommend this place.

Had a fantastic dinner.
Josep took a very good care of us recommending the best suitable dishes for us.
We had ses escopinyes from Menorca which are truly unique and delicious.
We had a special of the day tataki de bogavante and salpicón de marisco. We also had the ‘must have’ Menorcan red prawn.
To ended up the dinner with a mind blowing lobster with onion “langosta encebollada” the flavors really take you home.
We paired our dinner with a recommended Menorcan white wine.
A M a Z I n G!
My go to place every time I come back to Menorca.
Service and location amazing too.

In my opinion best outdoor seating area. Arguably the best views in Ciudadella. Top notch quality. Good service, excellent decoration and squeaky clean bathrooms. The only downside, tomatoes were of poor quality in the salad we ordered.

Rightfully known as one of the best places to eat in town, do come at 8ish if you want to beat the long queue that quickly develops.

We enjoyed both the monkfish and swordfish carpaccio ( latter being one of the best dishes on our 5 days here), the croquettes and the delicate scallops. Restaurant tells everyone about their boat that brings fresh catch every day and you can tell from the quality of fish.
The apple and calvados dessert felt home made and went with my cortado perfectly. We’ll visit again tomorrow before going home.

Paella and carpaccio were amazing. We sit outside so the view was great as well.

In order to get a table you have to get there before 20:00 I would say that around 19:45 would be ok if you are a small group.
We had the navajas , tomato with burrata , clams and the cuttlefish fideua.
Fideua was excellent! I could come back for another one.
Tomato with burrata … ok
Clams … good
Navajas really good

This is the best restaurant in all Menorca, the food is amazing and the price is correct. They know their cellar, really good wines at the right price. Let them recommend you what to drink with your chosen food. Amazing desserts. Do not hesitate go to Cafe Balear.

Come here if you are in a mood for a pleasant, more fancier kind of dinner in the ciutadella. The food is really good and the price is fair. We had the razor clams and lobster with fried eggs and fries, 2 glasses of wine, water and bread. The price was 130€ for everything, the lobster was 0,7kg and 103€. The staff was nice. Be sure to get a table outside if possible.

A classic in Menorca, they have a boat and the fish comes from whatever they get from the sea. We had an amazing experience and the service was really good.

Extremely attentive service with a smile. Great location and fantastic food.
We'll be back.
