(Menorca) Racó d'es Palau ★★★★★

Carrer des Palau, 3, 07760 Ciutadella de Menorca, Illes Balears, Spain 

  • A hidden gem on a quiet little street. Loved the paella and mussels. Most of the staff were friendly.

Mediterranean taset for the first meal in Ciutadella.


This Cathedral is in the center of the town and vecry close from our hotel, so we always passed by this road.


The restaurant is hidden deep in a little street.


Is that it?


Here we are. It's 16:10 and we were the only guests at the moment.




They have Sangria!



Sangrias De Vino 4.1 x2

According to ChatGPT:
  • 🍷 Sangría de vino
    • The classic sangría most people know.
    • Base: red wine (though white wine versions exist).
    • Mixed with: chopped fruit (orange, apple, peach, etc.), sugar or syrup, brandy or liqueur, and soda (lemon, orange, or sparkling water).
    • Flavor: fuller, deeper, a bit heavier thanks to the red wine.
  • 🥂 Sangría de cava
    • A variation made with cava (Spanish sparkling wine).
    • Origin: Catalonia (since cava is from Penedès, near Barcelona).
    • Mixed with: lighter fruits (berries, citrus, pineapple), sometimes a dash of liqueur, plus extra bubbles from cava.
    • Flavor: lighter, fresher, more refreshing — great for summer.
  • 👉 In short:
    • Sangría de vino = red wine base, richer.
    • Sangría de cava = sparkling cava base, lighter and more festive.

Mejillones de roca de Menorca a la marinera (20 unidades) 13.9
Menorcan mussels in marinara sauce (20 units)

The sauce was unique and good. It felt like Korean Doenjang somehow.

Paella mixta 22.5 x2

Even in Spain, you can easily find Paella with poor quality, but this was apparently not. The quantity was also more than enough.



I just couldn't finish the rice.


All the staff were friendly, except for the girl who took our order.
