€€Seafood
A restaurant with a simple rustic Menorcan atmosphere located in a building with whitewashed walls. Here you will find traditional cuisine specialising in rice dishes and stews, always focused on seafood and high-quality ingredients (don't miss their famous lobster stew). Interesting fact: For some of the more finger-licking dishes, they put a bib on you so that you don't stain your clothes.

Es Cranc in Fornells specializes in seafood with mixed reviews. Food quality is polarized; while some praise the lobster stew and paella, others report small portions, freshness issues, or cooking errors. Service varies significantly, ranging from friendly and efficient to disorganized regarding pacing and reservations. The atmosphere is casual, featuring air-conditioned indoor seating and a pleasant terrace. Value is debated; many find it reasonable, but several complaints cite poor cost-to-quality ratios and billing disputes.
Suitable for tourists seeking a casual seaside dining experience with high tolerance for variable seafood quality.
€€€Contemporary
This restaurant occupies a Menorcan-style country house with plenty of typical charm (including a delightful terrace) that has been converted into a small rural hotel. The cuisine here is based around an à la carte service (with specific sections dedicated to vegetables, seafood, rice dishes, pasta... and a special one, available upon reservation, where lobster is the star of the show) and a set menu (El Renacer) that focuses on local cuisine that constantly plays with technique and local products, with a variety of Mediterranean touches. The estate has its own organic vegetable garden, olive
€€Contemporary, Farm to table
This restaurant occupies a typical 200-year-old house on the approach to Es Migjorn Gran in the centre of the island. It features an interior with a rustic-contemporary feel, plus an attractive patio-terrace that can only be booked for dinner. Here, the culinary focus is on simple, honest cooking with interesting French-inspired touches and dishes based around the best market-fresh local ingredients. We can highly recommended the surf and turf carpaccio with scallops, which comes as a pleasant surprise!
