Culinary Delights of Menorca – Son Bou Served Up



There are many culinary delights on offer for anyone heading to Menorca. Son Bou is an ideal location to get to grips with Menorcan cuisine, and when you head here you will be spoilt for choice with all the food on offer.
Menorcan food comprises a whole host of fresh ingredients and styles that create something truly original and delicious. Seafood and fresh vegetables make up the staple diet, and Spanish, Catalan, French and even English styles are all included in the mix.
Indeed, apart from the sun, the sea and the attractions, this is one of the main pleasures for anyone heading to Menorca. Son Bou holidays provide you with all this and more, so here are some suggestions for meals that you should definitely try in the restaurants of Son Bou.
Sea Food
If you are a fan of seafood then it won’t be long before you sink your teeth into a delicious ‘caldereta de llagosta’ during your holiday in Menorca. Son Bou is a great place to try this tasty lobster stew, which is one of the main specialities of the island.
For other fish dishes you won’t be able to go far without coming across a paella, with ‘fideua’, consisting of seafood and noodles, being one of the favourite types. Another traditional fish dish is ‘serviola a la mallorquina’, consisting of baked fish with tomato sauce. There are also lots of other dishes containing shellfish, sole, squid, sardines, prawns, monkfish and many more to try.
Cheese
Another favourite ingredient in Menorca is cheese. Cheese has been produced on the island for centuries, and has even won a number of awards. The round Mahon cheese is found in many places in Menorca, Son Bou included, and is one of the most popular types.
Tapas
The strong Spanish influence in Menorca means that you can expect to find a number of gastronomic delights on the island that are also found in Spain. For this reason tapas is found all over Menorca. Son Bou bars and restaurants have lots of options when it comes to finding good tapas, and you will be able to eat small snacks consisting of seafood, mushrooms, tripe, meatballs, olives, cheese and much more.
Meat
Meat-heavy sausages, delicious stuffed aubergines from the island’s Moorish heritage and roast lamb are all popular main dishes that will get your mouth watering on your trip to Menorca. Son Bou is the ideal place to try all of them.
Deserts
When it comes to deserts, those with a sweet tooth will find many delicious things on offer in Menorca. Son Bou provides a whole host of pastries, with ‘ensaimada’ perhaps the most well known, as well as numerous different-flavoured ice-creams.
Gin
After you’ve eaten your fill, you’re going to need something to wash it all down with, which is where Gin Xoriguer comes in. Menorca has a long history of gin production, and Xoriguer is the last gin distillery that remains on the island. Different from English gin, it has a unique taste and you’ll probably find yourself drinking a few of these as you relax in a quiet restaurant overlooking the sea.
