Café Balear

Ciutadella


Down by the water, this 1970s old-timer remains one of Ciutadella’s classic seafood stops, and there's often a queue for tables. You can eat outside on the quayside while tucking into local prawns, grilled navajas (razor clams), caldereta de llagosta (Menorcan lobster stew), arròs caldoso (creamy seafood rice) or fresh fish, caught from Café Balear’s own boat.
