El Romero - Restaurante

We had a lovely experience here! Certified gluten-free, this is a must for anyone that loves fancy dining and is gluten-free. Dairyfree adjustments weren’t any problem either. The service was lovely, the atmosphere relaxed and quiet, the food was delicious and beautiful and we absolutely love the eco concept and the many organic ingredients. We came for lunch and would certainly come back for dinner!

Amazing cuisine by the loveliest Italian couple from Bologna made with locally sourced ingredients. A definite must if you're visiting Menorca.

The place is nice and have a elegant and cool atmosphere, relaxing and chilled. Perfect environment to enjoy the conversation at the table. The food is just so-so. My monkfish was slightly undercooked, bland and the side was so simple and not well-thought (4/10), the octopus was really good and well served (7.5/10), the mackerel was salty (5.5/10) and the starter (gazpacho) was good but lacked visual preparation (6/10). The services was okay, but the owner charged us 4.5 euros for tap water (claiming they have a filtering system), but it is tap water in the end and Mahon’s tap water is not drinkable, and she argued with us quite rudely, which was wrong and extremely unprofessional because it was our feedback. The wine menu lacks some quality and it is overprice for the below average wines they have. The presentation of the dishes was nice, and the desert was good too.

Beautiful evening at El Romero in Mahon. The squid and tomato starter was so tender and the local Scorpion fish was equally fabulous. The staff are friendly, discrete and very helpful and helped us choose the gorgeus local wine. Highly recommend and hope to be back again.

We ate a spectacular dinner at El Romero tonight. Food, wines and service were all exceptional. Very refined and creative cuisine of the highest quality. Highly recommended.

Most refined food in Menorca! This was the most refined and délicate to attention restaurant we have tried on the island. An inventif and original menu, with delicious locally sourced products. You will be as happy from the food as from the caring service from the owner and her sommelier husband.

The restaurant is in a lovely location in an old building, and is basically a fish restaurant. The decor is beautiful - really modern but exciting. Staff were lovely and very well-informed. We started with an Amuse-Bouche which was a nice touch. We shared a starter of cannoli which were delicious. My husband had the scallops which were amazing, served with little parcels of beetroot and artichoke. I had fish of the day which I selected Scorpionfish. The fish was ok but the rest of the dish was just … boring!! Especially when compared with scallops (my second choice would have been the monkfish and I wish I’d gone with that as it looked much more interesting!) Lovely touch to have a Choc truffle at the end of the meal! Would I go back? Not sure - it’s on the pricey side, and I have to say I was disappointed with my meal.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience here was deeply disappointing. I honestly do not understand how this restaurant is recommended by Michelin. From the bread to the pasta to the cheese, nothing tasted fresh—it all felt stale and poorly executed. The overall quality was far below expectations. The restaurant was completely empty at lunchtime in the middle of August, which should have been a warning sign. The menu and kitchen clearly need a complete rethink. Regretfully, this was the worst dining experience I’ve had in decades.
