The best French cuisine restaurants Balearic Islands

It is often confused with Es Cranc, but they are two different restaurants although they are the same property. Cranc Pelut is located at the entrance to Fornells, at the beginning of the port. If Es Cranc is the specialist in caldereta, Cranc Pelut is one of the best places in Menorca to eat paella. A word of advice: don't take an appetizer, the paella for two is absolutely gigantic (you can eat it for four without any problem). The kindness of the waiters and the pretty view of the port do the rest. An excellent address.

Just a stone's throw from the church, this charming restaurant has a beautiful green terrace and a cosy decor. It is a superb address for breakfast (fresh croissants, freshly squeezed juices, tostadas, eggs cooked in all their forms...), a nice stopover at lunchtime and a gourmet stopover in the evening, where the dishes are more elaborate. Try the pluma iberica or the spectacular entraña de wagyu. To finish on a sweet note, desserts and home-made ice creams. Special mention for the particularly interesting wine list.

The restaurant of the hotel of the same name, located inside the fortifications of Dalt Vila, in the front line, is a recommendable option - but not cheap! - for those who want to enjoy the old town in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. It serves a very good Mediterranean cuisine, based on meat and fish. The breakfasts are excellent. In the morning, at noon and in the evening, you will appreciate the cosy and intimate atmosphere, in the pretty service room and from the large terrace with a view of the small park opposite. Very friendly service.

This restaurant is a must for all gourmets. Founded in 1969, it offers a selection of typical island dishes, made from local products. Combining finesse and creativity, the chef invites you to a fabulous tasting in a rustic and warm decor. The restaurant has 3 rooms and its major asset is, of course, its "bodega", open to the public, where you can choose, among a variety of 200 wines, the one that will best accompany your gastronomic journey. Reservations are essential.

This restaurant was one of the first to open in Cala Galdana. It enjoys a good reputation for its Menorcan cuisine. We come here to eat fresh fish in a family atmosphere. The daily menus (classic and especial) include a starter, main course and dessert. On the à la carte menu, you'll have to choose from the many tapas on offer(calamar a l'andalusa, pop a la gallega, patates braves, garlic shrimp, etc.) before turning your attention to the dozen or so proposals forarrossos and paellas to share.

Here's a little address just the way we like it! Run by a friendly Frenchman from Chauvoncourt, a commune in the Meuse region, this bistro-restaurant is a delight, both for its old-fashioned setting full of carefully chosen antique details and for its relaxed atmosphere. It has to be said that the owner is extremely welcoming and does everything to make you feel at home. On the plate, the menu changes from day to day, depending on the harvest, the market and the chef's inspiration. A little corner of France in the heart of the village. We love it!
