Reviews on Spanish food in Es Castell, Balearic Islands, Spain. Es Castell (Spanish: Villacarlos) is a small municipality in eastern Menorca in the Balearic Islands, Spain. The town was founded in 1771 by British Col. Patrick Mackellar and was originally called Georgetown in honour of King George III; however, it takes its current name from the large fort nearby, known to the British as St. Philip's Castle. Col. Patrick MacKellar (Argyllshire 1717-1778) was the chief engineer of Menorca and his house today is known as Son Granot. Es Castell celebrates its Foundation Day on 1 June with 18th-century themed festivities, in which the Municipality itself, St. Philip's Castle Foundation, Son Granot and other institutions participate.

Very interesting and unique place to have a drink. There's a great ambience in the caves at the back, wine excellent and very reasonably priced, also a great place to sit and watch the world go by.

This restaurant is tucked away, turn first right after you enter the Es Castell road that runs parallel with the harbour. The entrance is through a large blue double gate, as you walk in you feel like you are entering another world. The restaurant is designed around what was a swimming pool and there is a small Menorcan fishing boat tied in the middle all this giving an air of tranquility you would not expect.The lunchtime 3 course menu has delicious Menorcan style food choices and includes a drink (wine, beer, soft drinks or water) for a very reasonable 13 Euros.Once you have tried the menu, you will return. The waiters and waitresses are delightful.

Very pleasant large tapas (4 dishes between 2} which were tasty, as well as unusual. Dishes were served one at a time with a small overlap. Hot as appropriate. Friendly and cheerful staff. Frequented by many locals. Pity about the outside seating being on a busy junction with a bus stop. Courgettes carpaccio with caramelised mango dressing with rocket and cashews with parmesan was particularly interesting. Good chocolate fondant with ice cream!

Seafood & Mediterranean restaurant situated in beautiful Cales Fonts harbour. Open from Easter till mid October.
Quite expensive, but was a lovely meal. Huge choice of fish on the menu. Portions were big. I had stir fried monkfish with onions and it was cooked really nicely, more delicate than I thought it would be. Gets very busy, need to book for dinner.

We went here based on the TA reviews and because we like tapas. Sadly, we arrived about 8:30pm and were told they didnât have a table, despite there being numerous vacant tables. Upon asking they said they were all reserved. I was offered a table about 30 minutes later but it would have been too late for us. Sad as I would have liked to have tried the food.

I think we were served by the owner and she was lovely, very friendly and helpful. Great outlook by the harbour. The food was a bit disappointing to me, it was very average I thought. I can't remember what we had now as it was a few weeks ago, but i'd hoped for better from the reviews. We were maybe spoilt as we had lunch at santa rita in Mahon, which is amazing!

I called in at lunch time for a beer and decided to book for dinner that evening. As it was a Saturday the restaurant was busy but we had good service and the food and wine was excellent. We ordered 5 tapas dishes for 2 and it was more than enough.

Shopping nearby and looking for somewhere in/near Mahon for lunch and this was one of the ones that came up on TripAdvisor. It's not great looking from outside but the menu del dia sounded promising and as there were no seats available and locals waiting for tables we had to give it a go. 3 courses, wine and water for 2 and under â¬30. It was lovely. Juan served and guided us through the menu and his English put my Spanish to shame. Thank you to all that recommended this place, we'd never have found it otherwise. It's a short car journey from Mahon (about 4 minutes at most) but well worth it. If we weren't staying near Ciutadella we'd be back in a flash.

My wife and I had lunch here today and it was amazing. We had ham croquettes which were freshly made and probably the best I have had. We also had peppers stuffed with cod and my wife also had some scallops. Overall a fantastic tasting lunch and first class hosts. A must visit.Thank you very much
