How to Enjoy the Buffet at Minura Hotels.
During your well-deserved holiday in Minorca you will not only enjoy its crystal clear beaches and rich culture, but also the island’s gastronomy. If you are staying in one of our hotels, a culinary experience awaits you that will make your stay even more enjoyable.
In this article, we tell you how to make the most of your hotel buffet, from the first moments of the day to the most appetising dinners. You will discover why these buffets are so highly valued and how to enjoy each dish to the fullest.
Plan your meals: Get to know the buffet times.
At Minura Cala Galdana we offer breakfast and dinner, but at Minura Sur Menorca we offer all 3; breakfast, lunch and dinner.
In both cases it is essential that you familiarise yourself with the timetable so that you can take advantage of all the meals. Be sure to check the buffet timetable when you arrive at the hotel, as it varies slightly depending on the season or the establishment.
By knowing the times, you will be able to organise your activities and not miss any meals, especially if you plan to go on excursions or visits to nearby beaches.
Breakfast: Start the day with energy.
Breakfast is, without a doubt, one of the most important moments in any hotel buffet, and in our hotels it is no exception. You will find a variety of options that will allow you to start the day full of energy and satisfaction.
What you can’t miss:
- Healthy options: From fresh seasonal fruit, yoghurt and cereals to wholemeal breads, ideal for those seeking a balanced diet.
- Continental breakfast: fresh pastries, croissants, cakes and a selection of jams.
- ‘Menorcan’ breakfast: sobrasada, carn i xulla, Mahón-Menorca cheese or options as typical as Serrano ham or a selection of traditional cheeses and cold meats. If you combine them with a good slice of toast with tomato and olive oil, you can say that you’ve had breakfast like a real Menorcan.
- English breakfast: If you prefer something more substantial, there will be eggs, bacon, sausages and other ingredients of a typical English breakfast.
Make the most of breakfast to try a bit of everything. If you have intense activities planned, such as hiking or visiting the coves, opt for protein foods that will keep you satiated for longer.
Lunch: Mediterranean flavours and freshness in every dish
Come lunchtime, the Minura Sur Menorca buffet is transformed into a true showcase of Mediterranean cuisine. You can enjoy fresh dishes, with local ingredients that capture the essence of Menorca as well as other regions of Spain.
Suggestions for lunch:
- Fresh salads: Choose from a variety of salads with local ingredients, from tomato and Mahón cheese to olives and fresh vegetables. Even if it’s not a salad as such, gazpacho is a must!
- Fish and meat: In tasty sauces or grilled to enjoy all their flavours and nuances. Always 0km products.
- Pasta and rice dishes: If you prefer something more substantial, opt for pasta or rice dishes, with traditional flavours that will connect you directly with the Mediterranean. Every day our master rice cook will prepare delicious meat, fish, seafood or even vegetable paellas on the spot.
In addition, the buffet includes vegetarian and vegan options, ensuring that all guests can enjoy a delicious and nutritious meal.
Dining: Enjoy a gourmet gastronomic experience
The buffet dinner at our hotels is a time to relax and indulge in a wide variety of dishes that combine Menorcan tradition with international influences. It is the ideal time to explore new flavours and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere after a day of exploring the island.
Dinner highlights:
- Show cooking: In our show cooking areas, you can watch chefs prepare meat, fish and other dishes on the spot, guaranteeing freshness and personalisation.
- Meat selection: From juicy cuts to lighter dishes such as chicken or turkey, you will always find high quality options.
- Desserts: The dessert section is the perfect end to the day. Don’t miss the cakes, mousses and fresh fruit. Menorca is famous for its ensaimada, so if you find it at the buffet, don’t hesitate to try it!
To complete the experience, accompany your dinner with a glass of local wine or a refreshing cocktail. Particularly noteworthy are the gala dinners offered at Minura Cala Galdana on Saturday evenings.
Tips for making the most of the buffet
Variety and moderation
One of the great temptations at buffets is to serve too much of everything. To fully enjoy yourself, we recommend that you try small portions of different dishes. This will allow you to savour several options without feeling too full.
Adaptation for dietary needs
If you follow a specific diet or have any food allergies, the buffets at Minura Hotels are prepared to offer alternatives. Don’t hesitate to ask the staff, who will be happy to help you choose the right options for you.
Relax and enjoy the atmosphere
Buffets are not only an opportunity to eat well, but also to enjoy the atmosphere. Take your time, savour each dish and relax. Our hotel dining rooms are designed with views of the gardens, the pool or the sea, providing an ideal setting for a peaceful and enjoyable meal.
A unique gastronomic experience at Minura Hotels
Our buffets are much more than just a meal; they are a gastronomic experience that reflects the cultural and culinary richness of Menorca. From breakfast to dinner, each dish is carefully prepared to offer a combination of local and international flavours, always using fresh and high quality local ingredients.
Next time you stay at one of our hotels, follow these tips to enjoy your stay in the best possible way. Not only will you enjoy the food, but you’ll also take away a little piece of Menorca in every bite.
Bon appetit and enjoy your stay in Menorca!
