Restaurant El Hogar del Pollo — Restaurant in Ciutadella

My experience at El Hogar del Pollo in Ciutadella was absolutely phenomenal, thanks to our incredible server, Celeste, and the fantastic chef, Mark! From the moment we sat down, Celeste’s warm smile and genuine enthusiasm made us feel right at home. She expertly guided us through the menu, suggesting dishes that perfectly suited our tastes, and her attentiveness throughout the meal was top-notch. The food, crafted by Mark in the kitchen, was nothing short of spectacular. The scallops in garlic and parsley butter were a divine starter – perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The grilled octopus, lightly seasoned with sea salt and olive oil, was tender and delicious, while the lacon, a slow-roasted pork shoulder with a hint of paprika, was an absolute standout. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, showcasing Mark’s incredible talent. Celeste’s recommendations ensured we had the perfect balance of dishes, and her friendly check-ins made the evening even more enjoyable. The vibrant, cozy atmosphere of El Hogar del Pollo, paired with such exceptional service and food, made this a meal to remember. This place is a must-visit in Ciutadella, and we can’t wait to return for more of Celeste’s hospitality and Mark’s culinary magic. Five stars...

I had some of the best food here in this small but absolutely amazing local restaurant. They do get quite busy so be ready to wait and bring cash because they don’t take cards.

We started off with some beer and was served bread. We got our first food which was the blistered pepper. It was simple cooking with pepper, salt, and olive oil but it was delicious. It’s not spicy at all and is the perfect beer snack!

The mussels were also good but it wasn’t the highlight for me. But they were still tasty. By far my favourite was the octopus which was soft as butter and drenched in olive oil. The tripes were also phenomenal and the soup was perfect for dipping bread. Finally, we ended our lunch with scallops which was the special for the day. It was small compared to what I’m used to but still full of flavour.

If you visit Menorca, this restaurant is a must visit for me. I will probably go back tomorrow because it...

This place is just great! We arrived around 7 PM, and it was about half full, so we decided to take a look at the menu — and wow, so many interesting and diverse options that we liked right away. So we sat down. Within just ten minutes, the place was packed, and suddenly there was a huge line outside — people waiting over an hour! That’s when we knew: this place must be really, really good. And it absolutely was. We tried what felt like half the menu — garlic chicken, mussels, squid, octopus, padrón peppers, cheese, and more — and every single dish was delicious. Think beautiful, flavorful tapas-style plates, perfect for sharing. The service was super quick and friendly, even with the rush. The prices are just fair. I highly recommend this spot if you’re into lively, vibrant atmospheres and really good food. Maybe not ideal for a romantic candlelit dinner — but if you’re after energy, flavor, and fun, this...
