Menorca cuisine with local soul (and zero-kilometre products)

In Menorca, cuisine is not just a matter of taste. It is territory, tradition and a way of understanding life. At the 4* Hotel Sagitario Princesa Playa, this philosophy translates into an honest culinary offering based on local products, respect for the environment and the pleasure of eating well, without rushing.

Here, each dish tells a story that begins long before it reaches the table.

At the Princesa Playa, this philosophy is brought to life through different dining areas designed for leisurely enjoyment, especially for couples:
