A charming corner in Mahón where creativity and technique reveal the essence of Menorcan ingredients
PHILOSOPHY
Creative Passion
El Romero, from the Latin “dew of the sea,” is the personal project of Francesca and Fabio, maître and chef.
A restless proposal, a meticulous quest, a personal dialogue with the island’s landscape.
We explore Menorca’s local bounty to shape a contemporary signature cuisine, where finesse, balance of flavors, and respect for the ingredient define every dish and the guest experience.
Signature Cuisine
Unconventional and creative cuisine, yet deeply rooted in Menorca.
The journey of a self-taught chef across the island, celebrating the subtle over the intense, unstable equilibrium, and harmony.
A cuisine that dispenses with the superfluous to express the essence of the product.
Products from Menorca
Menorca welcomed us with a lesson in authenticity.
We discovered a network of small producers whose craft, inherited generation after generation, became our inspiration.
Every morning, the Mercat de Peix de Maó (Mahón Fish Market) is our school, where we learn to read the Mediterranean from those who know it best.
Our cuisine draws its life from this direct connection to the land and the freshness of its ingredients.
Sustainable Gastronomy
Beyond local sourcing, our sustainability is circular and profound.
It was born with us more than a decade ago, when we were a small gastrobar, and has grown to become an essential commitment that permeates every decision, from wine selection to the energy that drives us.
This is how we understand excellence.
EXPERIENCE
El Romero
El romero El romero is an intimate, creative dining project, with just a few tables set in a beautiful historic building featuring high ceilings and wooden beams. When weather permits, we move our dining room to the setting of Plaça de la Conquesta, one of the most charming squares in central Mahón. Our concept unfolds through tasting menus – 100% gluten free – designed as sensory journeys between sea and vegetable garden. We love guiding our guests through an immersive experience where light, music, and art complete the journey, creating unique moments. Welcome to El romero, where creativity and sustainability go hand in hand!

WHO WE ARE
Francesca Baroni (maître) Fabio Tullini (chef)
We met in Bologna and lived there for a few years before moving to Menorca.
Why did we decide to move?
One possible answer is: why not? We were very excited to start a new project together. Changing countries, learning a new language and creating something that didn’t exist before: pure life!
Although we have completely different personalities, one thing we have in common: curiosity!
