… IN 7 STEPS

01

Quality ingredients, healthy cuisine

At El romero, we aim to balance high culinary standards with well-being, health, and environmental respect.
We adapt our gastronomic offerings based on the seasonality of seafood and local produce to serve the best ingredients at all times.
Our vegetarian menus showcase creative cuisine, anticipating the protein transition toward a fairer, more ethical, sustainable, and healthy food model. All our menus are GMO-free, gluten-free from conception, and suitable for celiacs.
Local products, flavors of Menorca

Local products, flavors of Menorca

We don’t own a farm or fishing boat, but we’ve always sourced directly from fishermen, farms, and local producers committed to environmental protection and the island’s cultural identity. Over time, this has not only secured us the finest products but also fostered close, trusting relationships that enrich our community.

03

We use organic products

We serve artisan bread, oils, cheeses, eggs, and organic wines.
Our goal is for over 50% of our vegetables to be certified organic.

04

We care for the sea

All the fish on our menus is wild and proceeds from small-scale local fishing.
We also try to include excellent but «forgotten» fish in our offerings (usually due to the difficulty of cooking them).
We believe industrial farmed fish is currently neither a healthy nor sustainable option.

05

We fight food waste

We work exclusively with tasting menus, allowing us to plan production and reduce food waste.
We buy fresh ingredients daily and prefer to run out of a product rather than compromise quality—or waste food!

06

We use 100% green energy.

We exclusively contract energy from renewable sources, whose origin is certified by the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC).

07

We recycle our packaging

We serve reverse osmosis water in reusable glass bottles.
Other glass bottles (e.g., sodas) are returnable—last year, we reused over 93% of beverage containers. For non-returnable bottles (like wine), we separate and recycle them properly.
Our certified «plastic-free» policy constantly drives us to eliminate single-use plastic packaging.
