Overview
Located in the picturesque northern fishing village of Fornells, Es Cranc is a legend when it comes to Menorca's signature dish: *Caldereta de Langosta*. The restaurant has maintained a humble, unpretentious decor for decades, letting the spectacular quality of its seafood take center stage. It is a favorite stop for everyone from local families celebrating special occasions to celebrities and royalty visiting the island.
At Es Cranc, the lobsters are kept alive in seawater tanks until ordered, ensuring absolute freshness. The lobster stew is prepared in large clay pots, combining fresh lobster with a rich tomato, garlic, and pepper broth, served with thin slices of local country bread. The result is a savory masterpiece that represents the very best of Balearic maritime cooking.
Due to its fame, booking a table weeks in advance during the high season is absolutely necessary. For a true taste of traditional Menorcan seafood heritage, Es Cranc remains the gold standard on the island.
