Café Balear
Cafè Balear
An old-school seafood restaurant by the port of Ciutadella, operating since 1970 and famous for its lobster stew supplied by its own fishing boat.
Located at Pla de Sant Joan 15 in the port of Ciutadella, this restaurant opened in 1970 and is supplied daily by its own fishing boat, the Rosa Santa. The signature dish is the lobster stew (caldereta de langosta), and the lobster rice is also highly popular. The 2026 TheFork menu lists the lobster stew at €85 per person, with a minimum of two people. If you do not order lobster, the average cost is about €50 per person. Seating is limited and long queues are common in summer, so booking in advance is highly recommended, especially for dinner. The restaurant is right by the harbor and can be reached on foot from the old town.
