Where to buy bread cakes chocolates ice cream - Minorca in 2025

Practical information : Take a break Minorca

Timetable

Bakeries, cafeterias and ice-cream parlors are generally open all day, until around 8 p.m., and even a little later for ice-cream parlors (a good ice-cream is always a good dessert idea in this heat!). However, there are no hard and fast rules here, and to avoid wasting time, it's best to make a quick phone call. Bars generally open around 7-8pm and close around 2am, or even 4am in some cases.

Budget & Tips

Prices for gourmet breaks and alcoholic beverages are generally lower than in France (with the exception of discotheques and similar establishments). Minorcan pastries are highly recommended, especially the delicious ensaimadas .

What's very local

It's very common to drink your coffee, and even more so your café au lait, on the rocks: it's the famous tallat amb gel (in Menorcan).

In addition to the wines and gins produced and consumed on the island, there's another Menorcan specialty: the pomada. This aperitif, a blend of gin, homemade lemonade and sugar, is drunk during patron saint festivals and the great equestrian celebrations known as jaleos!

Kids

Children are generally accepted wherever a bar permit is not in force. However, they may sometimes be accepted on a bar terrace until early evening.

Smokers

While smoking is banned in gourmet shops, cafés and bars, until recently smokers were welcome on the terraces of these same establishments.
However, pandemic-related restrictions have changed all that, and in 2024 smokers were invited to step back a little to smoke.
