We’re delighted that Cantina has earned a two-star Food Made Good award from the Sustainable Restaurant Association.
On Illa del Rei, we champion sustainability through seasonal Menorcan produce – sourcing from local fishermen and family farms. We’re also powered by renewable electricity (with solar on the way), and are committed to cutting waste by eliminating single-use items.
By raising funds for Menorca Preservation, we in turn support local environmental groups.
A garden designed by Piet Oudolf runs alongside the gallery buildings and Cantina, incorporating native perennials and planting suited to the climate.

Cantina celebrates Menorca’s culinary heritage with menus using locally sourced ingredients to serve bar snacks and tapas alongside a selection of sharing plates of fresh fish and seafood, rice dishes and meat and vegetables cooked over fire.
We source with dedication to celebrating Menorcan ingredients.
Menorca has an abundance of produce that we celebrate at Cantina. We prioritise using small, family run suppliers, from the local fishermen who bring their catch to the Mahón Harbour every morning to farms working at one with the land. We prioritise local, Menorcan produce when available, supplementing ingredients from wider Spain if necessary. Our menus change with the seasons and what is available.
We use only renewable electricity and LED lighting to save energy.
In 2024, we calculated our first carbon footprint and are aligning with Hauser & Wirth to reduce emissions, focusing on energy, transport, supply chain and waste.
We’re reducing waste through improved segregation, measurement, and staff training.
Our focus is on prevention: suppliers use reusable crates, and we’ve eliminated single-use plates, bowls, cups and straws.
We support Menorca Preservation with €1 donation from every fried Menorcan prawn dish sold.
The foundation supports local environmental groups across four pillars: land, sea, clean energy, and plastics.
As part of Plastic Free Menorca, we’re committed to reducing plastic use through reduction, reuse, and recycling.
