El Faro de Cala Torret, a restaurant located on Menorca’s southeast coast, is a gastronomic project founded by friends and business partners Benet Guàrdia and Pedro José Sánchez. Together they decided to reconvert an earlier project into what it is today: a restaurant with Menorcan and Mediterranean cuisine.

On their spectacular terrace with sea views, tradition is served up with local and zero-kilometre produce, a combination that brings to the table resuscitated recipes like oliaigua, perols or stuffed Menorcan-style squid, not to mention of course their lobster, rice dishes, local meats and top-quality fish and seafood. Their suppliers are part of the local Agroxerxa group or the Cooperativa del Camp co-op, among others, all skilfully prepared by two top culinary professionals: Lluís Montiel, Menorcan, once chef of the highly missed restaurant Rocamar, and Ricardo Estévez, Galician, specialist in rice dishes and Galician octopus, of course!

In parallel with their gastronomic activity, El Faro de Cala Torret is also dedicated to minimising environmental impact and improved energy efficiency. In addition to the Biosphere Reserve brand, the project has the “Plastic Free” distinction reducing single-use plastic by 80%, and a modern and efficient water treatment system that has allowed them to fully eliminate plastic bottles. They have recently installed 20 solar panels, to produce green energy and contribute to reducing global warming.
