MENORCA EXPERIMENTAL

The venue is not easy to find, as there are no directions on the website, nor are there signs on the road leading to the hotel. Our GPS is a little out of date so the best way of finding the hotel is a combination of Google Maps and paper map. Having said that, we did locate it.

The setting is impressive, a lovely building and dining area.

The menu included some very well constructed dishes, but we didn’t know how large, hence filling, each dish was. We were told that the kitchen wanted guests to order starters and main course at the outset, but we had been warned by friends that they ordered far too much food that arrived all together. We opted to order starters, see how filling they were, then order mains. This worked well. The pan tomate starter was fairly ordinary but the pizzetta was excellent. Both mains, the sirvia carpaccio and grilled chicken were pleasant. With hindsight I should have added some vegetables but by the time the mains arrived it was too late.

Overall it was a very good experience, and quite unlike anything else that we have experienced on the island.

Sehr leckeres Essen, sehr freundlicher, aber leicht chaotischer Service.
Schönes Ambiente.
Furchtbares Besteck ????

Wohlwollende 5, eher 4.5 Sterne.

We love the combination of elegance, originality and informality, in everything at Experimental. The food is a taste adventure, all finely prepared, and combines the best ingredients with local tradition and invention! The grilled sea bass and asparagus are delicious, but the lamb chops are unforgettable, the heat on the tongue arresting complimented by the tart fruitiness (of orange and pomegrante) and the eastern spice of the preparation.

We were, however, disappointed by the new wine list having dined here often and both unusual and superb choices, particularly from the Balearics. The new list has little of that, and is quite limited overall. The delightfully relaxed service (staff are unfailing helpful and friendly) can occasionally result in delays in the arrival of the food, though not unreasonable.

We love the restaurant and it's beguiling design, setting, and originality. Perfect chill-out chic!!!

Food was delicious, we ordered the watermelon salad, patatas bravas, pan con tomate, tuna tartare and aguachile.
Service was great! The food came out fast, staff was friendly and efficient.
The best was the Torija bread pudding with vanilla ice cream! Highly recommend. It was the most delicious dessert we have had in the island.
The only feedback for this place is that the aguachile and tuna tartare could be a bit bigger the portions.

Très belle expérience dans un joli cadre.
Des plats savoureux et une équipe attentionnée.
