Calucha’s Red Prawn Open Omelette, sea and creaminess in Maó harbour

Some dishes perfectly sum up the personality of a restaurant. Calucha’s red prawn open omelette with courgette and piparras is one of those proposals that explains Biel Sintes’ cooking: produce, simplicity, intuition and that popular touch that turns an apparently everyday preparation into a dish with character.

The base is an open omelette, softly set and creamy, acting as a canvas for a combination full of contrasts. The red prawns bring marine sweetness and intensity, the courgette adds vegetal freshness, and the piparras introduce a lively, acidic and slightly spicy note that balances the whole. The result is a generous, flavourful and deeply Mediterranean omelette, designed to be shared and enjoyed without hurry.

Located on Moll de Llevant, in Maó harbour, Calucha has made omelettes, home-style Menorcan cooking and seasonal produce its own distinctive way of understanding gastronomy.
