Cod with Peppers at Bananas in Ciutadella

Cod with peppers is one of the most representative specialities at Bar Bananas in Ciutadella, an establishment that has preserved the essence of a traditional neighbourhood bar, where home-style cooking, classic tapas and Menorcan recipes take centre stage. Located on Carrer de Pere Cortès, Bananas is a familiar address for those seeking straightforward gastronomy, prepared with the flavours and simplicity of traditional cooking.

The star of the dish is perfectly salted cod, with tender, flaky white flesh, accompanied by red and green peppers cooked with onions and garlic confit. The combination of ingredients creates a dish of rich flavours, where the delicacy of the fish contrasts with the sweetness of the peppers and the aromatic notes of garlic, all brought together by a generous sauce made from olive oil and the natural cooking juices.

One of the greatest attractions of this speciality is precisely its simplicity. The cod remains the main focus, while the vegetables contribute texture, colour and the characteristic flavour of a traditional slow-cooked vegetable sauce, making a good slice of bread almost essential for soaking up every last drop.

At Foodies on Menorca, we particularly recommend this dish to lovers of home-style recipes and authentic Menorcan cuisine. Bananas, recognised as Best Bar by the Association of Gastronomic Journalists and Writers of the Balearic Islands, is also known for its tapas, meatball sandwiches, tongue with capers, paellas and traditional dishes prepared to order.
