Grilled beach octopus at Chiringuito Es Bruc Santandria

Grilled beach octopus is one of the dishes that best expresses the direct, no-frills cooking of Chiringuito Es Bruc Santandria. Carefully cooked over the grill, it arrives at the table with lightly charred tentacles, a tender texture and that smoky touch that enhances the natural flavour of such a valued seafood product in Menorca.

It is served with baked potatoes cooked with onion, soft and well infused with the cooking juices, completing the dish without taking away from the main ingredient. The sauce, served in the right measure, adds brightness and intensity, while the contrast between the octopus, the potatoes and the aroma of the grill turns this into a simple but highly effective preparation.

At Foodies on Menorca, we recommend it to anyone looking for a product-led dish, well prepared and with the charm of a meal by the sea. Es Bruc Santandria will close the season on 17 October, a good opportunity to say goodbye to these days with one of its most representative dishes. Its beachfront location reinforces that feeling of fresh, approachable cooking designed to be enjoyed without rushing, with the sea as the best companion, right up to the final service of an intense and very well-spent season.
