Menorcan Grilled Beef Tenderloin at L'Àncora

As evening falls, the charcoal grill becomes the star attraction at L'Àncora, a restaurant that has been part of Cala en Blanes' dining scene since 1982. It is during the evening service that the grill is fired up to prepare some of its most appreciated dishes, including this Menorcan grilled beef tenderloin, cooked to perfection to preserve all its tenderness, juiciness and natural flavour.

The tenderloin is simply finished with flakes of sea salt, allowing the quality of the locally sourced Menorcan beef to shine. Free from unnecessary embellishments, the charcoal grill adds subtle smoky notes while keeping the focus firmly on the outstanding quality of the meat.

At Foodies on Menorca, we recommend it to lovers of premium grilled meats looking for honest cuisine, generous portions and excellent value. This year, the Foodies on Menorca Awards 2026 honoured Luis Galán Durán, founder of L'Àncora in 1982, with the Special Jury Award, recognising more than four decades devoted to Menorcan hospitality.
