Menorcan-style baked squid casserole at Calucha

The Menorcan-style baked squid casserole is one of the dishes that best represents the traditional cuisine championed by Calucha. Prepared with squid caught around Menorca, it is slowly baked over a bed of potatoes and tomatoes, following a time-honoured island recipe that highlights both the quality of the ingredients and the authentic flavours of Menorcan gastronomy.

As it cooks, the squid releases its juices into the potatoes, while the roasted tomatoes add a gentle sweetness that perfectly balances the dish. The result is a deceptively simple recipe full of flavour, where the focus remains on outstanding local produce and faithful traditional cooking.

At Foodies on Menorca, we recommend it to anyone wishing to discover genuine Menorcan home cooking. It is no coincidence that Calucha has recently been awarded the Foodies on Menorca 2026 Award for Best Gastrobar in Menorca, recognising a culinary project that combines traditional recipes, local ingredients and heartfelt cooking.
