Now it its second year, Venecia is a lively restaurant and pizzeria right in the centre of Arenal d’en Castell. Previously Japi Bar, this long established venue has had a complete make over under the enthusiastic management of Max, known to many from the Acuario restaurant in Na Macaret which he still owns and runs.
With some of the best views over the spectacular bay of Arenal, this covered outdoor terrace restaurant is a perfect choice for early evening family meals, a get together with friends or perhaps a romantic yet informal dinner for two as the sun sets over the horizon.
Now in its twelfth year, El Pirata is the longest established restaurant and bar in Coves Noves, behind the resort of Arenal d’en Castell. Having worked there since the early days, current owner Toni took over the premises to develop the restaurant side of the business and become the popular El Pirata of today.
From day one, the emphasis has been on quality home cooked food using only the freshest meat, fish and other ingredients. The succulent kebabs of chicken, steak and salmon served with different marinades and sauces are a speciality, the chicken and lemon being a particular favourite amongst many.
Opened under the new management of Toni this year, Can Guixó is a great bar to visit any time of day…from breakfast right through to late at night. The friendly, family atmosphere is evident from the moment Toni greets you with a warm smile….‘mi casa es tu casa’ (my home is your home) is very much the motto here. Indeed, those who are regulars to Na Macaret may recognise a couple of familiar faces helping out, Toni’s parents Jaime and Toñi used to run the popular locals bar on the corner, El Raco.
Family fun gastro pub Smithy’s has a wonderful atmosphere all of its own. And, it’s easy to work out why when you experience the warm, friendly welcome from owner John Smith and taste the high quality, well priced food cooked by his wife Cheryl. It’s no wonder people keep returning year after year.
Situated at the far end of Arenal, the bar and restaurant were purpose built in keeping with the local surroundings when John and his family acquired the premises in 2004, and now prides itself in offering customers ‘British know-how with a Mediterranean twist’.
Coves Noves can claim to have one of the best pizzeria restaurants in the area. Under the experienced ownership of Kiko and his wife Herminia for the past 11 years, Flamingo is the perfect place to eat either before or after a trip to the beautiful sandy beach of Arenal d’en Castell, just a few minutes away.
Well frequented by locals, this family run restaurant is not so well known to holiday makers staying in the surrounding resorts.
Now well established under the professional management of owners Agustin Suarez and Teresa Sevilla, Alcalde Restaurant and Lounge Bar in Arenal d’en Castell is no longer Menorca's best kept secret, as more people get to know what a magical place this is. Having undergone a complete transformation, keeping only its original name and basic layout, this well established restaurant now offers superb outside terrace dining overlooking the magnificent bay of Arenal, indoor dining in the spacious restaurant, seating areas for more informal eating and drinks as well as a contemporary cocktail lounge. No detail has been spared to ensure your visit to is truly memorable. Children are also well catered for with their own play area and special menu.
Backgammon, pub and snack bar offers everything you could want to enjoy a drink with family entertainment at any time throughout the day. In the evening, it becomes the hottest party venue well into the early hours.
The bar is very conveniently located in the small yet bustling commercial centre of Coves Noves behind the resort of Arenal de’n Castell. Perfect if you want a break from the beach, a stop off after the supermarket or a fun evening with friends.
