The Minorcan cuisine is strongly influenced by Mediterranean food preparations and diet. Lingering British influences on traditional cuisine is also evident and reflects in not just food, but drinks as well. Pomada, gin mixed with bitter lemon, is a Minorcan favorite and drunk during festes (festivals) to honor the patron saints of the different Minorcan towns. Another Minorcan favorite is the Formatge de Mao, a cheese indigenous to the island.

Minorcan traditions of courtesy and chivalry are still prevalent to this day. Minorcan hospitality is legendary and tourists are made to feel completely at home on this beautiful island.

Minorca’s resorts are mostly family-oriented. The nightlife on this island is lively and fun. There are plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes, discos, and nightclubs to be found around the island. Although animated, Minorcan nightlife is not boisterous. Tourists seeking thrills and glitz are best headed to the party-island of Ibiza or the popular resorts of Mallorca.
