Delicious, fresh Mediterranean cuisine from Formentera goes perfectly with its intensely flavoured wines. One of the island’s star recipes is the ‘peix sec’ (dried fish). This typical fishermen’s delicacy has become one of the island’s stand out dishes. It has been given the Arca del gusto (taste coffer) endorsement by the international organization of Slow Food. If you are looking for the perfect entree, this has to be fried octopus; a very popular dish made with octopus, onion, green peppers, potatoes and sweet paprika. Another highly recommended starter is squid fried in its ink.

Other delicious mouth watering dishes are sofrit pagès, specially prepared for popular festivities that include a great variety of meats and sausages with seasonal vegetables, and the bullit de peix, an iconic stew made with fresh Mediterranean fish, essential for every trip. Finally, you can taste unique desserts such as flaó (cheesecake), orelletes (sweet fritters) and greixonera. The traditional book of recipes will allow you to taste a healthy, fresh, seasonal cuisine that offers lots of delicious treats.
