Es Borinot

4.2(314 reviews)

About

Found on Menorca, Es Borinot is a bar that sits on Plaça de Colom, 5, 07703 Maó, Illes Balears. The square setting places it within Maó itself, while Ciutadella, Cala Galdana, Cala Blanca, Binibeca, Cala en Bosch, Cala Macarella and Cala Mitjana are among the other places listed nearby. That spread means the bar is reachable from several of the island's main resort and town areas, not just from the capital.

As a bar, Es Borinot works around drinks and a social setting rather than a full dining format, and its reputation rests on a 4.2 out of 5 score drawn from 314 reviews. Those numbers point to a steady trade and a broad base of feedback rather than a small, niche following. The venue keeps an Instagram account at https://www.instagram.com/esborinotmenorca/, which serves as its online presence. Village festes, processions and open-air dances fill the summer calendar on Menorca, and a bar on a Maó square sits close to that rhythm.

Catalan and Spanish are both official on the Balearic Islands, with the local speech known as menorquí, so a few words in either language go a long way when ordering. Shearwaters nest on the cliffs and migrating birds pass through the archipelago, which is worth knowing if you plan walks between visits. Es Borinot's position in Maó makes it a straightforward stop for anyone moving between the island's towns and resorts.
