Restaurant 2 camins, the pleasure of sharing

Almost a month ago, the 2 camins restaurant opened its doors, the new gastronomic venture of the twin brothers, Jesús and Isaac García, together with their sister, who opt for a short menu, with dishes of new Menorcan cuisine, designed for share at the table, both inside and in the cozy interior patio offered by this small temple of Menorcan gastronomy, located on the ground floor of the Fragile hotel, on Calle del Roser, bordering the Municipal Exhibition Hall in the heart. from the old town of Ciutadella.

Honest, elaborate, meticulous cuisine, with a firm commitment to local products, is what we will find at 2 camins, which also has a very well-structured wine list and good references of wines from the island, and also from the Balearic Islands.

Trajectory

Jesús studied at the IES Maria Àngels Cardona, with the intention of improving his gastronomic culture “I was very clumsy with food, I didn't know how to distinguish one meat from another when I started as a waiter. And I was curious to enter the kitchen to find out what was on the table,” says Jesús. However, both confess that the one who opened doors and embarked on the adventure was Isaac. “He went to work in Mugaritz, in the Basque Country, and encouraged me to go north to do an internship.” This is how Jesús began his professional career, as he has gone through the kitchen of the Guggenheim Bistro or the Casals, apart from setting foot in Michelin Star kitchens in Catalonia, London and the Martín Berasategui school. It was his time in these restaurants that awakened Jesús's love for haute cuisine, ending up at the right hand of one of the most renowned Menorcan chefs and with whom he has worked in recent years, Felip Llufriu, in the Mon restaurant.

For the last two years, Diego Merino ran the Caboria restaurant, which was a revelation restaurant in Menorca by the Association of Gastronomic Journalists of the Balearic Islands.

Now they begin a new adventure, with dishes of gastronomic memory such as the red veal tarrina from Menorca with its blood (blood made with beets) which was one of the finalist dishes in the International Cooking Competition Applied to the Red of Menorca, or its Ciutadella red prawn tartar, as well as roast chicken cannelloni, and if you are a cheesecake lover, you should try their Menorca cheesecake, which is served at room temperature, with thyme ice cream and apple chutnei. .

The summer nights in the heart of Ciutadella, from now on, have a name, the 2 camins on Roser street, in the house, where by the way the cartoonist Marino Benejam, author of the “Ulysses Family” of the remembered ones, was born TBO's.
