Restaurant Dos Camins, the pleasure of sharing

Bep Al·lès/Ciutadella - Dos Camins restaurant opened its doors a couple of months ago, the new gastronomic venture of twin brothers, Jesús and Isaac García, together with their sister, who opt for a short menu, with dishes of new Menorcan cuisine and, designed to be shared 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 Carrer del Roser, while forming a median with the Municipal Exhibition Hall in the heart of the old town of Ciutadella.

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

TRAJECTORY

Jesús studied at 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 go into the kitchen to find out what was on the table," comments Jesús. However, the two confess that Isaac was the one who opened doors and went on an adventure. "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, which has passed through the kitchen of the Bistrot del Guggenheim or the Casals, in addition to stepping into Michelin Star kitchens in Catalonia, London and the school of Martín Berasategui. It was the passage through these restaurants that awakened Jesús's love for haute cuisine, ending up as the right-hand man of one of the most renowned Menorcan chefs and with whom he has worked in recent years, Felip Llufriu, at restaurant Mon.

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

Now they are starting a new adventure, with memorable gastronomic dishes such as Menorca's red cow terrine with its blood (blood made with beetroot), which was one of the finalist dishes in the Menorca Red Applied Cooking Competition, or the their red shrimp tartare from Ciutadella, in addition to the roast chicken cannelloni, and if you are a lover of cheese cakes, you must try their Menorca cheese cake, which they serve warm, with thyme ice cream and chutney apple.

The summer nights in the heart of Ciutadella now have a name, Dos Camins al Carrer del Roser, in the house where, by the way, the cartoonist Marino Benejam, author of the "Ulises Family" was born of the remembered TBO's.
