Sa Pedrera des Pujol wins its first Repsol Sun

The restaurant Sa Pedrera des Pujol, run by Dani García Mora and Núria Pendàs, one of the temples of new Menorcan cuisine, has this week obtained its first Sun from the Repsol Guide.

Sa Pedrera is one of the longest-running restaurants in Menorca. It was founded as a snack bar in the 1960s, where residents and the first tourists would gather to celebrate. After going through several managements, a French-Swiss woman transformed it into a restaurant, where it offered world cuisine and its specialty was the curious Chinese fondue.

In 2003, a young Asturian couple, Nuria Pendás and Daniel García Mora, who had settled on the island and were regular customers of the restaurant, acquired the premises to develop their life project.

Every year a change, an improvement, has made Sa Pedrera a reference for good food on the island, always thinking about the detail and the comfort of the customer, but without losing any of the spirit that saw the restaurant born, which is ultimately about celebrating, enjoying and living life.

Daniel Mora has Menorcan roots, from several generations on his mother's side. This is where all the knowledge of the island's gastronomy comes from. After studying hospitality in his native Asturias, together with Núria Pendás, they decided to come and try their luck on the island.

He worked in different restaurants and hotels, and she in the tourism sector where she developed and expanded her knowledge in customer service, language skills and quality service. Inveterate travelers and restless gourmets, they are constantly learning.
