On the holiday island of Menorca, in the Spanish Balearic Islands, fabulous family villas are bathed in the warm Mediterranean sun, making a last-minute getaway the perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of everyday life back home. This lovely little island is very welcoming to visitors, with a great range of family-friendly accommodation and some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean. As well as those stunning beaches, the friendly local people and a wonderful climate, the Spanish holiday destination is the perfect place to treat your taste buds before the endless cycle of soups and roasts begin back home. Travelling -- and eating -- with kids can be tricky, but luckily there’s a wonderful array of cuisines on offer on this paradise island. If you choose to stay in your villa for meals, the local markets are a great source of fresh ingredients to cook up your very own Spanish feasts, but even though a fair few of the restaurants close on a seasonal basis, you’ll still find some that stay open for the tourists. It pays to check first, though, so you won’t show up to a closed sign! Here are some of the top family-friendly restaurants that are sure to stop all tummies from rumbling. Restaurante El Pato There’s a reason this Mediterranean eatery is at the top of the list. Its menu boasts both standard and specialised children’s options, so whether you’re three or 53 your palate is sure to be pleased. Take your pick from the variety of cuisines on offer, from traditional Menorcan to Indian – there’s even a gluten-free menu. This is a sure winner when it comes to satisfying fussy eaters. Marlet Playa This is one for mum and dad. Located right on the beach, the children can safely run wild while you sit back, sip a cocktail or soft drink and enjoy the sunset. The menu is mostly Mediterranean with freshly grilled prawns and calamari being a firm favourite. Any vegetarians among you will be pleased with the sumptuous honey-fried aubergine plate, or if you’re looking for something easy, made-to-order pizzas are sure to satisfy. Plus, if you’re a family of ice cream lovers, you’ll certainly enjoy the array of ice cream delights. They’re so good, you’ll think you’re in Italy. Where to Stay To make your holiday truly memorable, I’d recommend staying in your very own villa at one of the many Menorca family resorts. Offering guests their own space and a little touch of luxury, there’s no better way to spend a holiday than in one of the beautiful Menorca family resorts.
