Culinary art is an experience that goes beyond the simple act of eating; it is a symphony of flavours, textures and presentations that captivate our senses. In Port d’Andratx, the restaurant Can Pep has perfected this art with its exquisite creation: Chateaubriand a la piedra. A meat dish of unequalled quality cooked to taste at the diner’s own table, offering a unique and unforgettable gastronomic experience.

Chateaubriand is a select cut of meat from the centre of the sirloin steak, known for its perfect marbling and incomparable tenderness. At Can Pep, this delicacy is elevated to new heights as it is cooked on the stone at the customer’s table. The presentation begins the culinary journey, with a hot stone elegantly arranged on a portable grill. This staging allows diners to actively participate in the cooking process, choosing their ideal level of doneness and creating a dish personalised to their preferences.

The heady aroma of grilled meat fills the air, heightening the anticipation of what is to come. Chateaubriand cuts are served at their optimum point of freshness, ready to be carefully placed on the hot stone. Contact with the fiery surface causes a subtle hissing sound, creating a symphony of sounds that underlines the magic of the process.

Exquisite texture

Can Pep’s stone-baked Chateaubriand in Mallorca offers a multi-sensory experience. The hypnotic sound of the meat cooking combines with the visual spectacle of the juices caramelising and the fibres of the meat coming to life. Each mouthful becomes a masterpiece, with an explosion of intense flavours intertwined with the smooth, luscious texture of the Chateaubriand.

The accompaniment plays an equally prominent role in this experience. Can Pep offers a variety of sauces and side dishes that enhance the richness of the main course.

At Can Pep, stone-baked Chateaubriand is not just a meal, but a gastronomic spectacle that celebrates the passion for good food and culinary excellence. Each visit becomes a chapter in the history of the cuisine, an experience that lingers on the palate and in the memory long after the last mouthful has been enjoyed. If you are looking for a culinary experience that transcends conventional boundaries, the stone-baked Chateaubriand at Can Pep awaits you, ready for you to simply enjoy and leave our restaurant with the best taste in your mouth.

And while you’re in Andratx, we recommend you stop by our restaurant, Can Pep, on the seafront of the Port.

There are two smoke-free beaches in Andratx. Andratx Town Council, with the aim of promoting the health, social and environmental benefits, has joined the programme of the Balearic Government “Platges sense fum” in 2023.

The two smoke-free beaches in Andratx to date are:

• Camp de Mar beach.
• Sant Elm beach.

“Smoke-free beaches” is a health and environmental protection programme that began in 2019. The Directorate General of Public Health and Participation and the Directorate General of Waste and Environmental Education want to promote and enhance healthy lifestyles and the benefits of a life without tobacco with the care of smoke-free beaches and waste.
With the aim of continuing to raise awareness of the major health problem of smoking, the public is asked to cooperate in respecting these natural spaces.

In this way, not only do we collaborate with environmental conservation policies, but we will also be able to enjoy a smoke-free environment and avoid possible accidents for our children in relation to the waste generated by smokers’ cigarette butts.

For all these reasons, it is proposed to take responsibility for carrying out this project by recommending not to smoke on the beaches that are identified as “Smoke-free beaches”. Remember that the smoke-free beaches in Andratx are those of Camp de Mar and Sant Elm. If you are in the area, we invite you to visit our restaurant.
