champagne canpep andratx

High-end sparkling wines for an unforgettable celebration

There are always reasons to celebrate at Can Pep on the terrace facing the sea. Our French champagne menu offers five options designed for you, all possibilities that you can enjoy with your partner, perhaps with your family or at lunch or dinner with friends.

Luxury, joy, party and distinction. The origin of the bubbly drink, which symbolizes these attributes, dates back to the 17th century when a Benedictine monk, Dom Perignon, bottled a rustic wine capable of bubbling after adding sugar in a second fermentation.

Precisely, a Dom Perignon is the first thing we offer you. He prepares your senses. Its color, golden yellow, is the first thing that captivates like its fine and abundant bubbles. Its initial notes of fresh almonds and grapefruit are the prelude to the cashew and the toasted flavor that characterizes it. The variety of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are the ideal strains for your toast.

If you fancy a fruity, intense champagne with a pleasant finish, Moët & Chandon Brut adjusts to your taste thanks to its delicate aroma with a touch of linden and vine flower. For its part, in the Moët & Chandon Brut Rosé version the smell of forest strawberry and currant predominates with spicy notes.

Laurent-Perrier, founded in 1812, is another brand that is always at the forefront. Its bottles come from 10 vineyards located in the lands most conducive to the production of champagne: Ambonnay, Bouzy, Louvois and Tours sur Marne.

Our menu features two select types of sparkling wine: Laurent-Perrier Rosé and Laurent Perrier La Cuvée. The first, fruity with a fresh and smooth finish, is ideal to finish a pleasant lunch. Choose from our menu the variety Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier.

And, if you return to Can Pep at night, treat yourself with our Laurent Perrier La Cuvée, a delicate and fresh experience with notes of citrus and white fruits.

arroz senyoret

Our ‘Senyoret’ rice and its history

Senyoret Rice -with fish and seafood, without shells-, one of the rice dishes included in the Can Pep restaurant menu, has a long and curious history. Also with a lot of controversy: is it comparable to ‘a banda’ rice or is it a different recipe? This delicious dish has rice as its main ingredient, how could it be otherwise. However, its particularity comes from the way in which the rest of the ingredients are presented.

In this case, it is fish, seafood and shellfish, which are integrated into the dish completely clean and ready to eat. That is precisely where its name comes from. And, according to many references, it was a dish that was formerly made for the first-born of the family, for the ‘lord’ of the house. The base of the recipe is common to that of the typical rice dishes, but the seafood and fish in this Senyoret Rice is peeled, without shells, without bones… Ready for the gentleman of the house!

As Paco Alonso explains in an article published in “La Vanguardia”, the terminology began in the Valencian Community. The term “senyoret”, as a result of this custom, was penetrating among the population until it finally became popular, giving its name to this today so well-known rice dish.

Today’s ‘senyorets’

Senyoret Rice, a recipe that was born to satisfy the most exquisite -and lazy- palates, was later transferred to the restaurants sector. And it is that it makes a lot of sense to facilitate the gastronomic experience as much as possible to the diners, who do not even have to stain their fingers when tasting it. That is why this dish is perfect for those who do not want to peel shellfish or find bones in the fish.

In our restaurant in Port d’Andratx, in Mallorca, we prepare a Senyoret Rice with the best ingredients, fresh and local. What are you waiting for to try it?

stone grilled meat Can Pep

Stone grilled meat in Mallorca at Can Pep

At Can Pep we serve one of the best stone grilled meats in Mallorca. A culinary technique that consists of cooking meat on a stone of volcanic origin, usually basalt. The heat that this stone gives off, which is at a temperature of about 250-350 ºC, allows the unmistakable cooking of meat dishes on stone.

The stone grilled meat from Can Pep, a restaurant in Port d’Andratx, is one of the dishes most requested by our customers. A tasty T-Bone steak stone grilled to lick your fingers.

Can Pep meats

To achieve the perfect point of the piece of meat, the surface of the stone must constantly maintain high temperatures. Otherwise, the cooking of the food would be interrupted and this would be noticeable in the final result. The point of this stone grilled meat in Mallorca, which we serve at Can Pep, always depends on the consumer’s taste. However, the technique allows choosing the right moment when its first cooking is finished and then the diner himself decides whether to continue cooking it with the basalt’s own heat.

Keys for a good stone cooking

The surface of the volcanic stone must be completely smooth, so that it comes into contact with the meat evenly. Neither should its cleanliness be neglected: the stone should be perfectly cleaned after each cooking.

For its part, the meat must be of the highest quality, something that we take great care of at Can Pep. Before cooking it, it is convenient to keep it for a few minutes at room temperature, which avoids the thermal shock of the product just taken from the fridge. You also have to pay special attention to the size of the piece: the larger it is, the more cooking time it will require and vice versa.

Finally, comes the culinary experience of enjoying stone grilled meat in Mallorca, in a unique natural enclave such as Port d’Andratx. At Can Pep we never tire of serving this delicious dish, with which customers enjoy not only its delicious flavor, but also participating in the cooking until it is to their liking. We can only say… bon apetit!

Benefits of tuna, a fresh and local ingredient

Tuna is the most consumed fish in the world. Luckily, our Mediterranean Sea offers this exquisite food, with specimens that even exceed three hundred kilos.

Tuna is a perfect substitute for meat and helps to follow a more balanced diet. Among the benefits of this product is its high content of Omega 3 fatty acids. Fats that help protect the heart and cardiovascular system. This fish provides a high protein intake.

Among the vitamins present in tuna, B2, B3, B6, B9 and B12 stand out; it also contains significant amounts of vitamins A and D, which promote skin and tissue repair as well as calcium absorption, respectively. Finally, among the benefits of tuna are the minerals that this food provides: potassium, phosphorus, selenium, magnesium, iron and iodine. Potassium is related to the correct muscular activity; phosphorus helps the nervous system and benefits the bone system; on selenium it is known that it has antioxidant properties; magnesium improves the functioning of the intestine; iron prevents anemia, and finally iodine is crucial for thyroid function.
