Where is the best llonguet in Mallorca made?

LloretThe best llonguet of Mallorca is not eaten in the capital, but in the heart of the Pla region. In fact, it is made in the beautiful center of the island, in Lloret de Vistalegre, and precisely very close to the spot where the marker indicating what - for many people - is the center of Mallorca is located.

At the helm of the bar-restaurant of sa Comuna de Lloret, Borja Salas, was proclaimed winner of the competition organized by the Palma City Council and the Association of Cooks and Pastry Chefs of the Balearic Islands (ASCAIB) held in es Pil·larí as part of the tenth edition of the Fira del Llonguet.

The event sought the perfect combination of tradition and innovation within the framework of an exhibition created to reinforce this typical bread roll as a symbol of local gastronomy and Palma's identity.

In this context, the proposal from sa Comuna de Lloret emerged as the winner with the squid llonguet with kimchi mayonnaise, a preparation that, in fact, “is the star llonguet of sa Comuna”, explains Salas.

The preparation is an explosion of contrasts that pairs the texture of the bread with the product of the sea and the fusion touch with Asian cuisine that the kimchi provides. “The recipe is simple and basically it is a reinterpretation of the typical squid sandwich that we make at calamarins and we add the touch of our kimchi mayonnaise”, explains Salas, who adds that “the truth is that it has always worked very well for us”.

From now on, whoever wants to try what will be the best llonguet in Mallorca at least until the 2027 edition of the competition, can do so at Sa Comuna de Lloret or in the food truck they often set up at island events. Not going any further, on Sunday, May 3rd, it will be present at the Fira de Sineu.

“It is our star sandwich for a snack on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings, and now we will also have it for dinner,” explains Salas.
