When the days get warmer, we naturally look for lighter, simpler, and flavourful meals. Mediterranean cuisine is the ideal answer: it values fresh ingredients, respects seasonality, and embraces simplicity without compromising on taste. At Mediterrâneo’s, this philosophy is present in every dish — especially in summer, when freshness and balance take centre stage.
Our summer menu invites you to enjoy light and authentic combinations. A highlight is the cod on a bed of turnip greens and onion sauce, where the intensity of the cod contrasts beautifully with the slight bitterness of the greens and the sweetness of the onion, all finished with high-quality Portuguese olive oil. For seafood lovers, we suggest the orecchiette with lobster and prawns — a delicate pasta with fresh shellfish, gently coated in a light sauce. It pairs perfectly with one of our selected white wines.
To suit the season, we also offer dishes such as goat cheese salads with dried fruits, cold soups, and the classic grilled fish with lemon and aromatic herbs. These are meals that feel light but satisfying — ideal for a relaxed lunch or a warm summer evening.
The beauty of Mediterranean cuisine lies in letting the ingredients shine: ripe tomatoes, seasonal vegetables, fresh herbs, and extra virgin olive oil. It’s honest, simple cooking that brings out the best of what the land and sea have to offer.
More than a meal, it’s a way of being: taking time to savour, sharing with loved ones, and feeling that summer is also lived around the table.
This summer, we invite you to discover the lightness and flavour of Mediterranean gastronomy.
