"I went here on the last week of August and the opening hour for dinner was 19:30. You can seat down and order a drink while waiting for the kitchen to be open. When I went there, it wasn't crowded, so the service was very efficient. The food was good, as for some dishes the price is a little bit higher compared to some other restaurants in Ciutadella. Overall the experience was nice."

Dónde comer en Ciutadella: 11 restaurantes recomendados
Conocido por viajeros y locales como uno de los restaurantes de Ciutadella más emblemáticos y ubicado al lado del Mercado, esta es la opción perfecta si quieres comer o cenar a base del mejor tapeo. Eso sí, ten en cuenta que no reservan y suele estar muy lleno por lo que merece la pena no ir en hora punta o ir preparado para hacer algo de cola. Además de un personal increíblemente agradable, la carta cuenta con platos como fritura de pescado por 24,90 euros para dos personas, berenjenas con miel por 9,90 euros, pulpo a la plancha por 16,90 euros o chipiones por 10,90 euros, todos ellos buenísimos.
Burguers, kebabs y bocatas... 15 sitios en Menorca para disfrutar de la comida
El Bar Can Rafa está situado en la plaza del Mercado de Ciutadella, un espacio con mucho ambiente, en pleno centro histórico. Es un placer sentarse en su terraza, bajo los arcos de la plaza, y disfrutar, entre muchas otras cosas, de sus bocatas, de los que el "Serranito" (lomo, jamón, pimiento verde y alioli) se lleva la palma, aunque las "roscas" (pan en forma de donut, con patatas en el hueco) no se quedan atrás. Pero también te lo hace de queso, lomo, sobrasada, y otros embutidos.
