5 Mediterranean summer dishes that are always appealing
When temperatures rise, the way we feel like eating also changes. We look for fresh flavours, simple dishes and ingredients that fit with those meals that stretch out on the terrace. Mediterranean summer dishes are a good example of how a recipe does not need to be overly complicated to be enjoyable.
We have selected five options from our menu that are particularly suitable for this time of year.
1. Salt cod esqueixada
Few dishes represent Mediterranean cuisine so well. Salt cod is the star of a fresh, tasty recipe that is perfect for starting a meal when the heat is intense.
It is one of those dishes that shows how simple ingredients can offer so much.
2. Goat’s cheese salad
Salads are one of the great summer classics, but they do not all have to be the same.
Goat’s cheese adds intensity and gives the salad more personality. A good option for anyone looking for a fresh dish without giving up flavour.
3. Padrón peppers
Small, easy to share and ideal for placing in the centre of the table.
Padrón peppers work especially well for those informal lunches or dinners where the idea is to order several things and share them. And, as tradition says, some are hot and some are not.
4. Grilled cuttlefish
Grilling is one of the great allies of Mediterranean cuisine. It allows you to enjoy the ingredient without having to overcomplicate it.
Cuttlefish is a perfect alternative for summer days and on our menu you can also find it as a combination plate with salad and potatoes.
5. Grilled salmon with escalivada
To finish our selection of Mediterranean summer dishes, a combination of fish and vegetables.
Grilled salmon served with escalivada is a tasty option for those days when you want to sit down at the table and enjoy a complete meal.
You can see these and many other options on the full Bar Plaça menu.
Summer is also enjoyed around the table
Long days invite us to stay a little longer, order something to share and enjoy the good weather without rushing.
This is also an essential part of Mediterranean summer dishes: it is not only about what we eat, but how and with whom we eat it.
At Bar Plaça Mont-roig you can find us in the heart of the village and enjoy our food and terrace. And if you have any questions before visiting, you can contact us here.
