On the beautiful, lesser-known beach of Port d’es Torrent (Sant Josep) sits Tigre Morado, a restaurant offering exquisite Mediterranean-Peruvian fusion cuisine. This establishment, which opened its doors last year, has become an ideal gastronomic destination for those looking to enjoy a culinary experience by the sea.
The Tigre Morado menu is a tribute to the freshness of local produce and the tradition of Nikkei cuisine. The seabass ceviche with prawns and octopus in yellow pepper cream and the tiradito de hamachi with nikkei sauce are two of its standout dishes. The main courses are not far behind with options such as the seabass grilled ‘a la chapa’ with Japanese butter and ají amarillo (Peruvian yellow pepper), lacquered octopus in anticuchera sauce made with aji panca; and creamy rice with prawns and grilled squid with coriander oil.
To finish the meal on a sweet note there is an enticing selection of desserts to choose from. Highlights include the soft texture of semi-bitter chocolate 70% Peru with canchita praline and Maldon salt and the smoked pineapple carpaccio with ice cream and caramelised macadamia nuts.

Tigre Morado’s location in Port d’es Torrent adds a priceless bonus to the experience. The restaurant has seating options in different space: an indoor area decorated with local artisan products, a semi-covered outdoor area and an area with sunbeds on the beach where you can enjoy the impressive sunsets accompanied by a dj set.
