Out the door, across the street & you will have arrived at the door of one of the best restaurants in Mallorca. Peter the chef offers a vibrant alternative to the more traditional offerings in the village such as adorable & very Mallorquine Ca'N Antuna. Many ingredients sourced from his own organic vegetable garden in Fornalutx. Reservations are naturally recommended.

This is such a lovely place. A bit up market & not easy to get to, but go for lunch on a nice day. Paella for 2 & a bottle of nice cold white wine. You will understand why I like it - check it is open before going however...

Book. A little serious for the casual terrace seeking patron, but an enjoyable spot for an affordable treat, conjuring up daily changing modern Spanish cuisine to surprise & delight.

I like the bar, the view of the Port, the friendly staff & the well executed user friendly culinary offerings. Perfect with kids, great any time, especially mid afternoon outside the summer months on the terrace. Honestly.

My place in the Mountains for simplicity well done & where timing is key is you want to enjoy the mountains. Great Pimentos de Padrone - better here than anywhere but home, super little fried squid, good Iberico, lovely hosts. Serious food for the serious 2 & situated on the pass, a bikers paradise...

This was the new hot 2018 Mallorquine place in Palma. One long bar, fun wines, food busily prepared across the counter. Modern, delicious & fun. El Camino is the proverbial cats whiskers & unfortunately has made it into flight mags so pick your moment or face the hateful prospect of a queue. Eddie Hart, local boy made good in London with Barafina etc is raising the level very significantly. Go solo or as a couple, lunch being an easier option. There are a few stand up places at the back. Bookings recommended.

If you were going to Miro's house this fish, just fish restaurant is not far, very good & loved by all for its fair prices - so go early & beat the queue. (the owner is or was a fisherman). They take bookings but this simply indicates you will get a table. Eventually.

a friend of mine introduced me to this great central spot. The reason to go is the little hidden shaded garden out the back. Simple home cooking, quite a lot of natural wine, but fortunately good cold beer too. Very friendly. Cash only.

On the corner of the road up to Biniaraix, so should you be over at the next door Cooperativa, drop in for a sumo & a café to check this new address out. While it is not always open, it is very rewarding when it is, everything is delicious, home made with passion by la lovely patronne, great little terrace out the back.

The great new location for the historic Caves Tunnel. Go here for intermediate priced wines with quality & character. The large range proposed is almost exclusively Mallorquine & Spanish - rightly so - but they also have spirits & an extensive range of their own liquors.

If, like me, you enjoy good wine & welcome the opportunity to do a little research, try some different things...there is no better place to go. Well trained, knowledgeable staff can help unravel the towering walls of choices.
