Palma’s Best-Known Seafood Restaurant: Ca n’Eduardo
Eat, drink, sleep, Mallorca
by Jan Edwards
2w ago
Although Mallorca has a coastline of around 550 kilometres, there are not as many restaurants dedicated mainly to seafood as you’d think. Seafood is, of course, found on many eatery menus but if you’re looking for a renowned restaurant where the culinary focus is on fish and shellfish, I’d recommend Ca n’Eduardo in Palma. This restaurant is one of the oldest in Palma, having been in business for 80 years; it’s recognised in Palma’s Emblematic Establishments Catalogue. Since 2008, Ca n’Eduardo has been owned by Johnny Moloney – a Dubliner who bought the place with two business partners. Johnny ..read more

Lunch in the Campanet Countryside: Ses Coves
Eat, drink, sleep, Mallorca
by Jan Edwards
1M ago
Ses Coves seen from the car park Several times last summer I tried to book a table for dinner at Ses Coves in the Campanet countryside. I’d read and heard a lot about the place so it was no surprise that it was always full when I tried to make a reservation. The answer? Eat out of season – which we did recently, booking our lunch only the day before we wanted to go. Ses Coves – as the name suggests – is adjacent to the Caves of Campanet at the foot of the Puig Sant Miquel, overlooking a picturesque valley with extensive views. The location is fantastic but the main reason for the popularity of ..read more

Nº11 is Number One in Port d’Andratx
Eat, drink, sleep, Mallorca

I’ve occasionally been asked for a restaurant recommendation in Port d’Andratx, in the southwest of Mallorca. Until recently, I wasn’t aware of any stand-out places to eat there – despite plenty of eateries. This is partly because we live north of Manacor, so I always want to be sure that any restaurant at a distance will be worth the time and the fuel cost to get there. The front terrace with optional covering The view from the first-floor loungeDecor detail in the lounge Well, I now have a great recommendation for an eatery in charming Port d’Andratx: it’s called Nº11. We visited on a day wh ..read more

Looking for a restaurant in Mallorca that’s open all year – and is right by the Mediterranean? Stay Restaurant in Port de Pollença fits the bill. This restaurant has been a magnet for visitors and locals since 1972, although it looks different today thanks to a major renovation in 2006. Eighteen years on, it still looks contemporary.

Where to Eat in Felanitx – Estragon La Plaça
Eat, drink, sleep, Mallorca
by Jan Edwards
2M ago
When we first bought our rural Mallorca property in 2002, our finca’s previous owners helpfully left us a list of their favourite local eateries. Some of the restaurants on the list no longer exist but one we used to visit often is back in business – albeit with different owners, interior, and food concept. That restaurant is Estragon La Plaça in Felanitx. When we used to eat there, Anna and her husband, who was the chef, owned and ran it. They were there for more than 15 years until they sold the place. Current Owners Since November 2023 Since the beginning of November 2023, Felix Passow and ..read more

A Taste of Paris in Palma

A few tables outside Les Artistes on the pavement Who needs a trip to Paris for a taste of French cuisine? If travelling to France isn’t on the cards for you but the prospect of an authentic French onion soup or a hearty boeuf bourguignon appeals, head to Les Artistes, a cosy French bistro in the heart of Palma, Mallorca’s capital. By the time you’ve perused the menu and taken the first sip of your French beer or Château Bertinerie, you’ll almost believe you were in the ‘city of light’. The décor helps to achieve this feeling. Think of a French bistro you’ve seen in a movie and you’ll find sim ..read more
