This restaurant occupies a typical 200-year-old house on the approach to Es Migjorn Gran in the centre of the island. It features an interior with a rustic-contemporary feel, plus an attractive patio-terrace that can only be booked for dinner. Here, the culinary focus is on simple, honest cooking with interesting French-inspired touches and dishes based around the best market-fresh local ingredients. We can highly recommended the surf and turf carpaccio with scallops, which comes as a pleasant surprise!
