A restaurant that is continually on the up thanks to chef Macarena de Castro (Maca), who has become increasingly committed to sustainability and supports a policy of reafforestation. Located on the first floor of a villa-style building, the restaurant features a dining space with a modern, avant-garde ambience that it shares with the Jardín Bistró (on the ground floor, with a format that is a little easier on the pocket). The single surprise tasting menu is both creative and inspired by the Mediterranean, with a focus on the best seasonal ingredients that Mallorca has to offer, most of which a

WebsiteA popular restaurant thanks to its creative cuisine showcased on several menus (including a vegetarian option) that champion sustainable ingredients produced on 365’s own farm estate (different oils, citrus fruit, vegetables, wine etc).
WebsiteA restaurant with a relaxed ambience and a sustainable ethos where the menu changes almost daily depending on what’s available from the island’s small-scale producers. The cuisine here is prepared without chemicals or additives, and is based around zero-mile ingredients and zero waste. Chef David Rivas, who enjoys explaining and adding the finishing touches to dishes at your table, champions market-inspired cuisine with a strong focus on the grill on an à la carte and two tasting menus (Omakase and 1/2 Omakase). A small selection of daily specials is also an option.
WebsiteA family-run restaurant with lots of personality that is as popular as ever with customers, occupying the charming stone house in which Miceli’s female chef was born. Taking its name from the filaments (mycelia) that mushrooms use to extract nutrients from the soil, it features delightful facilities, in particular the idyllic terrace, partially covered by a glass porch and boasting superb views. The chef enjoys passing from table to table to greet guests and to explain her updated take on traditional Mallorcan cuisine, which changes daily in line with market availability. Choose between the à
WebsiteThis restaurant, whose name pays a small tribute to grandmother Toneta, is well run by two sisters and surprises by dividing the experience between two houses (in the first, they even have a small shop selling select local products). The proposal, which reflects authenticity and genuine devotion to seasonal Mallorcan cuisine, revolves around a single tasting menu that changes according to the season (we particularly liked one of the starters, their pumpkin flower, tender leaves, cherries and almonds). Don't miss the charming main terrace, partially covered with vines and featuring beautiful ha
