Located next to the parish church of Sant Andreu de Santanyí, which is particularly busy on market days, Laudat occupies an old Mallorcan house with a particularly welcoming patio-terrace in the shade of a beautiful lemon tree. Choose between the simple, Mediterranean-inspired à la carte and a set menu featuring dishes taken from the former. We can highly recommend the veal tongue carpaccio with sautéed cabbage, capers and Tap de Cortí paprika.
WebsiteInside the charming Hotel Can Ferrereta (awarded two MICHELIN Keys) sits Ocre, a restaurant which tastefully combines Mallorcan aesthetics with a contemporary rustic design. In summer, the experience moves to the Mallorcan patio, an ideal place to enjoy a romantic evening under the stars. The Mediterranean-inspired cuisine is based on honest cooking that respects the ingredients. The chefs at the helm, Àlvar Albaladejo and Tamara Lumbreras, strive to highlight the quality of the seasonal ingredients, meticulously selected from the best local suppliers, in each dish.
