Meet some Chefs in Mallorca

2009-11-22T09:00:00.000+01:00

We met up with some of our favourite chefs in Mallorca at one of the many Food Fairs that we attended over the summer months. It was good to catch up with the incomparable Koldo Royo (he's been cooking up a storm in Rome), Biel Payeras chef at Jaume Restaurant in Deia, and Javier Soriano from Quely Catering. Javier is also a Gourmand Prize winner (He wrote a stunning book on Tapas). See this link for more Chefs in Mallorca

Restaurants in Palma de Mallorca

2009-11-21T09:00:00.000+01:00

Palma de Mallorca has become quite a bustling and 'happening' town - where you can shop, visit art galleries, and most importantly enjoy a fantastic variety of delicious food and drink!

As such, there is no shortage of restaurants which are mostly concentrated into two areas: La Llonja in the Old Town of Palma and Santa Catalina. At lunchtime, many restaurants offer a Menú del Día - which means a Menu of the Day (usually 3 courses with or without drink/tax from 8-22 euros per person).

Las Olas Restaurant, Port of Soller

2009-11-20T09:00:00.000+01:00

Chef Juan Vicens of Las Olas Restaurant in the Port de Soller showed us how he serves this typical Mallorcan dish - verderón is a fish from the Mediterranean sea - and it's served with fried red peppers - very tasty.

Mallorca Restaurants: Ca Na Toneta in Caimari

2009-11-17T09:00:00.000+01:00

A little while back we took a peak in the kitchen at Ca Na Toneta Restaurant in Caimari and found the cook Maria Solivellas preparing vast amounts of gorgeous looking tomatoes from the family gardens.

Mallorca Wines: Jaume de Puntiro Wine Estate

Jaume de Puntiró is a small wine estate in Santa Maria, Mallorca, which produces a range of organic wines. See the link for more information about this Mallorca Wine Estate

Mallorca Wines: Have you tried them yet?

2009-11-15T09:00:00.001+01:00

Mallorca has a history of wine production (the Greeks and Romans loved Mallorcan wines) which was all but wiped out by the blotrytis blight or 'noble rot' at the beginning of the 20th century. In the last few years however, wine production has been steadily increasing and now there are about 60 wine estates on Mallorca which produce around 300 wines. We can honestly say that there are some very, very tasty wines here - many wines have won prizes! See the link for more information about Mallorca Wines

Mallorca Olive Oil

2009-11-14T09:00:00.000+01:00

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a key ingredient in the Mediterranean kitchen. What many people don't know is that Mallorca now produces excellent olive oil and there are a variety of different brands to choose from, and they have been given a Denomination of Origin (like wines), so look out for the 'Oli de Mallorca'.

We are happy to see that many chefs in Mallorca are also using this product very creatively - for instance, Marc Fosh from Simply Fosh restaurant in Palma combines Olive Oil with chocolate and fruit berries for a stunning explosion of tastes and textures in the mouth! More about Mallorca Olive Oil here

Mallorca Food: Pa amb Oli

2009-11-13T09:00:00.000+01:00

Pa amb Oli literally means bread with oil - it is a simple dish, but very popular. Mallorcan bread (very like soda bread) is used - olive oil is spread on it, then a tomato is opened and spread over that. Add some cheese from Mahon (very tasty cheese from the neighbouring island of Menorca) and Jamon Serrano (ham). A lot of restaurants in Mallorca offer this typical dish, and you will find many varieties.

Duke Restaurant in Santa Catalina, Palma de Mallorca

2009-11-12T13:00:00.000+01:00

When a group of surfers friends got together and decided to open up a restaurant in the heart of Palma's restaurant centre that is Santa Catalina, it was an instant hit. At Duke restaurant you'll find good food, good ambience and a friendly bunch of people who will make your visit there very enjoyable.

Ronny is the chef at Duke Restaurant and here is a video of him preparing a yummy and healthy summer dish

Mallorca Food: Coca by Chef Carlos Blanco

2009-11-11T09:00:00.001+01:00

The Mallorcan 'Coca' is a typical dish which has as its base a biscuit - the chef's creativity comes into play with what is put on top of that base - normally it's tomato and vegetables.

In this case, chef Carlos Blanco from Casal Santa Eulalia in Can Picafort, showed us how he serves his Coca Mallorquina

Mallorca Restaurants: Es Moli d'en Bou in Sa Coma

2009-11-10T09:00:00.003+01:00

Es Molí den Bou Restaurant has moved from Sant Llorenç des Cardassar to the area of Sa Coma.

The owner and chef Tomeu Caldentey and his team have settled in nicely to this larger and lighter space - and it's nice to see Tomeu and his team through the crystal glass as you walk in to the dining room.

New features include the large open air terrace which is open for dinner guests as well as a lounge / bar area for before or after dinner drinks. Read more about Es Moli den Bou Restaurant (in the picture: Juan, Maria and Tomeu)

The Delicious Mallorcan Ensaimada

2009-11-09T09:00:00.002+01:00

Anyone visiting the island of Mallorca has probably tried the traditional ensaimada. Usually sweet, it's a great accompaniment to the popular 'café con leche'. We had the pleasure of trying a rather special ensaimada made with the typical sobrassada - which lends it a savoury flavour and a reddish colour - see more about the Mallorcan Ensaimada

Es Vi Restaurant, Castillo Hotel Son Vida

2009-11-08T19:09:00.003+01:00

Meet the team at Es Vi Restaurant in 5 star Castillo Hotel Son Vida in Mallorca. We enjoyed a tasting menu out on the terrace prepared by the all female kitchen headed by chef Caty Pieras.

Over 200 Mallorca Restaurants Profiled

2009-04-13T12:10:00.003+02:00

It's been quite an intense five years of investigation for us! We have got to know so many excellent Mallorca Restaurants and their chefs. We have learned a lot about the gastronomy and culture of this island - and it really does have a lot to offer - from all that is grown and produced here (almonds, olives, figs, oranges, lemons, tomatoes, potatoes, artichokes, cabbage, asparagus and much more) to the huge variety of seasonal fish and seafood available, as well as the lamb and pork delicacies (sobrassada is the sausage that is traditionally made from the Mallorca black pig). The cheeses are very tasty - made on the island from sheep and goat's milk. You won't find too many cows here anymore, but we have spotted the odd ones on our travels! Wines are also a fabulous find - there are now about 300 wines produced on Mallorca, and many have won awards here and abroad. You'll find a variety of Mallorca Wines offered in the over 200 Mallorca Restaurants that we have profiled on SkyBlue Mallorca: the most complete Food & Wine guide for Mallorca. Enjoy!
