Bar Coral

[holidaymaker]

Bar Coral is our favourite cafe in the Pine Walk area. We now rent a villa on the Pine Walk & just need to walk along the front & down a side street (it is near the Marina end.) I'll try & found out the exact location when we go again end this month. We generally ate there at lunchtime - the plate of mixed tapas is my favourite. It's a relaxed & friendly place.

i would second this.
Bar Coral is owned and run by Pedro and his wife Anna.
As you walk along the beautiful pine walk form the centre of the resort towards the hotel illiador you will find the bar up a short side street on the left hand side (i think it is only a short walk past Katies bar and the Coach house.
well worth a visit, excellent value and Pedro and Anna are first class!

PS..this is by far the most beautiful area of one of majorca's classiest resorts.

We ate there several times again this year & it is just as good. It is in Avenue Bochoris which runs between Paseo Voramar (Pine Walk) & C/Formentor. The place is always busy, particularly at lunchtimes. Basically they offer good mallorquin home cooking from a plate of mixed tapas to sardines to pa amb oli to lamb casserole. The price is average about 2000+ pts for a decent meal

And we thought this was our little secret. We've been going to Coral for a few years now and always get a great welcome. Sardines and Sangria is a favourite and Pedro and Ana always supply a plate of bread, olives and garlic mayonnaise, it's delicious.

and I thought that a pint and the home-made beef burger were my secret. Great place. Don't spread it about too much!

i agree, Bar Coral is the best! Just a wee correction, Anna is not Pedros wife, she is his sister in law. My family have been going to Puerto Pollenca for 30 years, and just keep going back. I am 31 and have never been anywere else!

My family and I thought it was our secret too!

Nobody has mentioned the Laroc opposite (Coral spelt backwards!) run by Ana's husband (and Pedro's brother) Jordi which serves great pizza, pasta, salad and steak dishes.

The family are especially friendly and as someone aged 24 I have been going to Pollensa every year since I was one year old. It's one of the best locations on the island.

On a recent holiday to Puerto Pollensa we went to Bar Coral almost every other night! The food is lush and their chips are the greatest!! But best of all is the young, dark haired Spanish bar-man!! Unfortunately I didn't catch his name but my Mum did get a few photos!! (Gulp!!) Bar Coral is a lovely place, reasonably priced food with a friendly service. Keep it up!

If you go to Bar Coral make sure you try the Rabbit Casserole. Its terrific! Mixed tapas are the best lunch in the resort as well. I have been going there for most of my life, am 31 now, have been going to pollensa for 28 years. Anna from Bar Coral came over to scotland for a holiday with my mum n dad about 20 yrs ago, but she didnt teach us how to make those amazing chips!

Coral & Laroc

The Coral and Laroc are certainly one of the best combinations for food and local hospitality in the Port. Who has had an accident?

Thanks for the news. My family and I know Jordi, Pedro, Mama and family well. Glad to hear he is getting better.

Sorry to disagree, but tried the mixed tapas here on website recommendation, and found it *very* disappointing, and not at all authentic. If you want great tapas, head for Capdepera (on the road to Arta, where the wonderful caves are, SE of the island), and have tapas at the cafe in the village square. Sublime!

 

[Pollensa Fan]

Tried Bar Coral on internet recommendations. Sorry to upset the loyal followers, but the gentleman who said the mixed tapas is not authentic is spot on. If the average Brit was served octopus, squid, clams, liver or tongue they'd run a mile. Hence the tapas served in the Bar Coral is aimed exclusively at the British pallet and bears no resemblance to authentic Spanish cuisine.

To the people who say they serve the best chips you'll get anywhere, I assume you've eaten chips in every bar/restaurant in the resort?

To anyone who loves authentic spanish tapas, nip about 200 yds to the Bar Neptuno just off the main square - where an average of 15 to 20 varieties are on offer every day - but be warned "squeamish Brits" need not bother - and this is from someone born and bred within the sound of bow bells!

Hi Pollensa Fan

All I can say Pollensa Fan is that I think we must be related. We think exactly the same. Although this is a pleasant enough place if you want a snack and watch "authentic Mallorquin" dancing, it is not Mallorquine in any way other than geographic. However, many people want that, and good luck to them.
More room for you and me at Balaixa.
Also try Can Cuarassa along the bay going towards Alcudia. I think you'll enjoy it.

Just when I thought I was surrounded by food philisteins, out of the ether you appear to restore my faith in mankind.

Would like to see you at Balaixa in November, but unfortunately having just returned late September no can do! Usually manage twice a year - April and September, although if I had my way I'd go there and stay. For truely it is my spiritual home. Most people go on hols for 2 weeks, whereas I go "home" for 2 weeks.

I note you feel we must be related - I sincerely hope not, because a burden like that you should not have to carry!!

Intended to try Can Cuarassa in September, but ran out of time. However, now you've recommended it will definitely go there next time.

For now, hope you have a great time in November and I raise a glass to your spirit.

Best Tapas

have to agree with comments about tapas at Bar Coral, we went once several years ago and have never returned
Tapas at Neptune excellent, also try El Posito, where Vicente and family excel. The absolute best mussels we have ever tasted.
