My Restaurant Choices 2011
Just returned from “eating around Puerto Pollensa” and these are my preferences:
1. La Llonja
My new favourite this year, last year this wouldn’t have been my top choice. We enjoyed 2 excellent meals here this year where the food and service (attentive but unobtrusive) were second to none. The location is perfect for relaxing and enjoying a perfect meal.
2. Stay
Last year’s favourite. This year although we had excellent food on both occasions, the second time we visited (no the Friday) things were a little chaotic; we had to ask for our wine several times and had nearly finished our starters by the time it came. Having said that the staff were excellent and I love the fact the owner maintains a “hands on” approach, no matter how busy and never fails to get around everyone to ask if they are enjoying their food.
3. Trio
This place is so underrated, but their menu of the day is such good value - where else can you get a 3 course meal for 2 including a botle of wine, water, bread and olives for 38 euros. Their salmon and prawn salad was my favourite starter of the holiday. We always come here on the first night of the holiday and are never disappointed. Would visit more than once, but there are too many other choices out there.
4. Maxim
Someone previously mentioned that it’s a lot better out of season and I agree. 4 years ago we visited in May and this was our favourite restaurant, we ate here 4 times. Sad I know, but the menu has lots of lovely choices and it has a lovely interior to eat in under the threat of rain! This year we really enjoyed ourselves again and I finally had the Thai green curry I’ve been meaning to have for years!
5. Guru
Great food from this little restaurant as always, although it does take a while to come. We highly recommend the sea bream and the pork wrapped in bacon.
