Menu del Dia

[Tone]

Hi all of you We have never tried the Menu of the day. Someone who has experience and recommendations this summer?

Yes Tone, MDD is a great way of keeping costs down. Some places only do it at lunchtime but more and more are also doing evenings as well.

I personally think the El Posito 3 course lunch including bread, water and wine for 10€ is fantastic.

Stay's evening MDD, again 3 courses, bread, olives, water, wine, coffee and liqueur for 34.60€ great value.

Hell's Kitchen do a great 3 course MDD with 6 choices for each course including bread & olives and wine for around 16€.

Mirch Massala 3 course + wine for around 16€.

As ever - I've got to agree with Sparky the lunchtime Menu del Dia at El Posito is outstanding value.

For a more expensive evening option I'd recommend La Llonja - a bargain at €29. You can see the latest menu on offer here: Restaurant La Llonja

Then of course you have Tango, Trio and the new buffet at Tots plus many more. Always good value.

If you have transport then a visit to Menestralia (near Campanet - signposted from the motorway) is well worth a visit. Go in the week between 1pm and 4pm and you get all you can eat from an extensive buffet plus water, beer, soft drinks and a bottle of red (between 2) for under 10 euros. Its the best value I have found anywhere on the island.

Hi and thanks, We have a car for 2 weeks and will definitely try this restaurant. Sounds very interesting

MDD is a great way to try new eating experiences and to keep costs under control!

One thing to remember is that many restaurants may advertise it outside, but will only bring over the "normal" menu when you are seated. You will in most cases need to ask for the Menu del Dia, which they will then happily bring over.

Personally I think that Stay offers a really great deal. Fine dining, great food and a superb location. At 34.60€ it is a boozy and memorable night including,

Bread & Olives
Amuses Bouche
Starter
Mains
Desert
Coffee
Decent Bottle of Wine per couple
Complimentary "Short" to end the night

Go to most restaurants on the front and order the same and you will pay a small fortune.

Stay menu of the day

Hi all

Can't wait to come out again. 17th June and counting. Stay Restaurant is our favourite in the port. Always good value for money and never dissapoints, its our special evening out during our visits, and as someone said if you were to get all these things they offer in the menu at other restaurants it would cost a lot more. Happy holidays.

Last week Maxims were still offering a great evening mdd for 14.50 excluding drinks

Not sure how long it will be available though as for the last few years I am pretty sure they stopped it in high season

The Rustic Salad starter was excellent

I think we had a menu of the day at Maxims one evening in August last year

Definitely going to try Stay in October

Rosie they change the menu weekly and always post menus for the next 2 weeks on their website, you can see it here :- Stay Restaurant

The Chinese restaurants will offer MDD at around 8 euros including drink, not fine dining, put perfectly enjoyable food, if you have kids and they enjoy that type of food then it's a wonderfull way to keep your budget under control. Luna de Meil won't let you down.

Both Stay and La Llonja offer upmarket food and settings at reasonable prices. Every meal in these two restaurants feels like a special occasion with fresh linen table cloths and well turned out staff. With the newly strengthened Pound they offer very good value for money. Las Zarzoles offers a similar experience but at greater cost as I don't think they have a menu del dia in the evenings

 

[joey36]

Try TRIO - MDD about 16 euros Good food Good service Good value.

Definitely going to try Stay in October

You really should - Despite going to Pollensa for years, I had never been to Stay until recently. I always thought that it would be really expensive.

I was last over in May (around the time that you were there) and went three times in a fortnight.

It is great either inside or out, and they do have very effective outside heating if you are feeling brave in October!

MDD available and always good value at Brisa Marina ,Miguelons and Can Torrens....not sure if Can Josep stops MDD in the summer

 

[lollipop]

CathB, you are correct Can Josep has stopped his MDD for the summer.

Hi all of you We have never tried the Menu of the day. Someone who has experience and recommendations this summer?

One also to consider if you fancy an evening in Pollensa Old Town (please do this - It is a totally different experience to the Port) is El Brio.

Although off the main square, in a little square of its own, they do a great set-menu, at a very good price. Not big portions, but what it is, is very nicely done.

Perhaps have your meal here, and then walk down to the main square for a drink? You can enjoy the same atmosphere, but it is much cheaper than the "tourist prices" that you can pay in the square.

 

[El Gordo]

CathB, you are correct Can Josep has stopped his MDD for the summer.

I may be mistaken, but I am sure that I read somewhere that all restaurants were obliged to have a reasonably priced option "menu of the day" on the menu as part of the licencing process??
