We were wondering if anyone knows if you can walk to the restaurant from Puerto Pollensa? Realise that the walk is a steep one but we'd like to try rather than take a taxi. Any help would be appreciated .

You could but it is a long walk 
google maps suggests 14 km and nearly 3 hours (each way
).
see if this link works on the new google maps:

We went by car and it took twenty minutes. Fabulous meal out on the terrace, looking over the bay to Puerto Pollensa, on a summers evening, it was fabulous.

Try cycling, we do it in the summer, only about an hour, allowing for beer stops, of cause longer on the way back!!

Yes it is a long walk, especially if the weather is hot. Its not particularly steep, in fact it's very flat until the last couple of kilometres which are reasonably steep.
If you want to walk part way, just get the bus to Alcudia Old Town - or a stop well on the way to Alcudia Old Town - and walk from there. The buses from P.P. to Alcudia are very regular, about every ten or fifteen minutes. If you get desperate you can always get a taxi back, they will order one for you at La Victoria restaurant.
I have only been by car, though I've seen many people of all ages (literally 18 to 80) arrive there by cycle from P.P. In fact one couple I met - both in their 80's - cycled from P.P. to La Victoria and then set off to the top of the nearby mountains with views over the vast Bay of Alcudia. Made me feel a bit of a fake arriving there by car!
The views in the other direction, towards P.P. / Formentor / the Cape (far north east of Mallorca) are also magnificent, either by day or by night, and the trip to La V. is very, very worthwhile. Enjoy.

Wow !!. No one loves walking more than me but even I would not entertain that. By the time you got there you'd be so tired ( not my word of choice but close)
that you'd be asleep in 5 minutes.Re comments about the views, No words can do them justice. Once seen never forgotten.

How many stops are possible from Puerto Pollensa to the restaurant?

That would depend on your back street knowledge of local watering holes. If you know a few, chances are you'd lose count, but if you know a lot then you'd lose consciousness

I'm with pollesafan on this - not an walk to do in the heat. I cycled up there last year and I think it took a good 50 minutes and I had to stop for a breather although I pretended I was taking photos (not being a regular cyclist!) Fantastic views across the bay but walking all the way from PP would certainly take a few hours.
Just entered it into Google Maps and it says it's 14km and takes 3 hours
Would love to share one or two of the images but can't fathom out how to insert images onto the forum - is it possible?

It certainly is and hopefully you're better at it than I am, then I may get to see them before I die of old age

It's a nice view from up there on a clear day

Well, we head along the coast road and stop in Alcudia old town, so plenty of places there, then on to Mal pas again lots of places there, then the chill-out bar restaurant Cinco Ocenos, a must stop!!

Not sure what type of walk you are after but from the Port to the top is a very long walk.
A better idea is to get to the restaurant by car then if you go to the back of the car park you will see a massive walks guide with 3 different length walks including one back down into Alcudia, I have run all 3 over the years ,they are all clearly marked with magnificent views.

I don't have a Flickr account so it seems I can't post the images, thought it would be possible to upload photos from your own computer, but it appears not!
Hope your not too old - might be able to upload at some time in the future

It doesn't have to be flickr, any site that host's pictures will do it as far as I know

Yes there are lots to choose from, most free to start with, search for photo hosting in google and there are loads, you just need to be able to use BB code (you dont need to know what that is!!) instead of using direct links as that is not allowed on this forum, its fairly easy if you follow the instructions here!
