[Tone]

Hi all friends, we will be back this summer, so I can not post for 2011 yet. But I remmber O'Lume, which was the best in 2009

 

[Belladonna]

Weather not so kind for our visit, but out of the restaurants visited, our top 5 evening ones are; (hubbys choices next to mine)

1.(1) OLume – excellent service, lovely food, no tv! Separate write up to follow.

2.(3) Casinet – modern décor, vast choice of food, MDD €16 wine not included, let itself down by two smokers!

3.(4) Stay – too noisy inside, service rushed. Always top for lunch though!

4.(2) Brisas Restaurant. – MDD €15 ex wine.

5.(5) Cappuccinos – loved it, but just too expensive.

I will post separate write ups on individual restaurants in more detail.

Right here goes, may change when we return in the summer but as of Easter

1. Bellavista Pension, without doubt the best food we have had in the port

2. Tiberi, Shock, down to second place but still great food and service from them.

3. La Cabana, New restaurant but great food and great service, with a view of the bay, will return for a full dinner next time.

4. Manduca, great food and service, will return again in the summer

5. Dragon Oriente, chinese on the formentor road, very good food and service, the lady couldn't of helped us more and cooked us some veggie stuff not on the menu.

Thanks mate

 

[Tone]

Hi SWS did you try O'Lume this time?

 

[sws97sdg]

Hi Tone, how are you? No I didn't again, still, going for two weeks in the summer so I may try to fit them in, so many good restaurants to try thats the problem

 

[Tone]

Hi again, we will be back this summer as well, for 2 weeks, really look forward to come back. I will keep an eye on this thread

 

[sws97sdg]

Just bumping this back up, any more top fives, a few more of you have been out now?

After a week with great weather (and free sunbeds) last week my MIL/FIL returned with the following verdict about their top 5 restaurants in PP.

1. Stay (because of it's position and of course the food because of the wide range of choices on the menu not to mention the excellent service)

2. Celler la Parra (because of the old style atmosphere and the personal attention we get from the 2 brothers and the cooking skills that come from the kitchen)

3. Tango's

4. Ca'n Josep

5. Hell's Kitchen (which was OK but could do better)

 

[mwc]

Know it is very early days yet but as thet stand at the moment:

1st. Stay 20 points
2nd. O'Lume 10 points
3rd. Los Zarzaries 7 points
4th. Bellavista Pension 5 points
Joint 5th. Tango, Tolos, Casinet, El Posito, Tiberi & Cellar La Parra 4 points.

My top 5 based on our 12 days this month, and its only my opinion!

1. Bella Vista Pension - great unusual veggie food - nice and laid back (almost 'hippy'!)

2 Trencadora - Lovely setting and good food

3 Fletchers (soon to be 'Citrus) - Good food and value

4 Trio - Good food and value

=5 La Roca - Lovely setting and OH enjoyed trying the guitars and the impromptu concert!
La Piazza - Good food and value

These are different from last October, so things could change again later in the year! We are going for longer and in an apartment so will most likely eat out a lot more.

 

[mwc]

Come on people, is nobody eating out this year.

 

[jiggggy]

Ok, here's my top 5

1. Stay (No surprise there. Fantastic food, service and location)
2. Little Italy (Best pizzas in the port IMO)
3. Tiberi (Best chips in the port the kids say, plus my cubed suckling pic was brill. Great atmosphere too)
4. Manduca
5. Laroc

It was true what people said. The restaurants seem to have more time for you in early season, or was it that they felt sorry for us due to the rain

 

[scotslizzy]

Have not been yet but will report back

I will be out next Wednesday and will do a report on my return but if things have not changed much then I imagine I will go with my usual favourites which are;

Stay
La Lonja
El Posito
Los Zarzaels
And ...... now that will be the one that will be the issue as I fancy going to ..go on help me out !

And if anyone has had a meal in La Lonja latley I would be interested in hearing about it .

[Hamcas]

Sorry for delay, just got round to posting votes for May visit. As wife and I couldn't agree on order she has insisted on casting her own vote (would you believe it, votes for women, whatever next?)

1) Stay. Would you believe this was our first visit to Stay after approx 30 visits to PP. Food excellent, service excellent, setting excellent.

2) O'Lume. Same reasons as above, but it was a little chilly to sit in courtyard in May.

3) La Goleta. Excellent food & service with lovely view when the moon reflects off the sea. Crepes suzette to die for.

4) Los Zarzales. Would normally be higher up list but the night we went in only one waitress on with Yolande and service was very slow. Food as good as ever though.

5) Tango. Food good, welcome from Manolo excellent, service excellent and view from window table fantastic.


The votes from Mrs Hamcas as follows:

1) Tango. Manolo dashed to open taxi door for her, showed us to the best seats in centre of window overlooking bay ( I said I arranged that but didn't really, but what the heck, I got a few brownie points), it was our first night there and suckling pig fantastic.

2) Stay. MDD @ 33.80 was worth every penny, setting & service excellent.

3) O'Lume. Crayfish starters are brilliant, Jaime is a great host, thoroughly enjoyable evening, just wish a few more people would use this hidden gem.

4) La Goleta. Same reasons as hubby, just love the place.

5) Los Zarzales. Couldn't fault the food, up to their usual high standard but on this occasion the service let them down which is most unusual.

We would both have probably had Ca'n Josep in there somewhere but on the night we tried to go they had a large party in so went elsewhere, pity.

That ends the voting from the Hamcas'

The results of the B family are in, and they are as follows:

1. O Lume - you need to go a long way to find food and service of this quality at these prices. Still our favourite by miles. Had two very memorable evenings last week. Jaime, you are a legend!

2. C'an Josep - they will bend over backwards, jump through hoops and perform cartwheels to accommodate. Good food, nice atmosphere, top bloke.

3. Brisa Marina - great fish and seafood, and the meat is surprisingly good too. Extremely reasonable prices.

4. El Mojito - ate here for the first time this year and was very pleasantly surprised. Excellent value and good quality MDD.

5. El Posito - drops to number 5 as we didn't eat here this year. Sent 3 emails in good time trying to make a reservation for 15 people but didn't get a response. You missed out on 300 - 400 euros of our hard-earned, guys.

As they stand so far this year.

1st. Stay - 30 points

2nd. O' Lume - 22 points

3rd. Los Zarzales - 12 points

Joint 4th. Tango - 10 points

Joint 4th. Bella Vista Pension - 10 points

Please on your return don't forget to post YOUR top 5.
