I know I´m a newbie on the forum, but could I suggest that maybe the list could be expanded to include the best 7 or even 10 ?

Most people seem to dine out every evening and the normal stay here can be anything from 10 days to 2 weeks, so they have an ample opportunity to sample the wares of quite a few more than 5 restaurants.

This would allow the "nearly made it" restaurants to appear on the list giving us dejected gourmets more material to read whllst our Lidl pizza is heating up in the microwave.

Just got back from PP and really missed not having Siller to include this year, however our top 5 were;
1. Los Zorzales
2. Nu Rainxa
3. La Bodeguita
4. Daina
5. Sinbad.

To be fair we had a big variation in prices for our meals. Went to La Bodeguita for Tapas night, great fun, great food and wine and only spent 18euro for both of us!
Also don't know if Daina dining room buffet dinner is only open to residents? It is very good.

We have eaten in various PP restaurants over the months of January, April, June and August this year. We prefer daytime lunches rather than do evening meals.

Our top five are
1. BrisaMarina
2. Cellar la Parra
3. Las Brisas
4. Osteria No 15
5. Velomar

We could have added many others where we enjoyed the lunchtime ambience and friendliness - The Pines, Coral, Laguna, c'an Cuarrassa, can Josep, Swing, Siurells, Hotel Llenaire, Mar y Sol, Bodeguita, La Vall, etc etc. PP has such a great selection of places each with their own style and budget and we find we have favourite dishes we love in each.

1.La Llonja. baffles us how it can be so consistent.

2. Cellar La parrer, fantastic as always.

3. Corb Mari, best meat in town.

El posito, cannot be beaten at lunchtime,quality no nonsense comestibles.

5.La Bodegueta, same reason as above brilliant Tapas.

Our top five from July/Aug are:

1. Na Ruixa - lovely food and service
2. Portofino - first time visit, lovely courtyard garden, brilliant value
3. Trattoria de Razza - another first, great value and bustling atmosphere
4. Tiberi - always one of our favourites
5. Nicos - very efficient service and tasty food

We ate out every night for two weeks, plus a few lunches. the only meal I didn't enjoy was Centric which was a shame because it is normally great, but I made the mistake of not booking so they squeezed us in inside, but clearly they were too busy, so service was poor. Such a shame, I wish they'd just said they were full. After that we made sure to always book tables at least one night ahead. It was busy everywhere this year

Where abouts is Portfolio,not sure about that one? TIA

 

[CharlieV]

It's on Carrer Joan XX111, the entrance is almost directly opposite the Eroski City supermarket. I think it used to be something else (O`lume maybe?). Pizzas are cheapest I've seen in the port, and very good too.

 

[Nick]

I'd hazard a guess he means "Portofino"?

 

[CharlieV]

Yes, Portofino. Sorry.
Predictive text strikes again...

It's always hard to just choose five restaurants as there are so many good ones. Here are my choices

1) Bahia (delicious food and continued professional service always with a smile)
2) Centric (superb service and some good dishes with a twist)
3) little Italy (fish platter see their Facebook for images and salt baked sea bass cannot be beaten - has to be ordered the day before to make sure that eg lobster, cuttlefish etc can be obtained)
4) Tiberi (always a warm welcome, atmosphere and good meal at moderate price)

Didn't make it to firm favourite Can Curassa this year sadly.

Looking forward already to memorable meals in 2017.

Top 5 Eateries

Well here we are again - goodness doesn't time fly!!

Some good nights out, and some good hospitality provided from places where we were just having a couple of coffees.

4th "Bar Rumbo" Never been there before - great Tapas from a very friendly barman (Owner??) - enjoyed it a lot, so went again -just as good 2nd time.

3rd "The Tapas Tree" Went for lunch - 5 adults and 3 children - brilliant. Great range of Tapas, all very tasty, and nothing was too much trouble for the kids. Lingered for about an hour and a half, and the bill was still very reasonable. Will definitely try an evening there in the future.

2nd "Hibiscus" In all the years I had never had Frito Mallorquina - but I certainly have now. Fabulous - delicious, and followed by beautifully cooked Turbot - will be back there again next visit. The service was excellent too.

1st "Tango" - went first night and last night - had Menu Del Dia on first occasion - just had to order Roast Suckling Pig - beautiful. On second visit, on wife's birthday 3 of us had fillet steak (1 rare, 1 med-rare, 1 Medium), and son Chris had a gianormous T-bone Steak ( Medium ) - all arrived at same time and all were perfectly cooked . My wife had the Salmon which was pronounced "fabulous". And all provided with the great service we have experienced there for many years now.

Worthy of mention:- "Laroc" - super Pizza takeaways, kids and adults loved them, and a great price too. "Casa Manolo" - just had coffees and a few beers - all provided with great cheeriness, and the prices are brilliant, in some instances less than half the prices charged in other outlets across the square.
And to cleanse the palate, Fish and Chips for me, and Cheese Burger for Mrs. T in "Joker" - nicely cooked and pleasant service.

Roll on the next trip.

 

[Tommo]

Nice report Tango.
We get there next week for our yearly treat.
We are going to try Rumbo as it has good reviews.
You also mention some of our favourites.
Manolos.
Joker.
And of course Tango.

 

[marilyn]

Great Report Tangoman. We have not been to Hibiscus for years. We love Frito and miss the Turbot we used to get at O Lume so will give it another go when we are out next month.
