Best Tapas 2011

[katsmum]

We always had our tapas fix at Neptuno but now that's it's closed where do members consider the next best place to go

Come on Katsmum - keep up with things. Haven't you seen the photo's; the updated NEPTUNO will be serving the best tapas in town. No need to look elsewhere!

 

[katsmum]

Has anyone tried the New Neptuno yet?

Hi katsmum

Most restaurants in the Port will have a tapas or racions section on their menu with things like chiperones, calamari, palma ham, pimientos padron to name a few.

My favourite place to go would be Stay, Centric (great chiperones!) or Maxims in the Port or in Pollensa, El Temple or a great little bar at the bottom of the Calvari. Cant think of the name but it is the first place on the right if you are standing at the bottom of the steps.

Debz,It's called Manzanas & Peras and I can confirm that they serve superb tapas.

Never eaten in the above place but it always looks very, very nice. Run by an English couple??

In relation to the new Neptuno's, will it be "authentic" tapas and not the "boil in a bag/out of a freezer kind" does anyone know?

Cheers.

The Cantina bit of La Llonga does great value lunchtime Tapas

We had some very good tapas this Easter at La Fonda restaurant in the old town - though it has kept the same name and decor it is actually under new ownership now (the family who run Bodega d'es Port in Alcudia). The tapas were really fresh and tasty and they also have a menu of larger Mallorcan dishes - and very good fresh fish which they bring round to your table. Very friendly staff - I can highly recommend.

I noticed quite a few restaurants in the old town now offering tapas - those at Bar Nou also sounded excellent, all home-made, though we didn't try them.

La Cabana or L'Almirant worth a try both great food.

Agree re l'Almirant - it may not be terribly, how shall I put this, cost effective....., but every morsel I had there last week was a tasty treat.

Their lunch menu for two is top drawer, while my mother-in-law enjoyed her chipirones.

Tidy sangria too as we watched the world go by, at some length.

La Cabana or L'Almirant worth a try both great food.

Been trying to go to La Cabana for the last 5 days but its been closed each time. On a positive note we did try the new Neptuno and were very impressed.

 

[Sparky]

I agree the new Neptuno is excellent.

 

[Doogz1874]

I agree the new Neptuno is excellent.

Thanks for recomending it! It was great to meet you in El Posito on Wednesday evening

 

[Sparky]

And nice to meet you too Doogz.

The latest on La Cabana is it will re-open on Tuesday. .... Although I'm afraid they will miss out on our custom for this trip. .... after another visit to the new Neptuno today I think we have found our new tapas restaurant

If you want somewhere that's a bit different that the usual 'tourist trail' I don't think you can get much better than the La Bodeguita bar at the junction of Roger de Flor and Levante (opposite the big car park)--it's got a great atmosphere, excellent tapas, free tapas samplers when you buy a drink--and, by the way, they do an excellent value three-course MOD for eight euros (and even better value two-course verison for 5 euros, probably the best value in the Port I guess)
