Centric in the Old Town appears to be doing really well - as it's so amazingly warm for late October, and the Square is such a beautiful location, we thought we'd give it a try yesterday evening. We were to be honest a little underwhelmed. We weren't given an amuse-bouche, which I seem to remember was very good in the Port - though maybe this no longer happens there either? My daughters ordered focaccia to start - quite a small portion for 3.80, with only three little pieces of bread. I chose the special bruschetta selection as some of the bruschetta available sounded very interesting. What I received was fresh and tasty, but all three bruschetta were rather ordinary flavour combinations largely featuring tomato - not quite what I expected from the other exotic combinations on offer. My husband did enjoy his baked aubergine starter. His suckling pig was delicious too, but what a tiny portion! - not much more than starter size. My main course was also a little disappointing - Argentinian sliced steak which was supposed to come with chimichurri but was in fact served with a bowl of sweet chilli sauce - not as advertised, and not the spicy hot and punchy dish I had been expecting. My daughter tells me her lasagne was OK, 'a bit like you cook at home' (so not that great really!), and nothing like as good as Casa Vila's. Daughter no.2 ordered tofu with noodles and said it tasted great but was stingy with the tofu. One aspect of the meal that impressed was the service - the staff were extremely helpful, took time to explain each dish and clearly cared about the customer. In this case it was the food that let the restaurant down - it just wasn't quite good enough, and with so many other lovely places to eat in the Old Town it's unlikely that we will return.
, they are opening a second restaurant in Pollensa, it will be in the square and I am sure will be very successful.
