Corb Mari Closing

[James]

The owners of Corb Mari have announced that they are closing it after 20 years but that "the restaurant will continue in other hands". It's not clear whether it will remain Corb Mari or become something else. I remember the days when it was the Bec Fi!

I also remember it as Bec fi! IMO it was much better then.

Yes, used to belong to the Bou family, who built many of the apartment blocks in the East of PP

They also owned the hugely successful Rodeo Grill chain in Palma as well as La Fornarina prepared food shop, very near the main market.

Their downfall was mainly due to the purchase of the ice skating rink in Palma Nova, where they opened another Rodeo Grill and a discotheque.

Neither were as successful as had been envisaged, not helped by the 2008 financial crisis, which, in 2013, led to one of the sons falling from his 5th floor office in Palma.

According to rumours, an Alcudia based restaurant chain has taken it over.

Chains seem to be the way things are going with the food industry, and not only in Mallorca.

Not surprising taking into account the current economic and staff climate.
