Well, my mate and I have some serious business to discuss ( the relative seasonal prospects of Yorkshire and Middlesex cricket clubs ) so we agree to meet, along with our better halves, at Restaurante Cocodrilo
It's kinda La Victoria for acrophobics ( Jane, you could cope with this one !!!) based at the Marina Bonaire with marvellous views from the restaurant across Pollensa Bay towards Formentor.
In fact it's so close to sea level they are constructing a new sea wall and defences around the place. So every few minutes our enjoyment of the view is interrupted by a large dumper truck depositing the most enormous boulders you've ever clapped eyes on. Fortunately , here, everything stops for lunch ,so normal visionary service is soon restored.
Very extensive fish menu, it all looks so fresh and delicious. Huge table beside us is filled with relaxing various militiamen who have been on an large excercise for the Spanish MOD in the Alcudia area for the last couple of days.Plates of squid appear,followed by an enormous pan of paella. Having consumed this a refill was brought, all washed down with chilled white rioja.
Ashamed to say , both BLT and I opted for the lamb cutlets but the Dorados enjoyed by our dining companions was divine they said ( or rather bloody champion !!!! being of good Yorkshire stock).
Highly recommendable and well worth the short run around there. Charming local couple run it ( Manolo appeared at one stage with some beans freshly picked from their finca garden )
We finished lunch with a stroll around the lovely little marina in the brilliant sunshine, perfect end to a very enjoyable couple of hours.
Give it a try ( the rocks will soon all be in place now by the look of it )
