Coming over to PP next week to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
Have researched and read many posts on this forum but am still undecided on which restaurant to book for our anniversary date.
I am quite happy to pay the going rates at the high end restaurants as it is a special occasion,BUT not keen on small portions of beautifully presented food that means you leave hungry.
Hoping you kind folk on here could give me some options
Thanks
 
Hard too see past stay for such an occasion for the setting alone but just my opinion
 
Thanks Gers

Guessed that Stay would be recommended.

May be a stupid question but is the Menu of the Day available in the evenings or is it a lunch time / early evening option only.
 
Yes the set menu is available all day in Stay Restaurant so no problems there.

You might also like to consider their sister restaurant, Ca'n Cuarassa too for a posh evening out.

The MDD is available in the evenings and is very good value but i am a bit concerned that if you have a big appetite it might not satisfy you, for me it is plenty but i don't eat big meals :).
 
Yes - Stay is a lovely setting but I had difficulty finding anything on the menu I fancied! I think I managed to find a chicken item which was delicious, but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed overall as we had booked it for our wedding anniversary. But as with all the restaurants - it's all down to personal preference and one man's meat etc.....;)
 
I would go to Los Zarzales and sit in the courtyard very romantic at night you know you are going to get great service and superb food.

And even better if you get a night when they have live entertainment, I can't recall what night(s) they have it, even though I've spent about 4 holidays overlooking their courtyard!
 
I agree, Las Zarzales will be a good choice, much more intimate, if that's what you want, Stay could be rather busy for a quiet dinner for two, cant comment on the food as we have not eaten there, lack of veggie options, but the food, and portions at Las Zarzales are excellent!!

First of all, welcome to the forum :)

I would say to draw up a short list of restaurants based on opinions and reviews here and then when you arrive go for a walk and read the menus.

The mistake we made when 'newbies' was to book based on reviews then arrive for our night out and not fancy anything at all on the menu:rolleyes:

Also remember that the best food and service are not always at the restaurants on the seafront with the best views.

Only a handful of restaurants get mentioned and reviewed here and everyone's opinion is different and some of the restaurants that get poor reviews occasionally are very good when we visit them:confused:

There is so much great food to explore that you could have every anniversary here.

I don't think they open the courtyard until late May or June, Corb Mari could be another option
 
I have not eaten in the Corb Mari because i was told that the portions are huge and i have not got a big appetite but many people i know say that the food is very good. If you do try it please post a review, it is another restaurant that we don't tend to hear about on the forum so the info will be very useful :).

Are there still flamenco shows on at Las Zarzales and if so on which night. Did check their website but could see no info.
 
It just goes to show how different we all are, I too would suggest Stay as an option. Other than there Clivia (Pollensa town) or La Lonja (upstairs on terrace). I struggle to choose as there is so much I do like at Stay. We have only been once to Los Zarzales and I was very disappointed it was one of our more expensive meals and the service was terrible and to be honest the food not a lot better. We went on a flamenco night and despite reading lots of very good reviews would not go again.
 
So many decent restaurants in PP, but over a long period of time I have not heard of anyone being let down by 'Tango' - both at the present Llenaire location and certainly not at their previous location (a long time ago now) just off the main square.
Still research to do before you choose!
Very difficult if you stray away from 'Stay' as one might say! (Lots of choice).
 
We have never once had any sort of complaint while eating in Tango in either location. MDD is certainly good value and the service is always welcoming and efficient. No doubt we will pay it a visit while over in July:) A window table is a must though;)
 
I would recommend La Llonja or C'an Cuarassa. I've always found Stay chaotic and a bit disappointing. I don't think Los Zarzales is in the same league as the three mentioned above. The last couple of times we've been, the food has resembled what I can only imagine you'd be served in a health farm; and you pay over the odds for it. If you don't mind a 20 minute taxi ride, then La Terazza in Alcanada is probably the best of the lot.
 
I would agree with the comments about Tango. Always great good, good service and good value. Lovely if you book a table near the window.

Not eaten at Stay though, looks a bit 'fussy' for me!
