[deniseall]

Are all cafes still closed?

 

[Sparky]

Yes, except for takeaways .

Arux was doing a roaring trade today!

That’s great Marcelo is working hard to keep the place viable

The homemade individual quiches are really good .

It has been announced that the bars and restaurants may open the terraces until 5:00 p.m. from March 2 but with 50% capacity.

That's good then.....better than here! You just wonder how many will bother though, as its not going to make them much money.

Still sad that’s there’s no Little Italy now�� Has anyone seen if the restaurant is opening up under the new management yet?

I'm not a doom - monger, but it occurs to me that the buildings next to Little Italy (towards town) were recently demolished and replaced by new apartments. This sort of development has been going on in various locations along the Pine Walk over recent years. I wonder if there are plans to redevelop the Little Italy site and adjacent buildings on the Illa d'dor side of the site in a similar way?

Just a thought.

p.s. need to know who to speak to to put my name down in the waiting list for a new apartment.

From what I have heard Juan still owns the freehold of Little Italy and it will be re-opened by a relative of his (I think maybe a nephew).

You wouldn't imagine that anyone would give up that Freehold easily....its only a matter of time before something opens up there.

Whilst perhaps 'Vultures' would be the wrong word, there will be a line of people eyeing up the best vacant spots to snap up a great deal and open a new business, when things start opening back up. Timing will be everything!

 

[Disorderly]

Sad but true. The unfortunate business owners, forced by the pandemic and close their established businesses will be readily replaced by a new set of investors once things open up again.

I think that can be said about PP even pre pandemic. Every time a restaurant shut it didn't take long for the site to be filled again.

 

[Disorderly]

Well let us hope that there are sufficient tourists to support these ventures. Once again, from a Mallorcan perspective, 2021 is going to be a season to forget.

 

[P&C@29]

We are really pleased that Arux just off square is open I would say this is the best place for coffee and snacks near the square, virtually a one man band which opened just weeks before the pandemic hit, but Marcelo and his young family are doing their best to keep going.

Sparrow Dining and Bar is sadly now closed permanently. The owners of the building are not renewing the lease because they want to change it's use.

However the good news is that Lorna and Pepe will be moving to Ikebana next year , wishing them all the luck in the world .

Sadly they did not open this year and have decided to call it quits, such a loss to PP .

 

[Sparky]

They have posted this on FB.

Good morning,
It is with deep regret that after lots of thought Pepe and I have decided that due to the current climate we will not take the chance to move Sparrow to Ikebana to start a new venture . We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported us at Sparrow Dining & Bar throughout the years and we move forward with fond and happy memories of our time there. We have met many lovely people and made some life long friends along the way. We wish you all well for the future and hope that you will continue to make precious memories in this beautiful resort. To all fellow businesses, we wish you every success going forward.
Kind Regards
Lorna & Pepe

It is indeed a great loss. I thought they would been a great fit for the Ikebana.
