Restaurants serving vegetarian food

Hi Tone mate, long time, are you heading over to PP this year?
 
Just to concur, Laroc does lovely pasta dishes....but think best pizzas in PP must be Little Italy!
 
Scacco Matte in the old town (in the square next to the main road) is a lovely Italian with veggie choices of pizza and pasta. Very affordable, too.
 
IMHO the best pizzas in the area are in the town from Ca n'Olesas, best pizzas outside of Italy!
 
My youngest daughter who's 18 is vegan. Are there any vegetarian/vegan restaurants? I seem to remember one in the square, but that was probably about 10 years ago!

Hi again Clare, if you check the first post in this thread it lists the places serving Veggie food, there is more and more available each year so you should find something for her. Going back 20 years it was a lot more difficult to get veggie food and vegan wasn't even heard of there. Even now you may struggle to find a big choice of vegan options. I always asked for pizza sin queso which they did, just ask, most places will be only to pleased to make something for you if they can.
I am looking forward to trying Bellavista Pension in the port, this is vegetarian and I am sure there they will be able to help you there as well if you ask.
Hope you have a great time, report back how you got on if you like
 
Yes - Bellavista is an excellent vegetarian restaurant with very unusual dishes - all delicious:) Just hope it doesnt get too popular now as there are not that many tables!
 
Adding a few more to the list after our last visit, this time there seemed to be far more choice for Vegetarians then ever before which is great :)
 
Just added Neptuno to the list, Sparky's pics of the menu show they will be serving veggie dishes which is excellent news :)
 
SWS i am glad you have bumped this thread, it's reminded me that El Posito now have Vegetarian Paella and Tumbet on the menu so no need to pre-order. :D
 
Great thanks for that Sparky I will move them to the other section, thats brilliant we will definitely have to try them this year :)
 
i am veggie but fortunately love pizza and pasta! Tango did a fantastic veggie meal last year and Nico's do some very nice veggie food, something a bit different.
 
Oh, and Laroc do some of the best pasta i have ever had (my non-veggie wife has best pasta ever there)...bit out of centre so not always know about.

I thought i was going to have to spend ages online and trawling through forums to find a list of vegetarian friendly restaurants in Pollensa, but there you go posting the perfect list up, amazing! Thanks, very helpful, you've saved me tons of time too, now to pack!
 
Re. the posting by Zaccolbert above and the list of "useful phrases" at the bottom of the list of restuarants.
Now I did a little bit of night school Spanish a few years ago, but I am definately NOT a linguist! I, along with a few others, found it somewhat difficult but did persevere and it was worth it for the little I do remember - it comes back even more after a few cervezas!
The list of phrases reminded me of the perrenial question, 'Is it SER or is it ESTAR' they are both forms of the verb TO BE.
I understand that SER tells you what something is, ESTAR tells you what something does. Also, SER refers to a permanent condition, ESTAR refers to a temporary condition.
Always a complicated one to me and this/these are just the basics you learn for starters. How have you got on with your Spanish Sparky, any good tips?
And do you tend to use/pick up Spanish, Mallorquian or Catalan - or all three?
Makes you realise why a lot of people just stick to English, but I think it is appreciated if you try a bit of the local language now and again.

I studied Spanish GCSE a few years ago and have forgotten most of it and always determine to brush up before coming , but somehow never get round to it! The Ser and Estar verbs will alwyas cause confusion! From what I remember, you use estar when you are describing how you feel such as 'estoy cansada' or 'soy italiana' But there are so many variations, I think you would only get to know them 'intimately' if you spent a lot of time speaking Spanish.

But I think on this basis I think it shoud really be 'somos vegetarianos' but I couild be wrong!:D

But whatever, who cares, as long as we can make ourselves understood and the food is good.

Now where is that Spanish course so that I can get practising before next month:)
