Hi all,
Here's a question to all of you PP foodies out there:
We are going to PP for the first time in mid/late May. There are three of us: Myself, the better half and 12 year old son. We are very much on a budget and I estimate we will have around £100 / £120 per day to spend. This includes everything i.e. food, drinks, transportation (although we do intend to use buses / hired bikes / Shanks pony wherever possible) and everything else. We are staying at Duva appartments but reckon we will walk into PP each day without any problem. We will not be eating at Duva by the way.
Firstly, do you think this is a realistic budget especially with the current exchange rate? We reckon we will want to spend no more than 40 - 50 Euros on an evening meal for the three of us. We would prefer to eat our main meal in the evening, late (when in Rome etc.), and not to be limited to set menus (although are not totally adverse if they are interseting).
Second, we would very much appreciate any recommendations with regard to our budget. Please, no burgers, pizzas or Tex-Mex, as we intend to eat authentic Mallorquin and plenty of seafood wherever possible. We have pencilled in O Lume as one of our possible "over budget" venues as a response to the favourable reviews in this forum. Other places that have caught our eye are Los Zarales, Brisa Marina, Los Pesdadores. Are these realistic choices on our budget? Would like to eat at Stay and may try to lunch there one day as an evening meal looks too expensive.
By the way, my son has a huge appetite and very adventurous tastes (as indeed do I). He can't wait to try suckling pig, rabbit, snails and octopus / squid. Other kids want them as pets, he wants to eat 'em! I am attempting to "educate" him and he will eat most things kids usually turn their noses up at. He already shares my love of olives, anchovies, oysters etc. This will be his first time abroad, so it should be a real eye (and belly!) opener for him, both culturally and gastronomically.
