That may well annoy some of our Lycra clad friends?!

I have heard from a very reliable source that Tolos has been sold to a well known and respected local family so things might improve this summer ;).

That's a shame, we have always loved it there, such a warm welcome over the years, I don't think we have ever missed a visit there in the 21 years we have been going, in fact it may have been the first place we tried, kids loved it there.
Keep us updated with any news, I wonder what it will change into, yet another PP institution going
 
Slightly of thread

Can anyone tell me if the former Romero bar is now open and what kind of place is it now, thanks in advance.

Tolo retiring together with Sir Bradley? ;)

Perhaps Tolo's asthma was bad just like dear old brads,,,, cough, cough, nudge ,nudge. ;)

Other than that, can't say I'm bothered. If you go back far enough the place was brilliant, always went there for lunch. However, once all the staff changed my last memory was long wait times, wrong stuff turning up and overcharged on the bill. Things can only get better.
 
Had a long chat with Tolo in October and he was saying how things had changed around the Port and how terrible he thought the new pavement/ pedestrianisation looked. He seemed quite disillusioned but I never guessed he was going to retire. We have know him for nearly 30 years and although we don't tend to eat there as much nowadays we used to go all the time when the children were younger. It's still our favourite place to go after the beach for a beer, pan y alioli and some of the best chips in the Port :) Will miss our neighbours Tolo, Diego amd Pepe but am hopeful by Sparkys 'respected local family' comment that it will continue as a similar type of restaurant :)
 
As I have posted many times it's our favourite place for lunches off the beach and we have truly never experienced the issues others have mentioned, the food has always been excellent. Trying to guess who may be taking it over now????? Is it open now, would love to go one more time?
 
We liked it there but had certainly had some bad service there a few years ago

Lately we had only gone in if not too busy Wonderful situation and loved their salads

We will rely on Sparkys opinion of the new owners !
 
Always a snack and lunchtime favourite.
For enjoying a lovely tall cold beer, watching the world go by over a coffee,, great omelettes, bread, bruschetta and a few other great dishes.
The service could be a bit haphazard on occasion, but was outweighed by the positives.
More Spanish manana than Swiss clockwork... ;)

Our first apartment was in Pinaret so Tolo's was the first and last place for a drink. Some great memories, but also plenty not so great. Same as above really, lots of times of long waits, wrong food and always had to check the bill, which was seldom right. I don't think they deliberately over charged, just not well run. On the whole though, hope the new people do well. Looking forward to trying it again sometime

Similar to us mallorca boy..we're in Pinaret and have been going to Tolos ever since we first started coming out to PP in the late 80's. The service has definitely deteriorated (or maybe we've just got fussier and didn't care so much when we had young children, and eating out wasn't such a pleasurable experience) Having said that we will always have fond memories of Tolos especially one memorable day (in fact not memorable at all as it's all a bit hazy) when every time we asked for the bill Diego bought us all another beer on the house! This went on for about 5 rounds :eek: This was about 5pm and we'd only popped in for a quick drink before going back to the apartment to get ready to go out to eat. We never did make it out that night :D
 
Tolo's was always a firm favourite for us for a long lunch with a cold beer and a glass of wine or three whilst we sat and people watched or just admired the wonderful bay of Pollensa. We even did the 'Ice Bucket Challenge' on the wall across the road after one particularly long lunch!!

Tolo and his regular staff were always good to us and we really hope that they are retained in the new venture.

We appreciate that things have to change but we have been going to Tolo's for 30 years and will retain fond memories of the place.

Have just told my now grown up children and they can't believe that two PP institutions that they grew up with (Vall's and Tolo's) have gone in the same year!!

So sad.............:(:(

Yes, Roy will always be grateful to Tolo for introducing him to the Julio cassette. It finally persuaded him to get rid of his wind up gramophone with the HMV dog on the metal horn.:D
 
Who's Julio Eglasias and what's a cassette.
 
Julio & Tolo &cassetes were about in our younger days before we built the Beach.
So be grateful to us old #arts
