1. 3\65 Restaurant

Location: Pollenca

3\65 Restaurant sits within the Son Brull estate near Pollensa and offers a dining experience closely connected to Mallorca’s landscape, seasons and traditions. The cuisine is rooted in the island, with menus that change throughout the year to reflect what is at its best at each moment. A strong emphasis is placed on ingredients from the estate itself, complemented by carefully selected products from some of Mallorca’s most respected producers and artisans.

This seasonal approach results in dishes that are clear, balanced and thoughtful, allowing the quality of the ingredients to take centre stage. The experience is refined without feeling formal, making it well suited to diners looking for something special but grounded in place.

Wine plays an important role at 3\65 Restaurant. The cellar features a collection of over two hundred wines from around the world, with a particularly strong focus on excellent Mallorcan labels. Guests choosing the pairing option can enjoy wines selected by Joan Amengual, Head of Service and sommelier, who curates pairings to complement each dish on the menu.

The restaurant’s name reflects its setting. Son Brull was built by the Jesuits in the eighteenth century as a convent and farm, long known locally as “the farm with as many windows as days in the year”. Today, 3\65 Restaurant continues that tradition, offering a distinctive gastronomic experience shaped by history, land and season.

2. 1907 Restaurant and Cafe

Location: Pollenca

1907 Restaurant and Cafe sits on the main square in Pollensa and has long been part of everyday life in the town. With a terrace that opens directly onto the square, it’s a natural place to stop for a coffee, a relaxed meal or a drink while watching local life unfold.

Over the last hundred years, the café and adjoining hotel have welcomed many well-known figures who either stayed here or spent time mixing with locals. These include Tito Cittadini, Dionís Bennassar, Roch Minué, Maria del Mar Bonet, Jordi Savall, Tomás Molina, Saenz de Oiza and Vives Llull. Their presence reflects the café’s long-standing role as a social meeting point rather than a place set apart for visitors only.

Today, 1907 Restaurant and Cafe continues to balance tradition with a straightforward, welcoming approach. The menu focuses on well-prepared Mediterranean dishes, suitable for breakfast, lunch or dinner, without unnecessary fuss. Service is professional and friendly, and the atmosphere remains relaxed throughout the day.

About choosing a restaurant in Mallorca

Mallorca has become a real foodie island in recent years. The restaurant scene has come along leaps and bounds and now rivals top destinations like Madrid and Barcelona. Whilst traditional Mallorcan fare has been revived by famous chefs, the island also serves first class international cuisine and there’s been a wave of 21st century fusion restaurants popping up in recent years. So you can bank on there being plenty of places to fulfil your individual desires when you visit.

Lunch is the main meal of the day for the Spanish, typically taking place between 13:00 and 15:00 on the island. At this time of day, many of the best restaurants offer a ‘Menu del día’, a set menu which usually consists of three courses and a drink for a fixed price. Alternatively, a restaurant might offer a ‘Plat del dia’, one course and drink which is also a great choice for a quick bite to eat. The price of these menus varies, with many places in Mallorca serving three courses under 10€, whilst at some of the top restaurants on the island they can cost up to 25€. At any rate, this option offers amazing quality and value for money in comparison to à la carte and evening menus.

The Spanish like to dine late so, whilst most restaurants open around 19:30 for their evening sitting, it's common for the more traditional spots not to open until 20:30. It’s highly recommended to book a table in advance to avoid disappointment, especially in summer and during weekends.

In the evening, it's customary for the waiter to bring a liqueur with your bill. This is a 'copa', a complimentary treat courtesy of the restaurant. It normally contains 'Hierbas Mallorquinas', a local liqueur aromatised with anise and other herbs. Sometimes a restaurant will ask you whether you want a 'copa', while others will just bring these treats out with the bill.

Mallorca is a child-friendly island, which means most restaurants welcome them with open arms. However, some go that extra mile to accommodate the little ones with outdoor playgrounds and indoor soft-play areas. High chairs are usually on hand when needed although it’s best to call the restaurant in advance to let them know you are coming, especially in the summer months when the restaurants often get booked up.
