El Olivo Restaurant
Refined Mediterranean tasting menus in a historic Deià setting
El Olivo is one of Mallorca’s most highly regarded fine dining restaurants, located within the prestigious Belmond La Residencia in Deià. Set inside a restored sixteenth-century olive press, the restaurant offers a calm and intimate setting, with soft candlelight and traditional stone features creating a relaxed but refined atmosphere.
Led by chef Pablo Aranda, the kitchen serves a seasonal tasting menu available in six or ten courses, with a vegetarian option available on request with twenty-four hours’ notice. The menu focuses on carefully balanced Mediterranean flavours, using high-quality ingredients and modern techniques without losing sight of simplicity. Dishes are well paced and thoughtfully presented, making the experience feel considered rather than formal.
An extensive wine list accompanies the menu, featuring both local Mallorcan labels and respected international producers. Service is professional and attentive, adding to the overall sense of ease throughout the evening.
Smart casual dress is recommended. As El Olivo is very popular and seating is limited, it’s advisable to book ahead, particularly during peak season.
