Welcome to Noir, your go to food bar in the heart of Cala D'or, Mallorca.
Find loads of top tips and local insights in our Mallorca Restaurants.
In the depths of Palma’s old town, on Plaza de Sant Francesc, resides a neoclassical style 19th-century mansion, which has been transformed to become Hotel Sant Francesc. This little boutique hotel has many charms from its original character through to its elegant accommodation, chic lobby bar and rooftop sushi restaurant, but on Valentine’s Day I went along to try out the renowned Quadrat Restaurant.
Mallorca’s food and drink scene is continuing to cause quite a stir. Year after year, more and more innovative restaurants are popping up to deliver first-class creative cuisine while foodies travel from far and wide to sample some of the island's best bits.
There’s a danger in resort towns of filling the streets with restaurant after restaurant, offering traditional and local menus to the exclusion of all other food, and wonderful though tapas and paella are, occasionally even tourists are going to fancy something else.
Recent recipient of a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence 2015, for receiving consistently great reviews Ambrosia is well worth a visit.
So another weekend, another drive around the tiny, narrow roads of Mallorca, with the Frenchman cringing every time a car approaches as he imagines the car swerving off the road and tumbling down some ravine. For the umpteenth time, I promise myself never to take him on a day out again.
As I spend more time on the island, every now and again I find myself craving some British home comforts. One afternoon, I was lusting after tea with scones and, within seconds, my trusty friend Google recommended the Belmond La Residencia’s "Tea with Miró" so I made a reservation for 15:30 the following day.
Summer in Mallorca has just got much more interesting for all the foodies visiting the island. Chef Fernando Pérez Arellano, from Michelin-starred restaurant Zaranda is opening a new restaurant in Puerto Portals.
**NO LONGER OPEN** The Frenchman and I arrived in Port d’Andratx without really knowing where we wanted to eat. So we parked up and had a wander around the back streets and the waterfront, perusing menus and clientele. As you might expect, there are a host of fish restaurants, ranging from rustic local hang-outs to smart, linen-tablecloth establishments. This area of Mallorca is much loved by the German as well as the British community, so many of the restaurants are German-run.
I have a new favourite place in Mallorca and it is 5Oceanos Restaurant and Chill Out in Mal Pas, Alcudia.
Mallorca offers many sea-view restaurants where diners enjoy Mediterranean cuisine beside stunning coastal scenery. From cliff-top terraces in the Serra de Tramuntana to beachfront spots along Palma Bay, these restaurants combine fresh seafood, local wines, and unforgettable sunset views over the Mediterranean Sea.
The Michelin Guide for Spain & Portugal 2016 has awarded Zaranda, under the guidance of executive chef Fernando P Arellano, it's second Michelin star. It is the only two star restaurant on Mallorca.
Set just down a side road off the busy square of restaurants in central Puerto Pollensa, Neptuno will catch your eye with its deep blue walls and life buoy decorations, it’ll keep your attention with its special boards and tapas deals and by the time you’ve read those a friendly waiter will have drawn you in and found you a table.
Lured in by their regular postings of delicious local produce on their Twitter account - I recently managed to pop in to Es Rebost in Palma centre to see if they are as good on-plate as online!
We were intrigued recently to find a new restaurant in the top 10 restaurants for Mallorca in TripAdvisor. We don’t actually find that the rankings in TripAdvisor help us to find what we call ‘good restaurants’.
With a prime spot on Carrer Fabrica, the pedestrianised street running through Palma's Santa Catalina district, Horreo Veinti3 had caught our eye on several occasions recently.
For laid back lunch times and easy dinners with a beach view head to El Bistro on Puerto Pollenca’s waterfront strip.
With the promise of a new, fresh dining experience, Miceli restaurant in the backwater village of Selva seemed an opportunity not to be missed. Having heard about the restaurant during my visit to Selva to make Panades during Easter weekend I thought it was worth a return trip to discover what all the fuss was about.
Every city needs at least one great steak house. Last night I found Palma's. Just off Plaza Espana in the Placa Comte Rosello is the Rodeo Grill where they specialise in steak. Be it T-Bone, entrecôte, sirloin or chateaubriand this is the place to go for a steak in Palma de Mallorca.
