Good paella but way too slow service: Sa Font Pool Bar @ Castillo Son Vida (22. August 2021)
Given I always try to kind of try all restaurants which are present in the hotel area, I decided that the last meal of this Mallorca visit was gonna be at the ‘Sa Font Pool Bar’ and started with a “ensalada de verano con mango (con trozos de coco, cacahuetes tostados y salsa agridulce de […]
Great food deal but way too loud music for a restaurant: Restaurant Baiben (21. August 2021)
Sometimes you have to be lucky. Since we somehow hadn’t booked anything for Saturday evening and Mallorca was absolutely packed, I considered myself super lucky scoring a reservation online for Baiben. However, it turned out that I had picked Sunday instead of Saturday so we ended up standing there not really having a reservation. Luckily, […]
Decent food but not really providing a proper beach club experience: Restaurant UM Beach House Portals (21. August 2021)
What you get at the UM Beach House Portals is, in a nutshell, an overpriced beach bed with no beach access (so it’s kind of misleading marketing) but they have, at least, a nice restaurant where you have a lovely view onto the sea. And the food is, overall, quite enjoyable. We went for the […]
Not sure it’s a full Michelin star but great female sommelier: Restaurant Es Fum @ The St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort (20. August 2021)
Somehow, the Es Fum has been on my to do list for quite a while since it had been recommended to me by one of my best friends. So, I was relatively stocked to finally be able to try it. The “small tasting menu” (EUR 135.00) with a “wine pairing” (EUR 75.00) starts with two […]
The perfect place for a signature Bloody Mary: Bar Es Vent @ The St. Regis Mardavall (20. August 2021)
Each St. Regis has its very own signature bloody mary so it was about time for me to try the signature bloody mary of the St. Regis Mallorca. The so called “Mardavall Pepper Snapper (St. Regis mardavall, mallorca, hendrick’s gin, tomato and lemon juice, crystallized sea salt from sea salines, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco […]
Great breakfast option with a nice view and a luscious buffet: Restaurant Es Castell @ Castillo Son Vida (20. August 2021)
The breakfast selection at the Es Castell is actually quite nice since you really kind of get everything ranging from sweet treats … … to cheeses and sausages … … jams, fruit, and yogurt … … as well as muesli … … juices and more fresh fruit … … as well as cheeses and more […]
Good dinner option with a lovely view: Restaurant Es Castell @ Castillo Son Vida (19. August 2021)
The first dinner in a new hotel is always good to try something new and the Es Castell in the Castillo Son Vida is exactly that – something new. As an amuse bouche, they served a “cone with fish roe” which was intense in flavor but also very enjoyable. Second in line was the “traditional […]
Decent main course but nothing exquisite: Restaurant Es Carbó @ Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel (10. April 2021)
For the last supper in Palma de Mallorca for this time, the Es Carbó was the chosen place (due to lack of options, to be fair) and it all started with “bread with chili dip” which was okay. Luckily, the main course, an “ox entrecôte with grilled vegetables” (EUR 27.00) was much better than I […]
