Wheelchair friendly restaurants

Hello. Can anyone tell me please if most of the restaurants are accessible to a wheelchair user? Would it be best to make arrangements prior to turning up?
Thanks

Hi, If you take a look in the Restaurant section of the forum/website, there is a list of advertisements. Some have links to their websites, which may be your first port of call until someone comes along to give suggestions. A lot of retaurants have tables outside if that's an option, but I'm not sure about facilities such as loos.

I'm pretty sure that IRU advertises themselves as being wheelchair-friendly - see puertopollensa.com/restaurants_bars_cafes.html#iru - am not sure about others.

Can Josep is wheelchair friendly...as well as ample seeting outside it also has a ramp to get inside.

I was thinking about Can Josep funnily enough. I remember someone using the outside tables. I'm trying to remember the loos though. A bit of a tight squeeze for a chair to get in the normal loos and I really can't remember if they have a designated loo.

Not much help really, sorry.

I think the vast majority are wheelchair friendly but the toilets are another matter, some of them are cramped even for the able bodied but in Nostalgia the ladies is also fully equipped for the disabled.

We have been to pp a couple of times and my husband is a full time wheelchair user. We bever gad a problem getting into most restuarants but we have noticed a lack of disabled toilets althouth he is usually fortunate enough not to have to need them. I am sure you will have a fabulous time.

Thanks very muchfor responding to this. Just in case the toilets are important to some members are you able to comment on which restaurants do have good facilities (& which don't).

sorry need to learn to type. The remark should read that he has never had a problem with needing to find the disabled toilets. Head in the clouds today. lol

I dont usually look out for the loos but as i said we have used most of the restaurants and not had a problem getting in them. Staff are usually helpful about moving chairs etc. If i remember any that had toilets i will post info but at the moment mind is a blank.
