Jokers or Mollies for breakfast

[jjacks]

Have just booked an apartment above the IRU for July with friends. Discussion then started about favourite restaurants and of all things, the best place for breakfast. We prefer Joker's - sitting overlooking the sea eating breakfast is the best way to start the day. The couple we are going with prefer Mollies. I would love to know other peoples favourites.

JJ ,

I'm sure Mollies is excellent but you are on holiday and nothing, but nothing will beat sitting overlooking the sea on a lovely July morning having breakfast.
Bet you can't do that at home ??


No brainer , IMO

My thoughts exactly. Mollies may be nice but eating breakfast looking at a wall just doesn't appeal somehow.

I['ve eaten breakfast at Joker but never at Mollies so can;t comment on food quality first hand but am with the rest of you with regards to the view ,... Joker wins every time

ALSO .... I have a real soft spot for the Joker Bar ..... its like an old friend , part of PP for me

PS: Daughter has eatn at Mollies, says the food is really good but experience can;t beat Joker so she always chooses Joker for above reasons

JJ,

Another good option is Ca'n Josep . He was doing breakfasts last year and again pleasant front line spot .

Hi Bonyslad
I haven't tried Can Josep's, but I have just thought of another place - Capri ( the hotel that is and not the place).

I love the Joker, the view is fantastic!!

I also love cafe illa for a morning coffee and ensaimeda breakfast. i like to sit just inside looking out. It is quite trendy inside, i like it.

Had breakfast at Joker's for the first time last May. First time in PP, so can't really compare it with anything else there. Great full English in georgeous hot sunshine looking out to beautiful blue sea. What could be finer? Hopefully, back again in June for two weeks, so I can see a good few more breakfasts here.

I think it was only 5 Euro each for breakfast, toast and coffee / tea. Bargain.

I usually try to avoid places which do "full English" and "go native", do you know if they offer ensaïmadas.

Adios

Dave,

Sorry, I don't know what ensaimadas are, or if they do them. However, I know what eggs, bacon and toast are and sometimes nothing else will do, and if you fancy them this is a great place to get them.

With respect Dave . Don't be too condescending cos most " Native" restaurants know offer " Full English Breakfasts " to survive in this current economic climate !!!

Yes even some of the Chinese establishments are doing the "Full English"

 

[PaulB]

Of course I actually do know what ensaimadas are. Just pandering to Dave's idea of what I am like for wanting the occasional fry up on holiday.

During my last trip ate loads of authentic Mallorcan dishes: Snails, tumbet, frito, every type of tapas, etc. All were lovely if you put enough brown sauce on them!

I've never been to Joker's for breakfast, but I have been to Mollie's and what it lacks view-wise it makes up for with friendly service and very good food!

We always like to have a cooked breakfast treat when we holiday in PP, which happily is most years. I would say that both restaurants offer lovely food at a good price and friendly service.....BUT...... there is no better view than the Bay of Pollensa...so in our opinion it has to be the Joker!!!

You cant beat snails and tomato ketchup!

Fair point BL we all need to earn a crust but I don't like to see the growth of British cuisine to the detriment of local Mallorcan cuisine. This has happened on the Costas and Southern Mallorca as I am sure you will know.

The differences in culture and cuisine are what make PP special. If we had Britain abroad with everywhere doing full English, roast dinners, washed down with Watneys Red Barrel I, and many on this forum, would be off like a shot!

what about Simbad, good view etc, but lets face it you wont get proper sausages and bacon at any of them and the prices all seem a bit on the high side to me
