Restaurant was very busy both nights but didn't impact the quality of the food or service at all. In particular the Soller Prawns > Steak Tournedo I had on the first night was excellent – it was very difficult not to just order the same again on the next visit but even I thought I’d already had too much steak/veal for one holiday !

We’d only been here on the tapas route before but as we’d always enjoyed it we thought we should give it a try for lunch and weren’t disappointed.
Menus is all in Spanish and left hand side of is dominated by a large selection on Pa Amb Olis – I seem to remember tapas on the right of the menu but we never really got beyond the left !
Staff very friendly, but don’t speak to much English & most of the other customers were local – which is a good sign.
One word of warning – the pickled peppers are hot – they’re very nice but took me by surprise the first time !

Other:
A few G&T, cocktail, coffee, beer & tapa stops throughout the holiday @ La Bodeguita, El Meson, Gemini,
Rumbo, Bonys, Los Faroles and Cafe 1919.
Enjoyed all of them but recommend trying the first 2 in particular - great for a small beer with a free small tapa for €1.50.
A little disappointed we didn’t make it to La Roda this time – but we’ll hopefully remedy that later in the year
