OK - here goes again!
1. Bar Mallorca - Tapas, Pa amb oli, Salads and breakfasts. Nicely located overlooking Cala
Molins beach, and very popular with touring cyclists.
2. Beer Cellar - Part of
Hotel Simar. Newly opened last year. Have seen people eating snacks, but haven't done so myself yet. Roadside table/chairs, nice ambience.
3. Bistro Balaixa - Newly opened last year. Stylish, but not as popular as the rustic charm of La Tasca, the restaurant it replaced. Small meals, big prices.
4. Cafe Art 66 - Newly opened in April 2007. Is primarily just a cafe-chic type bar - very stylish, and attracting out of town business. Tapas and snacks.
5. Cala Barques - The tables overlooking the beach command possibly the best restaurant views in CSV.
Al fresco griddled food - big on meat dishes. Recommended.
6. Ca'l Patro - Picture an authentic Spanish restaurant built in to the hillside, and this is it! Stunning open-fireplace, genuine atmosphere. Fish a speciality.
7. Cavall Bernat - Generally regarded as the classiest restaurant in the centre of CSV, expensive, exclusive, and well worthy of it's good reputation.
8. L'Alba - Situated next to the main car park, with views to Cala Molins beach. Trusty, mid-range prices, 'proper' restaurant but children feel welcome.
9. La Moraleja - This hotel restaurant is understood to be first-rate. Certainly looks the business! Have never eaten there myself, though.
10. Marinas - Near Cala Clara, but sea views compromised by
Don Pedro Hotel. Popular with families and late-night revellers - stays open when CSV closes!
11. Modesto - Vegetarians
stay away! Very big emphasis on meat dishes, always cooked impeccably. Great value for money. Often open when CSV is generally closed.
12. Molins Beach Bar - Name identifes location. Very popular in summer-time, particularly on days when the buffet is available. Swimwear standard - it is what it is!
13.
Niu - Hotel restaurant, but open to everyone, and built on three tiers. Some areas have great sea views over Cala Barques beach. Mid-range fayre and prices.
14. Pepe's - Adjacent to the new promenade being built next to the Torrent, cheap, slow service, but seemingly very popular with families - particularly the Brits.
15. Trattoria - Possibly the most frequented restaurant in CSV - versatile (indoor or outdoor both very good), looks the business, Italian food, professional service.
16. Trotters - Cheap and cheerful. No pretensions - caters to burger and chip brigade. Now staying open later than before, for late arrivals needing feeding!
17. Windsurf - Lower-end option, frequented in numbers by locals. Doesn't attempt to compromise to non-Spanish/Mallorquin tourists as much as location suggests!
