Why do we always try to cram everything in on the last day, and the night before!!?
Having come back from the dead since I'lla D'or and fresh air, we then had to clean
apartment - very slowly - then decided to go out for our last meal.
Font De Gall had not been visited for a while, so that's where we decided to go for our final taste of Mallorca.
It was late to go out by our standards, about 8.30 ish, but obviously that's a normal time for restaurants to be at their busiest.
We arrived at La Font to see all the tables taken outside already, but as we walked in and tentatively asked if there was a table for two, the smiling waitress directed us to one in the corner, which could only be described as - in the linen cupboard!!
Those who know La Font know exactly where I mean.
I placed myself with my back to the shelves, so I avoided that view and just had the view of the two posters which told in no uncertain terms that smoking was not allowed! Well, I don't think anyone would anyway in a linen cupboard!
There were only the two waitresses front of house, and outside was full, and also inside was pretty busy too. They were obviously over worked, but still smiling. However, it did unfortunately show in the extremely slow service.
The bread basket was eventually plonked down on the table, with two teeny bits of butter in a dish plonked on top of the bread. Done with a smile admitedly, but not particularly professional.
Their 2 course meal is 15.90 euros and the 3 course 19.90 euros. Drinks are not included though, which can push the price up obviously. That night however we were still t-total!
We had an amuse bouche of salmon fishcake and tomatoe relish which was delicious. I noticed that not every table had the same amuse bouche, which is interesting.
For starters we both had the chicken liver pate served with oatcakes. Very tasty, but could have done with a couple more oatcakes as they were very generous with the pate.
Hubby went for the belly of pork for the main course, which was wonderful and had the best crackling I had tasted for a long time.
I had the chicken stuffed with haggis, which was gorgeous, and plentyful.
The timings between courses was quite a bit longer than comfortable, and although we would have loved to have had a dessert, we just couldn't wait around for much longer. People were actually coming in from outside to pay their bill, and the table next to us waited half an hour for their coffee.
Coffee was followed by a complimentary Brandy Alexander which was lovely and chilled, but we only had a sip or two for reasons previously mentioned!
We do like this restaurant and the food cannot be faulted in any way.
I would however, prefer not to sit in the linen cupboard to eat it, and maybe I will stop trying to get served quickly anywhere on a Sunday!
