Just arrived home from a short escape to the Port, (with no kids for the first time in 17 years!) Here are our restaurant reviews:
Can Ferrar Always a family favourite and never dsappoints we decided to start the holiday on a Spanish theme so ordered bread, olives & alioli, Fish Paella and a jug of Sangria. All delicious - we ended with 1 tiramisu & 2 coffees - what a bargain at 38E
Il Giardino Another place we retun to year after year, service is always attentive and this is a perfect setting to sit and soak up the atmosphere of the old town. I chose king prawn tagliatelle and hubby cannelloni these were followed by apple tart & ice cream and panna cotta 2 coffees and a bottle of the house wine the bill came to 68E
La Cabana This was new to us and we ordered the mixed tapas with a litre jug of sangria for lunch
(20E for 2 people) This was excellent value, the food was fantastic and expertly presented. The friendly waitress brought us a large basket of fresh bread. alloli,olives,palma ham,salami,cheese and anchovies followed by a large plate of freshly cooked potatoes bravas,meatballs and dates wrapped in bacon. This was a pleasant experience sat with a lovely view across the bay but there is also a very nice courtyard at the rear. I definately will return here on an evening to sample more of their interesting tapas dishes.
Brisa Marina Another excellent meal, Hubby ordered his usual favourite here- the monkfish & Langoustine kebab I chose seabream. We sat on the front terrace with a fab view of the marina and enjoyed people watching. Sweet was Creme Brulee and with 2 coffees and a bottle of white Rioja i think the bill was around 55E.
La Fonda Back to Pollensa for our last evening we were not to sure about eating in this narrow side street but really enjoyed it - there was a lovely atmosphere and we were seated far enough back away from people passing by.At 72E this was our most expensive meal but in our opinion money well spent. For starters we had Fish soup & frito de marisco (the best I have ever tasted!) We both then had the leg of lamb which was lovely and tender it was served with fresh mixed veg and potatoes au gratin. I helped hubby out with his dessert of Mallorcan cake we had our usual 2 coffees and an excellent bottle of thr house red ( Rioja at only 10.5E)
Back again in just over 3 weeks and counting down!!
