good places to eat out
 

Hi guys

it is my first time to Puerto Pollensa this June and from what i have seen so far i am really looking forward to it. A few questions i have for you regulars. It is our first time on holiday with our daughter (she is 1 on 8th Feb) and i wondered if there are any activities for children of her age in PP. Also i am a lover of good, honest no nonsense food and wine (preferably local) and i would appreciate your comments on the best places to eat for this type of food. we are very open minded with or tastes

i look forward to your replies

thanks

Rick:D

There are so many just read some of the reports will give you a good idea. One of our favorites is O Lume two roads back from the front. Los Zarzales is also very good, in all its a job to find a bad eating place in PP.
Enjoy your trip.:p :p

If she is walking take a ball to the 'Square' at night - you can sit and enjoy your drink and watch her pottering about. I would say take some colouring pencils for in the restuarants. There is also a little archade on the front - has the coin operated rides. To be honest your LO will probably be exhausted after a day at the beach/pool - Ours always were at that age.
For food we love tangos - they are also fantastic with your children.

Thanks for the information guys, i appreciate your responses.

Having had a more detailed look in the forum, i am starting to get a real feel for the place.

We are staying in the Urban Siller area, and my mother in law suffers from arthritis, is it far from where we are staying into the centre (by the square)

I have been taking my daughter to PP since she was 8 months old. Try Fantasy Island (look under Kids on this website), its PP's version of a Wacky Warehouse. It's great if your little one is bored, or if its too hot - we have spent many an hour in there.

Siller area
 

its a fair walk to the square from Siller area
but plenty of we local restaurants and bars to stop in en route

Re: Siller area
 

Our apt is in Siller at the top of C. Urexella

It's an eight minute leisurly walk to the square (for the able-bodied)

MoMike,

Wait until you have had a couple of drinks at Bony's - 8 mins can become 8 miles!! You have been warned --enjoy the experience anyway.

Please try c'an ferrar, also know as casa martin, just behind the tobacconist on the front by the roundabout. they just love kids of any age age. mine are now 17 and 14 but have been going there since they where in pushchairs. Simple honest food and good local wine at at good price. Busy, basic but great value.

My daughter has also been going to PP since she was 6 months old (now 12) and no problems. C'an Ferrar was fantastic. Llenaire's is great because all children love to climb the tree - maybe yours is little young for that at the moment!! We have always taken her to the Clivia as well in Pollensa and they too have always been fantastic.

To be honest - most restaurants are great because the Mallorcans like children and like to see families eating together - unlike certain establishments in the UK who seem to think that children shouldn't be welcomed in restaurants! But, that's a whole different discussion!

Thanks for all your replies, they have been really useful and i will be checking out a number of the places you have recommended.

Sara4, thanks for your reassurances. I'm glad that the Mallorcans are a child friendly bunch, as it will make life a lot easier for us when we do come into town for a bite to eat.

Tex Mex good food good spot

YUM :p

Don't forgot that we are not all the same and some people will like this type of food.

Love the cocktails in Nico's

I agree Joanne and I also love the food at Nico's Tex Mex!

It was closed when we were out in January due to refurbishment but am hoping it will have re-opened this weekend. Best chili in town :b

The children really enjoy Nico's, great for vegetarian food as well.

For me it has to be Tangos. They make such a fuss over the children no matter how busy they are. Mine are teenagers but I saw them making a fuss over a little one making sure she had cushions so she could see etc. Foods great and very reasonable.

People seem to forget Pascalino on the sea-front. it's not just a snack bar, they serve the most wonderful Chinese food. Huge portions. Very reasonable, and a view to die for.

Re: Good places to eat out
 

Agreed the other tex mex Nicos is good

Griffo,

I agree with you. If you like it, do it. My buddy John loves the stuff ! (p.s. his wife is a veggie!!) We tried it once last year-did not like it one bit, but all the families, kids etc. eating there prove that it fullfills a niche service.

Such is life.

Off on other travels this year- may try PP early 2008.

Regards

Jimbo

Agree with you Smiddy Pascalinos is very good value and the waiters can be very entertaining as well
