A hidden gem, the bar staff offer excellent service and a lovely chilled vibe with a number of comfortable sofa areas and fantastic views upto Bellever Castle and over the port (on the Fri night we were there a live DJ also). Dinner in the restaurant was a mixed bag with our group sharing a few various starters (squid, croquettes & tomato with Anchovies) and then a main each; the tuna tataki that I had was very tasty and nicely presented and my friends fillet steak seemed to go down well (albeit a little lacking on presentation). Regrettably though my wife had the duck and friend the fish, both of which commented that the dishes were somewhat bland and lacked veg. The setting and ambience was nice and service like the bar was excellent, attentive but not rushing us. The wine menu could have included a few more local Mallorquian wines however the local Velo rose we opted for went down very nicely. All-in-all a good night and I would certainly return.

We didn’t eat here, but enjoyed a very relaxed drink in beautiful surroundings. Excellent service, the low cost making it even better! Definitely worth stopping off to enjoy a drink if you’re in the area

We came for lunch several days in a row. The menu is well put together, with light and fresh dishes such as gazpacho, avocado or tomato salad, croquettes ... as well as one pasta and one chicken dish, also perfect in size. The terrace is unbeatable for a lunch break, with the harbour views and its quiet location. Also open for dinner in the evening. Very friendly staff.

Positioned next to Palma art museum and with a view of the sea and castle this captured us on a hot day. We sat for a quick spritz before going into the museum and stayed for the afternoon instead. Calm tranquil and worth a visit. We didn't eat but can recommend the aperol spritz!
