This is our first visit in a few years due to covid. Again the most fantastic experience. The service is attentive but not imposing, the food variety and quality is amazing and overall a 5 star experience. We hope to return again very soon.
Fabulous food and superb service at this special small restaurant. An interesting menu and beautifully presented food. With discreet signage on a quiet street, it feels like you've been let into a secret place!
I don’t know how many times we have visited this restaurant but it is not enough. When we are in Mallorca we always try to visit as it is a delightful experience that we enjoy very much. We have sent numerous family and friends there...who have equally enjoyed the experience. Thank you Christina and hubby for the delightful memories.More
We have been to MN many times over the years and it’s always absolutely perfect. Their five course menu, which I refuse to know in advance, is always spectacularly delicious with service and surroundings to match.
Wow. What a fabulous place. I hesitate to use the expression taster menu as we are generally not fans of the overpriced frippery associated with many such ordeals. This was 6 courses of delicious, authentic food served at a perfect tempo by lovely, knowledgeable yet...unpretentious hosts. And all for 42 Euros which included a glass of Cava. The restaurant occupies a hidden courtyard behind an innocuous facade in San Pablo. One of Mallorca's hidden gems. Go there.More
The pattern of the menu (three starters, a fish course, an intermezzo, a meat course and three desserts, preceded by a glass of cava, completed with sweet white wine and accompanied by a wide choice of Mallorcan wines) is the same as previous occasions but...the variety of the dishes is ever changing. The chef conjures up wonderful flavours and every dish is beautifully presented. Cris hosts the meal with charm, discretion, understanding and brilliant descriptions of each course. We cannot fault this restaurant. A memorable experience and fantastic value for money - in the UK they’d be queuing round the block for a meal as good as this at twice the price.More
Wow. After some huge gastronomic let downs on the island I have to see this one really caught my attention. From the outside you coudnt even tell its a restaurant. Eventhough I have to say it was probably the longest afternoon lunch Ive ever had,...this was price-quality wise an absolute gem. We had 6 courses , an aperitivo, the most expensive bottle of red wine, water and twice the menu and we left with a 118 euros bill. Worth every second of waiting! The service was impeccable.nice,friendly and warm.If we had more time we would go back straight away!!! Happy to see quality is still present on the island!!! Thank you so much for this experience!More
What an amazing restaurant that you would have walked by if you didn't know it existed. The taster menu was perfect , normally there is one dish that is a bit off when you have taster menu's, but not here . all the courses were...served with Majorcan flair and hospitality, Lucky for me my friend lives in the town .. definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.More
we were introduced to Mare Nostrum by a friend in 2020 and we visited on eight occasions- food is delicious,innovative,artistically presented and bursts with wonderful flavours. How Toni cooks the ox cheek I don’t know but it is out of this world.The courtyard setting and...ambience is delightful and Chris looks after guests impeccably with no hurry or fuss and nothing is too much trouble. we were in mallorca last week and found to our very great delight that the restaurant had survived Covid Lockdowns and is open for lunches. We had an amazing three hour lunch and look forward to returning next month.More
A way too long absence but so worth the wait. Stunning food and fabulous service in a lovely setting. What more could you want? Oh yes value for money - excellent! Returning in 3 days time with different friends says it all.
We found out about this restaurant by a local that was helping us plan our 2 weeks stay in Mallorca. We were so thankful for this recommendation as it was superb. They only do three seatings daily and once you experience it, you will understand...why. The food, the presentation, the service and the ambience could not have been better!! From the moment you enter, you know it is something special. Their courtyard is beautiful and you are greeted by Cris, one of the owners and your server for this culinary delight! Three starters, a fish dish, a sorbet palette cleanser, a meat dish and three desserts are all amazing!! Cris never rushes and allows each patron to enjoy the culinary experience. Her warmth is infectious and genuine. Her partner, the chef, is a master at making these dishes lead you through a beautiful journey of tastes. Who would have guessed that our best meal of the two weeks in Mallorca would be in the small, unassuming local town of Sa Pobla but it was! In our opinion, the price they charge is way too low for what you get!! Make sure to make a reservation as they fill up quickly but no matter where you are in Mallorca, do not miss dining at Mare Nostrum. Thank you for a memorable meal that we still are raving about 3 weeks later!!More
We were here again on a recent holiday to Puerto Pollença. We love Mare Nostrum and could not wait to return. We were so pleased to see they had survived the last year when the island had so few tourists visiting due to the pandemic....The restaurant is now only open for lunch rather than in the evening but that was absolutely fine for us and we chose the 3pm sitting. Every course of the wonderful menu was fantastic. Cris the owner is lovely and her business partner, who is the chef, makes the most wonderful delicious food. The fixed price menu is €36 a head. You receive a glass of cava and dessert wine in that price. Mare Nostrum has an extensive wine list with some excellent local choices. If you are visiting this area of Mallorca you should not miss having lunch at this wonderful restaurant. We’ll be back very soon!More
This was the highlight meal of our 3-week trip to Mallorca - highly recommended!!!! Hidden on a corner in a small town 35 minutes north of Palma, you enter a special world as soon as you walk into the covered courtyards designed with a feminine...touch and a treat to the eyes. The cooks from Valencia and Barcelona are artists to the highest degree. The 6-course menu began with a glass of sparkling wine and moved from one taste delight to the next. Each course is an art piece in and of itself, served on different sizes and shape of plates, designed for both the eyes and the palate, absolutely delicious. You can order in advance a fish/vegetarian option if you don't eat meat. And the dessert finale leaves your mouth watering. Definitely worth a visit, and book in advance, as they are only open on extended weekends.More
I can’t recommend this place enough! The food was excellent, beautifully presented and really well explained. The service is impeccable and the staff are lovely. There was so much attention to detail and care gone into this place. It is also incredibly reasonably priced. €36...for 6 courses, bread and olives, a welcome glass of cava, a palette cleanser and dessert wine. The wine list is full of local wines and very reasonably priced.More
A return visit for us and it didn’t disappoint. Chris and all the staff are welcoming and passionate about the food. 7 courses each beautifully presented and delicious especially the desserts. Great quality lovely atmosphere would recommend and will be back again
