    This was one of my favorite places in the island. Great food, big portions and very friendly staff. Prices were on the cheap side

    Fantastic Michelin star experience, showcasing mallorcan and Catalonian cuisine…read more Getting there - go down to the end of alleyway and it's just to the right next to Goa. The meal is divided up to three acts. Little amuse bouche to tease the appetite out of you leaving you lingering with curiosity. The second act is glorious with the best dishes of the house. The third act is dessert - mostly disappointing, with molecular gastronomy applied whenever possible. The best dishes are: Bittersweet aubergines with fois gras and foam - phenomenal. Fantastic balance of salty richness, soft luscious eggplant, and light and fluffy foam, all with a hint of subtle spice underneath. Crayfish cooked on hot rocks. Simplicity is the key here. Large crayfish from the sea is cooked on fire on hot rocks. Then served with this incredible sauce. Cow/steak tartare with aged blue cheese - aged beef for 60 days with a bit of blue cheese and tart apple. Phenomenal. The right texture from the steak tartare with creaminess from the blue cheese. Get the wine pairing with the meal. I especially enjoyed the Mosel Riesling (Schloss Lieser 2015) with smoked tomatoes (tomatoes in mallorca are good but still subpar to Sardinia or other regions in Italy) and bittersweet aubergine with fois gras, as well as the Can Xanet 2012 (Merlot, Syrah, mantenegro) with the steak tartare.

Me and my ex, who's from and lives in Manacor, Mallorca, Spain, went to Sa Coma Playa Hotel and Resort for holiday. We had an amazing opportunity to eat at arguably one of the best restaurants in all of Mallorca. Tomeu Caldentey is the only Mallorcan, Michelin Star chef in the world. Since we were staying at the resort on holiday booking reservations was alot easier than I anticipated. However, because of the nature of the success & popularity of Es Moli d'en Bou, you usually have to book your reservations in advance. Firstly, the staff is absolutely incredible, friendly, curtious, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu and specials. The ambience was amazing, and the restaurant is impecably clean. The entire dining experience is quite theatrical, it's just more than dining, it's lliterally a public exhibition of culinary entertainment. Tomeu is an absolute gastronomic god. There's no adjectives one can use to accurately describe each and everyone one of his dishes. Our meal consisted of 11 courses, and the food was sublime, with some of the greatest wines I've ever had....amazing selections. We were honestly there for almost 4 hours, for our complete meal and dessert. While you typically get approximately 5 different wines with your courses, we actually decided to try a few extra ones, and I reckon we ended up tasting approximately 7, based on the recommendations of of the sommelier, yeah, we paid in the bum quite a bit, for the extra wine, but it was worth every Euro. I believe Es Moli d'en Bou has a policy on no young children at the restaurant, however, when me and me ex-girlfriend were there, we did see a few young tots sitting at tables wiv their families. So if you have any kids, you might want to check into that. The portions are quite small, but for heavens sake, your getting 11 of them, depending upon what menu selection you make. Believe me, by the 7th course, I began to pray that I could continue this journey. You will definitely not go home hungry or with any euros left. I just wanted to try everything, since this was a once in a lifetime experience. My favourite dish was the slow cooked beef, which is cooked in a vaccum for 8 hours, then lightly caramelized and then steamed wiv this absolutely incredble smoke, packed wiv all types of local herbs. Unfortunately it wasn't a whoppin' 12-14 oz piece of meat :), it was a rather small portion; but the taste was huge in flavour. Tomeu Caldentey actually will come around to your table and greet you and ask about the food, a really nice touch and a really nice chef. The prices are not cheap at all....but you absolutely get what you pay for. A culinary experience that you will never forget. To this day I can remember vividly exactly every second of this incredible fine dining event. Oh by the way, the final damage was 290 euros! But the memories are priceless.

Obviously this area is dominated by the package holiday crowd but surely it's not all about eating English food in a hot location? Las Yucas was a welcome oasis among all the offerings of fish and chips and Yorkshire pudding and gravy you will find populating the main drag. Following Lauren's lead I also opted for the fillet steak and it really was a fabulous piece of meat. Cooked to perfection with that unmistakable BBQ charcoal flavour, it really was a cracking piece of steak. Someone else had the T bone, which came on its own mini BBQ grill, complete with charcoals and he also extolled the virtues of his meat. The vegetation selection available was good and both girls enjoyed their dishes. We all agreed that this had been our best meal on the island to date. On the final night we returned and they didn't disappoint. Once again the service was excellent and the food just as good as the first time around. I pigged out on a chateaubriand all to myself. It was served up exceptionally well, sliced up by the waiter before my very eyes. Once it was in front of me I struggled to even pay attention to anyone else's food but they all assure me it was really good. Based on my first visit I would have given them 4* but having had such good food and service in consecutive visits pushed me over the edge, they totally deserve all 5*s. I've eaten worse steak for two or three times the money in the UK. These guys are totally at one with the BBQ. BBQ ninjas if you will.

Enough of my lack of research on holiday destinations (in my defence, didn't hang around there much anyways). Directly along from my hotel, and therefore just off the main strip, sits Cafe Restaurante Las Yucas. It mainly specialises in tapas and BBQ, although it also offers a whole host of things in between. Because it's off the main strip it's missed by the majority a lot of the time which is a shame, although it seems to do well enough despite that. I ate here twice, my first night and my last, and both meals were absolutely fantastic. The first night I ordered fillet steak... now I've never ordered that in a restaurant previously due to being apprehensive about spending a whack of money and it not coming cooked properly...however this was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. The huge bbq was just along the terrace from my table and I could watch the chef blithely throwing hunks of cow around in a fire like he was painting a masterpiece. And oh what a masterpiece. I've never had a better steak. If it hadn't been such a decent size I would have had 3. I had a few glasses of rioja to wash it down. Ordinarily I'm not a fan of rioja but the waitress seemed determined to convert me and let me try 4!! I may have now have joined the dark side (I don't remember a whole lot to be honest :P) The last night I did a wee tapas mixture, just standard fare really. I tried octopus for the first time..was worried it would be rubbery but it was lovely. Just the right amount of salt and chilli through it. Delicious. The sauce on the patatas bravas was the best I've tasted. Was tempted to just ask for a wee bowl of that sauce and some bread!! If you're ever in this neck of the woods I'd definitely check this wee place out, you won't regret it!
