Jardín Bistró

Dining

As is to be expected, tapas, montaditos, and pintxos abound in Mallorca. But for a truly authentic Mallorquin gastronomic experience, visitors will want to avoid those easy options and go instead for some of the many local specialities. On the coast, bistros serve the freshest seafood with beautiful ocean views, while inland, heartier meals are on the menu — a spit-roast pig with fresh seasonal vegetables grown just a few miles down the road — and the sea-breeze is swapped for mountainous landscapes. All of this, of course, is accompanied by fine local vintages and the warm companionship of local chefs and fellow diners.
