Cafe, Restaurant restaurants in Europe

  1. A

    Room

    Be taken right through the day, from breakfast to cocktails, at this stylish and very contemporary collaboration between the two owners, a chef and a pastry chef. You'll find a few fish and meat mains, but this is more about a lighter touch, with pasta dishes, tapas, salads and home-made desserts.

    S'Esponja Café

    A jug of sangría and pa amb oli (with unusual variants on the theme, such as the capresse, a mozzarella and tomato combo), perhaps followed by a little cake, is not a bad way to start the night at this funky eatery. It also does terrific salads and the service is attentive yet casual.

    Amadip Esment

    This agreeable place east of the old town combines numerous spaces – an organic food store with attached cafe serving sandwiches and salads, and a lively cafe-restaurant with mains costing as little as €5.

    There's little that's too imaginative in the cooking, but the tastes are fresh and the international dishes well-prepared. The outdoor tables are lovely when the weather's warm.

    Restaurant Museu Es Baluard

    The terrace cafe of Es Baluard is as good for a snack (€2.90 to €9.95) or bocadillo (filled roll; €3.45 to €5.50) as for a more substantial meal. The former include tandoori wraps, nachos and noodles, but you can also just order a drink and enjoy the view that stretches from the Castell de Bellver to the Catedral.

    Ca'n Gata

    An agreeable place that extends all the way over a cobblestone floor to a pleasant back garden, Ca'n Gata works almost entirely with homemade dishes and local ingredients – the ensalada de taronges de Sóller (salad made from Sóller oranges) is typical. It also does tapas and serves fresh orange juice, and there's a resident cat as befits the name.

    Manzanas y Peras

    Tiny but brilliant. Two young Brits Paul and Caroline have created something of an oasis next to the Calvari steps. A long list of lunch specials includes the outstanding 'pork, apple and sage burger'. In the evening, it's international tapas, ranging from Thai fish cakes to bruschetta served with melted goats cheese, blueberry jelly and walnuts.

    Hórreo Veinti3

    One of numerous good options along this pedestrian street, this trendy place is especially good if you're hungry in the early evening or late afternoon. Dishes range from risotto and grilled fish to duck breast with apple and shallots.

    Sumahan on the Water

    The grassed waterside terrace at this boutique hotel is an idyllic place to while away the afternoon hours. Ferries, fishing boats and private launches will pass as you sit in the sun enjoying well-prepared Turkish dishes and a glass of wine or a good Italian-style coffee. You'll find it north of the iskele (ferry dock); the entrance is via the hotel foyer.

    Café Alentejano

    Generations of country folk meet at this pleasant spot, which has art-deco wood-and-mirror panels and tiled tabletops. Outdoor tables face the square. Upstairs, a wood-floored, white-tablecloth restaurant offers heartier traditional and great-value fare.

    LeMan Kültür

    This garden cafe south of Hadrian's Gate takes as its theme cartoons and caricatures (they're all done by patrons) and is vastly popular with students. It's open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and is always packed. This is where you'll meet young Turks, for certain.

    Café Arcada

    This busy, barn-sized cafe is an Évora institution, serving up coffee, crêpes and cakes. You can sit at an outdoor table on the lovely plaza.

  13. Fiddler’s Coffee Shop & Restaurant

    The coffee shop does cappuccino and croissants, while the restaurant serves traditional Highland fare, such as venison casserole, and a wide range of bottled Scottish beers. There’s also a whisky bar with huge range of single malts.

    Hay’s Dock

    The upstairs cafe-restaurant in the Shetland Museum sports a wall of picture windows and a fairweather balcony that overlooks the harbour. Clean lines and pale wood recall Scandinavia, but the menu relies on carefully selected local and Scottish produce. Lunch ranges from delicious fish and chips to chowder, while the evening menu concentrates on seafood and steak.
