  1. Es Cranc

    If you're happy to pay, head for this congenial spot on a street a couple of blocks inland. It has a simple dining room and a strong reputation. You can splash out on caldereta de llagosta (around €65) or even paella de llagosta (around €130 for two). Fresh delivery of lobster from a half-dozen local fishing vessels is guaranteed.

  2. Es Plá

    You can live without lobster but want melt-in-the-mouth seafood? Try this spot, with tables literally at the water's edge. The lenguado (sole) is prepared in a rich seafood sauce and vegetables. The menú del día (around €18) is good value for this town.
