Top choice in Sóller
From its cliff-top perch overlooking the sea, this restaurant's terrace is pop-the-question-at-sunset romantic. Not only that, it's the home turf of Benet Vicens, one of Mallorca's foremost chefs. The nouvelle Balearic-style tasting menu follows the seasons, with dishes like lobster ravioli with rabbit loin and sorrel sauce, fruit-filled suckling pig slow-cooked to crackling perfection or Tramuntana lamb with eggplant confiture.
