The portions were very small, the taste was terrible and everything was burnt. Everything had too much oil and was burnt as I said. We ordered the octopus and it only had 3 potatoes. As my brother said, it’s the cheapest thing, why not use a bit more. I don’t recommend it at all.

The aeoli was fine, but the bread was very dark brown and tasteless. Why would anyone serve aioli with bread like that? We ordered seafood paella for two and spaghetti from the child's menu, which was served 15 mins before the paella arrived. Good start! With regard to the paella, I could tell instantly it was not good. It was swimming in juices (see photo), and the rice was hard and undercooked. It clearly hadn't been cooked long enough. It was also tasteless. There were 2 prawns and 4 mussels. Pretty poor for 2 people but I might have forgiven that if it had at least tasted of paella. Terrible, and despite the good reviews here, this is definitely one to be avoided if you want a good paella.

Everything we tried was so delicious, from the humble spaghetti bolognese, over the locally caught fresh fish, to the 1000 gram, 45 day dried beef rib eye steak, cooked to your desires. Add to that the atmosphere of local Malllorcans proud of their cuisine and region. Very friendly service as well! Do not miss this place when in Puerto de Soller!
