Restaurant reviews Mallorca 2006

Ca'n Olesa - Pollenca Old Town

I know I keep banging on about this restaurant but it really is a great little place, in a brilliant location at the bottom of the steps in Pollensa's main square.

It gets very, very busy so we booked a table and strolled over at our agreed time, watched by several envious families who were waiting to be seated.

Ca N'Olesa is family-friendly and the night we were there, the Tuesday before the Moors and Christians, the place was heaving.

We had a great meal with the children ordering huge pizzas. Our starters were Pimentos de Padron and cheese, walnut and grape salad followed by Stifado (beef stew with vegetables and potatoes) and oh... rabbit (again).

I pushed the boat out and chose a Son Bordils Syrah and we had desserts, the best of which was my chocolate cream with mascarpone which is better than...um, no better not say it.

The bill for the four of us with all the usual drinks, bread and olives was 106 euros. The young staff were great despite how busy it was and it was lovely to soak up the exciting atmosphere of the square and feel like we were really part of the festival.
