Trencadora, Pollenca - Monday 11 August 2008
Before having a drink in the square in Pollensa we booked a table at Trencadora - and were very glad we did because, at 8.30pm, the place was almost full. It was a very good sight to see because I know this lovely restaurant has had a change of ownership and mixed reviews over the last couple of years.
The two female waiting staff were very friendly and attentive and we nibbled on bread and olives while studying the menu, which had a Germanic hint about it… a Berlin favourite of currywurst? In Mallorca? There is also a good choice of salads, pasta, seafood spaghetti and an ox dish!
My daughter was delighted to see alioli on the menu and ordered a dish with lots more bread as her starter. My son was famished so he opted for a portion of chips to start while hubby went for the pa amb oli and I chose a mixed salad.
The food was excellent - hubby’s large portion of toasted bread and tomatoes was delicious and my mixed salad of tomatoes, cucumber, celery, olives and various leaves had a very tasty dressing. But it was the chips that were the real star…crispy, hot and lightly sprinkled with sea salt. Scrumptious!
As things were going so well, we waited for the main courses with trepidation but we weren’t disappointed. Three of us ordered grilled chicken breast with potatoes and vegetables while my son went for the spaghetti bolognese. The chicken was moist and tender and covered in a mild curry sauce which was different and very enjoyable. Halfway through the meal, my son pushed his spaghetti away but perked up when offered some of hubby’s chicken. They duly swapped and hubby pronounced the pasta very tasty.
We sat back in our chairs well satisfied, but in the course of duty, we felt we had to try a dessert. My son chose strawberry cheesecake while my daughter and I shared tiramisu. I felt that the desserts had been bought in (the tiramisu was still slightly frozen in the middle) but they were very good and were a nice ending to a lovely meal.
The bill came to 90 euros. It may be advisable to book a table and the restaurant offers a children’s menu.
