With its chandeliers, brass mirrors and pretty patio, this boho-retro cafe is a fab
place to linger. Pull up an art nouveau chair for breakfast with flaky croissants and fresh
orange juice, a light lunch (we can recommend the goat's cheese salad and homemade ra-
violi) or coffee with a slice of moist orange-almond cake.
Sa Fàbrica de Gelats
ICE CREAM €
(Avinguda de Cristòfol Colom 13; ice cream per scoop €1.20; 9am-10pm Jul & Aug, shorter hours

Legendary ice cream. Among the 40 or so trays of locally made flavours,
those concocted from fresh orange or lemon juice are outstanding. There's a small patio
with a handful of tables.
Ca'l Bisbe
MALLORCAN €€€

www.hotelcalbisbe.com/restaurante
; Carrer del Bisbe Nadal 10; menus
€29.50-38.50; 8-10.30pm Mar-Oct)
An old olive mill has been reincarnated into this res-
taurant, where you eat below heavy wood beams in the lantern-lit dining room or on the
poolside terrace. The menu transcends the norm with refined dishes like slow-cooked
cod with calamari noodles and black-olive-crusted lamb with basil risotto, all expertly
matched with local wines.
Ca'n Boqueta
MEDITERRANEAN €€€
( 971 63 83 98; Gran Via 43; 3-/5-course menu €15/29.50; 1-3.15pm & 7.45-10.15pm Tue-Sat,
1-3.15pm Sun)
A tastefully converted townhouse bistro, with art on the walls, beamed ceil-
ings and a garden patio, Ca'n Boqueta offers creative cooking with a seasonal touch.
Starters like cherry gazpacho and scallops with white zucchini cream are a delicious lead
to mains like Mallorcan black pork with tangy orange sauce.
Casa Alvaro
TAPAS €€€
( 871 709315; Carrer del Vicari Pastor 17; tapas €4.50-7, mains €16-24.50; 1-4pm & 6-11pm)
Scoot down a cobbled lane off the main plaza to reach Casa Alvaro, which pulls off its
minimalist-traditional bodega look with ease. Under the beams you can dig into the su-
perb tapas the jovial staff bring to the table: crispy calamari, tender rabbit, artichoke
hearts and the like. Pair with a decent bottle of Mallorcan wine and enjoy!
