Celler Ca'n Amer
SPANISH, MALLORCAN €
( 971 50 12 61;
www.celler-canamer.com
;
Carrer de la Pau 139; mains €9-18; 1-4pm &
7.30-11pm Mon-Sat, 1-4pm Sun)
Good old-fashioned Mallorcan cooking is the hallmark of
this lively
celler
, big on rustic charm, where you'll eat below wood beams and beside
huge wine barrels. The house speciality is lamb shoulder stuffed with aubergine and
so-
brassada
(paprika-spiced cured pork sausage), but the suckling pig with spot-on crack-
ling is equally delicious.
Joan Marc Restaurant
MEDITERRANEAN €€€
( 971 50 08 04;
www.joanmarcrestaurant.com
; Plaça del Blanquer 10; mains €15-20;
1-3.30pm & 8-10.30pm Tue-Sat, 1-3.30pm Sun)
A total contrast to Inca's dark and traditional
cellers
is this light, imaginative restaurant. The minimalist decor is softened by nature-
themed design touches like tree-trunk coathangers and driftwood. Sunny, herby flavours
ring true in chef Joan Marc's regional produce-focused menu, playing up Mediterranean
dishes like snails in tomato salsa with garlic bread, and octopus with roast aubergine and
peppers.
Celler Ca'n Ripoll
MALLORCAN €€€
( 971 50 76 39;
www.cellercanripoll.com
; Carrer de Jaume Armengol 4; mains €9.50-20, 3-course
menus €17.50; noon-4pm & 7.30-11.30pm Mon-Sat, noon-4pm Sun)
Delve down to this
enormous, cathedral-like 18th-century cellar, with a high-beamed ceiling resting on a
series of stone arches. On the menu are hearty specialities like roast suckling pig and cod
with
sobrassada
. It's not quite valet parking but they can arrange a place to park your
bike.
Celler Sa Travessa
MALLORCAN €€€
( 971 50 00 49; Carrer de Murta 16; mains €9.50-19.50; 1-4.30pm & 7-11.30pm Sat-Thu)
Big
on atmosphere and old-school charm, this
celler
dishes up house specialities from rabbit
with onion to
llengua amb tàperes
(tongue with capers).
Shopping
Mercat d'Inca
MARKET
( 8am-1.30pm Thu)
Sprawling over most of the town centre, Inca's Thursday market is
one of the biggest on the island, with hundreds of stalls doing a brisk trade in everything
from honey and herbs to ceramics, flowers, fabrics and fruit and veg. Local leather is
wheeled out in massive fashion in the shape of jackets, bags and shoes.
