this is the best paella we had while on menorca. we are picky when it comes to the quality of the meat and seafood and this was definitely a place to get the good stuff. the paella is made from scratch, not like what you see at some restaurants where it takes 10 minutes to serve. it was recommended by...

Very nice location but food was not great. The bread we recieved for starters was hard and stale. I had fillet steak which I enjoyed however my partner had a chicken dish which was not very nice at all. Staff were slightly weird but ok. More

Ordered half a roast chicken, so tiny with hardly any meat on it - it could have been a sparrow! Ordered bread, which never arrived then they had the cheek to charge for it. Overpriced and overrated. More

Ate here 4 times during our two week stay and couldn't find fault. The food was great, service good and great central location. Lovely to sit outside as the sun goes down and the lights come on, very relaxing place to eat, drink and watch the world go by. Will definitely be back next year. More

We hadn't tried this restaurant during previous visits as the prices seemd high. This year they are more on Par with other restaurants. We had a dinner and a lunch - both were well cooked and presented and were lovely. The chicken and prawn paella was so tasty. We found the staff very friendly so can't understand other comments. Maybe... More

I found this to be one of the better restaurants in the town, and after a couple of visits the waiters noticed you and made you feel welcome. Always a queue outside waiting for a table from around 9:30pm-10pm which tells its own tale - and plenty of Spanish eating there too which also tells you something! More

Definitely better looking than the other tourist traps in Cala'n Porter, the food was surprisingly good. We had an excellent tomato soup and the vegetable paella was to die for. Only problem was the service with waiters bordering rudeness. More
