I have never realized it, but the other day was my first time in Alcúdia, and quickly after parking the car I knew why. I was dressed for a casual lunch, summer cotton dress with lace accents and my black wedge espadrilles when around me I was surrounded by men with no shirts on, women in skimpy bathing suits and I almost ran past the entrance of Bistró del Jardín. Let's just say, the Bistro is right in the heart of it!
Read MorePaella Sunday is beyond our wildest dreams at this location in Sóller! We decided on a roadtrip through the tunnel and on the other side of Palma de Mallorca. I always enjoy this drive, as you pass by all the almond tree fields, then after an extremely long tunnel you enter to the land of Oranges in Sóller! This drive is best done during the spring time when everything is blooming and the almond flowers make a bed of white petals that remind you it's still the winter season!
Read MorePaella Sunday is up and hot on the table! The other day we visited the town of Porto Cristo for Paella with a view! Now I know what you are thinking, what do Looney Tune characters and a restaurant have in common... the answer is simple, NOTHING! My guess is that they have had these extremely Kitschy design for years and thought it was a good idea so it stuck! Let's look past the signage and at the view...and the pièce de résistance... PAELLA!
Read MoreI'll let you in on a little secret, I do not like driving windy roads in the north of the island. I'm not one for a scary drive and I drive slowly with caution. Which only means that the locals don't like me because I'm extra careful around turns and tourists don't like me because something my turns are wider then they should be. With that aside I can say that I love Cala Deià because it is one of the easier drives for me. (note; I said easier)
Read MoreWe're here to tell you how we're on a mission to find you the best paella on the island of Mallorca! We have to tell you honestly how on our first attempt we failed. We came to Casa Manolo to try their fish stews and made the mistake not to call 24 hours in advance to order one and make a reservation. Complete amateur hour on our behalf, although the evening was not wasted and we discovered something great.
Read MoreLet's be honest, there are a lot of beaches here in Mallorca and there never seems to be enough time. This year I am finally branching out of my Top 3 Favorite Beaches and exploring the island more. To my surprise I found a lovely stretch of white sandy beach I have always thought would be "too touristy". That the food at the local Chringuito wouldn't be tasty and creative. I have no idea what took me so long, but I'm glad I have found, Ponderosa Beach.
Read MoreWe want to let you in a little secret. There is an amazing Chiringuito in PortoColom just across the harbour. S'Arenal Gran despite it's name is not a large beach at all, although it's the larger of the two beaches in this little village. Most people come here to rent a boat, walk the harbour and eat at the many restaurants by the little shops. Stop!
Read MoreConsistency is key at this beautiful decorated Restaurant at the tail end of what I like to call Restaurant Row in Santa Catalina. As you walk down the busy Calle de la Fábrica you are hit with so many smells you are tempted to just sit down at the most crowded place thinking it's the one with the best food.
Read MoreIt is the middle of May and it's lunchtime on the island, but where should I go? This is the question I often find myself asking. If I have the time I like to jump in the car and explore the little villages on the island but more often then not I'm left hungry and disappointed.
Read MoreIt starts with an sketch, an idea, or a single ingredient to create one magical dish. On April 28th, I was presented with 8 perfectly plated dishes inspired by the one ingredient of the night: Deià and it’s surroundings.
