Eating Out In Puerto Portals

Puerto Portals is arguable one of the most glamorous places in Mallorca. With its plethora of high class restaurants, shops, bars and pubs, this stunning marina is a must see destination for the rich and famous, as well as everyone else. So for anyone looking for luxury villas to rent in Mallorca, this is one destination you do not want to miss.

Starting with Flanigan’s, an excellent Spanish restaurant, you can sample a wide and tantalizing selection of meats and fish, prepared using only the best and freshest ingredients. Favourite dishes include delicious Grilled Sea Bream (Dorada) and the succulent Veal Chop. The wine list is displayed on a large wooden board cut out of a wine box and features a variety of excellent Spanish wines as well as French, Italian and German. With all of this in its favor, Flanigan’s truly is one to visit.

Next door to Flanigan’s is Tristan’s, an absolute staple when it comes to elegant Michelin star cooking. However, it has recently overhauled its menu to focus on bistro classics set in a more relaxed vibe. This has done nothing to alter the quality of the restaurant though, and for anyone looking for a delicious meal of high quality, as well as a relaxed, elegant setting, then Tristan’s is not to be missed.  Tristans Puerto Portals

Yet another place on the “must visit” list is the famous Wellies. Owned by the larger than life actor Geoff Kenion, Wellies is an upmarket pub that offers excellent British classics including a full English breakfast in an all day dining setting. Wellies is an instant favourite to most who visit and the story on the menu is highly recommended reading, as it will explain the pubs logo and tug at the heartstrings.

If a totally casual atmosphere is what you’re after, then Diablito is the perfect option, with its fun, relaxed vibe and excellent food. Diablito is a pizza restaurant serving thin, crusty dough with a variety of delicious, fresh toppings. It also serves salads and tasty nibbles such as the fantastic nachos served with spicy chili and cool guacamole.

With very reasonable prices and first class service, this is an excellent choice for those fancy some outstanding Chinese food. The classic crispy Peking duck with pancakes and hoisin sauce is a must have and won’t fail to satisfy.

And finally, no review of Portals would be complete without mentioning the unmissable Cappuccino, a Portals classic since the early days of the port. As you might guess from the name, Cappuccino serves truly excellent coffee, as well as a varied selection of wines, spirits and cocktails. Cappuccino is also a cafe/restaurant and serves wonderful salads, burgers, sandwiches and much more. The main selling point however, is the atmosphere. Relaxed and classy with first class service, Cappuccino will never fail to impress.
