•  Marc Fosh is probably the only British chef working in Mallorca, Spain. He started there in early 2001 and in 2009 opened his first restaurant and earned a Michelin Star.

    To be honest, Marc Fosh was not our first choice for our last night in Palma the Mallorca, we initially wanted to go to the restaurant Zaranda (**), but they considered our almost eight year old son to be to young to sit through the whole dinner quietly and thus would not take our reservation. So our option B was Marc Fosh where they kindly accepted a seven-year-old.

     

    When we looked at the menu, we found their “Menu Natural” very appealing, it was indeed true for the first three dishes : the savoury goat milk yogurt with compressed apricot, granola, curry and pickled red onion; salt baked beetroot tartare with wild fennel pollen; and probably the best Tortellini dish we ever had, cooked Tajine style with tomato and a smoked garlic emulsion.

    But the four following dishes were a let down, a disappointing finale not up to the first three dishes. The two desserts were downright distasteful.

    How could a menu go from high to low in seven acts? How could Marc Fosh score so high and finally lose so big? One reason, we suspected, was that the Menu Natural was not thouroughly thought through by the chef and his team, plus the dessert should be more refined and subtle.

    Overall, our dinner at Marc Fosh was so-so and left us wondering whether he really deserves a Michelin Star when there was such an enormous gap between all the dishes.

    The wine list was mostly Mediterraneen (Spain, France and Italy) with great local wines from Mallorca. They also had a great choice of cocktails.

    The service by our hostess was impeccable and in English.

  • If you want to taste good food with creativity and fun while in Mallorca, you should head to Adrian Quetglas where the Porteño born proposes a solid degustation menu in seven dishes with democratic prices (50 euros) for a haute-cuisine experience.

    The atmosphere at the Adrian Quetglas restaurant was more of a sophisticated bistro than a Michelin star restaurant. Adrian Quetglas wants his restaurant and his food to be more accessible to all gourmets and gastronomes.

    For our dinner, there was a unique menu of seven dishes with a pairing of five wines. The cuisine of Adrian Quetglas was exactly what we look for when going to a Michelin starred restaurant, his menu was creative, original and most of all well thought through, all the dishes were perfectly dressed and served in the right proportion.

    Even the wines we chose were coherent with the meals served. We were a little bit skeptic about the shot of Vodka proposed with the Borsch Adrian Quetglas style, but it turned out to make sense since we know that Adrian Quetglas spent 10 years in Moscow.

    The service was multilingual and very warm. For us it was in French by our charming French hostess, Camille, her service was professional, smooth and in tempo.

    Adrian Quetglas is highly recommended for all goumets travellers looking for original and innovative cooking without emptying their wallets.
