I visit it nearly every year. It has a special charm.<\/p>\n<p>The building is elegant and rustic at the same time. Just getting out of the car I breathed an great calm. The tranquility and silence made me drop the revs immediately. Something that, every day, I like and appreciate more.<\/p>\n<p>On the main facade there are some tables that deceive. At first, one might think that this is the restaurant; but seeing that there is no one, instinct invites you to enter inside the building. Immediately one is already in the <strong>Jard\u00ed dels Ullastres<\/strong>. The tables, very well placed, under these trees so characteristic of the island, create an amazing landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Next it is the swimming pool of the same <strong>hotel<\/strong>. Candle lighting and ambient lighting make the garden so amazing that I always prefer to go at night.<\/p>\n<p>The service is really good. Leaving aside <strong>Jaume<\/strong>, who is the soul of everything and deserves a separate mention, the team is very attentive to everything that happens in the garden, but respecting the space and privacy of people. The sensitivity is extreme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Type<\/strong>: delicate cuisine with seasonal products. There is the option of eating at carte or choosing the tasting menu. I have tried both of them. Last time I ate <strong>Men\u00fa de l'Amo<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Appetizers\n<ul>\n<li>Vegetable cream of the day - Delicious and elegant way to start the menu.<\/li>\n<li>Selection of cheeses from Menorca - Nothing to say. There is no need to comment on the quality of the island's cheeses. They are really good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Starters\n<ul>\n<li>Egg yolks and Santa Catalina chorizo, potato, sweet potato and mushrooms - Star dish, above all, for the surprising mix of products. To highlight the quality. I would have repeated!<\/li>\n<li>Calabacines rellenos - Otro plato curioso y delicioso. El calabac\u00edn lo sirven con tomate y setas.<\/li>\n<li>Stuffed zucchini - Another curious and delicious dish. Zucchini is served with tomato and mushrooms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Main Dishes\n<ul>\n<li>Sea bass in \"panadera\" - Uncomplicated dish where the quality of the product is appreciated.<\/li>\n<li>Premium cut of the entrecote (high loin, boneless) - So cute I would also have repeated!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As they say: \"Gastronomy is the art that uses the five senses\".<\/p>\n<p>I never find the time to leave. It is one of the places that I like the most in the <strong>Balearic Islands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant is located in the middle of a little-used road that leads to an uncrowded beach, which makes it far from mass tourism. Much better this way, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is, without a doubt, one of my favorite restaurants in Menorca. I visit it nearly every year.
