Located in a the town better known for its Capdepera Castle than eco-minded cuisine, a farmhouse style 3-star boutique hotel offers a truly revolutionary dining room in a glass-enclosed space popular with agro-tourists. Located atop a rolling landscape of island terrain, a cobblestone estancia is home to a boutique hotel and more-acclaimed gourmet eatery with summertime terrace and poolside lounge. The décor is more rustic than your usual Michelin star playgrounds, a family-minded arrangement of cozy club chairs and white tabletops where the cuisine is the main attraction.
The Food
Lacking the panache or service of a true gourmand, here it’s all about substance with a dinner menu derived form the hotel’s working farm that includes hourly-fresh vegetables, local poultry and occasional local fish which is all but unheard of on an island surprisingly has to import most of its seafood. Dessert is a whimsical collection of homemade cakes and fruit-topped pastries served with homemade gelato.
Last Word
If awards were given for sustainable, locally sourced restaurants, Cases de Son Barbassa would take the prize on Mallorca.
