Authentic Mallorcan food is the traditional robust peasant method based on fish, pork, vegetables, lamb cooked in olive oil and oftentimes using almonds as a thickener for stews, sauces and soups. Almonds are grounded first.

Lomo con col in the menu is actually pork loin enfold in cabbage which is then simmered with pine nuts. Suckling pig or Lechona is a cuisine that is served for fiesta celebration or any special celebrations. This is made tender by long gradual roasting most often in wood-fired ovens. Try the succulent crispy skin of this Mallorcan delicacy and taste pork at its best.
