Los Patos Restaurant — Restaurant in Alcúdia

Los Patos Restaurant offers a memorable and warmly inviting dining experience, backed by excellent service, a relaxing ambiance, and a kitchen that clearly takes pride in its food. Nestled in a picturesque setting, the atmosphere is one of its strongest assets—elegant yet unpretentious, with a welcoming feel that makes you want to stay a while.

From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. We were seated without a reservation, and the staff remained attentive, professional, and genuinely hospitable throughout the evening. The restaurant is also notably clean and well-maintained, adding to the overall sense of quality and care.

The open-air setting does come with a minor challenge: mosquitoes. However, the staff is proactive in addressing this, providing mosquito spray and incense to keep guests comfortable. Thankfully, we didn’t experience any bites, which allowed us to enjoy the meal uninterrupted.

Now to the food—Los Patos truly shines here. We started with the glass bread and croquettes, and they were so outstanding we ordered them three times. Perfectly crisp, flavorful, and beautifully presented—these appetizers alone are worth the visit. The roasted vegetables were also a standout: fresh, perfectly seasoned, and an ideal complement to the heartier mains.

As someone who reviews professionally and often orders multiple entrees, I tried both the beef filet and the lamb chops. The filet was flavorful, though slightly on the chewy side. Unfortunately, the lamb chop dish included a small piece of metal sponge—a serious but clearly unintentional oversight. To their credit, the team responded immediately with concern, removed the dish, and offered a replacement. I declined, as I had already ordered a second entrée. The way the issue was handled—promptly and respectfully—reflects well on the integrity of the restaurant and its ownership.

Dessert was also enjoyable and rounded out the meal on a sweet, satisfying note.

The owners were present and engaged, adding a personal touch that’s often missing in larger or more commercial venues. Their pride in the restaurant is evident in both the food and the hospitality.

In summary, Los Patos delivers an excellent dining experience that combines exceptional service, delicious cuisine, and a beautiful ambiance. While no restaurant is perfect, it’s how challenges are handled that often defines the overall experience—and Los Patos passed that test with grace. We would absolutely return and recommend it...

A famous Restaurateur once said, "A great restaurant doesn't distinguish itself by how few mistakes it makes, but by how well they handle those mistakes." Let me be clear, the food at Los Patos is wonderful, and the waiters and waitresses are excellent. The facilities are very beautiful, both inside and out. We were a group of 10, three friends from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Austria who decided to meet up in Mallorca with our families, and to celebrate our last night on the island we decided to come here. Everything went wonderfully, until, when it was time to pay the bill, there was a small mix-up that caused the bill to be issued twice. At one point, the owner of the restaurant, came out hysterically to complain about this situation, and there was no way to de-escalate this man's anger. He was rude to everyone, including the ladies, and didn't care that we had small children with us. Now we know that Los Patos is a place where celebration is not welcome. I have the impression that Mr. Font didn't like us laughing, singing, and clapping our hands to the musicians' songs (perhaps this annoyed his regular customers, who, from what we could see, don't even remember how to smile). Anyway, my congratulations to all the chefs in the kitchen and all the waiters for their professionalism and quality. If you want to go to this restaurant to celebrate and live life at the table, I recommend you do so very quietly, or you might unleash the fury of the family owner.Guys: If you are used to mistreating your Mallorcan customers, I recommend you remember that the world is bigger than Mallorca and not everyone will tolerate your rudeness. P.S. There are many, many biting mosquitoes, cover yourself with repellent...

We tried many restaurants in Mallorca but none were as magical and delicious as Los Patos. Yes there are breathing views at some restaurants and some great food at others but the service, the food and ambiance at Los Patos was all on point and made for a perfect evening of mallorcan cuisine. You felt right at home from the moment you walk in. There were accents from all over the world dining there including Mallorquino and it was clear why people came from all corners to dine here.

We started with the gambas al ajillo, pulpo a la plancha, calamares andaluz and even the pan cristal was special! Gabriel the owner recommended we also try the Tumbet which was also amazing.

For our main dishes the solomillo and the paletilla de cordero were standouts. If you ask my 10yr old daughter she would argue that the spaghetti bolognese from the kids menu was the winner. My wife had the cuttle fish (sepia) salad which was fresh and delicious.

Dessert was the cherry on top with the Maria Crujiente cake taking the top honor and the Banoffee a solid second.

Would recommend this experience for lunch or dinner. We...
