Sa Taverna — Restaurant in Alcúdia

After the day spent on the beach, while walking in the nice Alcudia's city center, we decided to stop for an aperitif. It was too early for the dinner so the place was empty and quite. The waiter immediately told us that the tables in the inner courtyard are only available to people eating something, while for drinking there are the tables outside, along the street. For this reason we decided to accompany the drinks with tapas and we did get into the courtyard. The shadow in the late afternoon makes that place relaxing and refreshing. In 7 people we took two times the mixed tapas plate (6 different tapas each). Good taste and quick service. I have to remark the great sangria which I had the pleasure to drink. I am not an expert of sangria but that one was something and had a lot of fruits pieces. The prices are aligned with the other restaurants of the city center... it is a tourist place hence you pay a...

Very terrible food and service. We ordered sea paella and mix paella. As we ordered both paellas for several people, the waitress divided the paella into plates and then just took the dish even though there was still food inside. Sea paella had clamps suspicious colour, mixed paella had almost no chicken, rice in both paella had dry rice like it was old and just heated. Children orderd burgers. We asked what is in it. They told us, black angus, cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon. In burger there was just some kind of grind meat. Nothing else. Cezar salad had only 2 bite size pieces of chicken and one piecee of tomato. We all ate a little bit because we were already very hungry but we all left our plates quite full. Despite this the waitress never once asked us if there was anything else we needed or if everything was ok. We are sorry that we did not refuse the food and...

Kurz: Tolle Lage, Vegetarische Optionen, exzellentes Personal, schnelle Zubereitung, gehobene Preise, sehr gutes Essen.

Lang: Von einer sehr freundlichen alten Dame angesprochen und überzeugt bin ich mit meiner (sehr wählerischen) Freundin in das Restaurant gegangen. Der erste Eindruck war ernüchternd. Die Bedienung kurz angebunden, man würdigte uns kaum eines Blickes. Da es gerade Stoßzeit war mussten wir ein paar Minuten auf unseren Tisch warten. Als wir jedoch im Hinterhof Platz genommen hatten wurden wir behandelt wie ein Adelsgeschlecht. Wir entschieden uns für einen Rosé und die gemischte Grillfleischplatte für 2 Personen. Getränke und Essen kamen sehr schnell (gefühlte 15 Minuten) und in einer atemberaubenden Qualität. Einzig das Huhn war etwas trocken aber es ist halt Huhn. Geschmacklich weit vorne mit dabei war das Rindfleisch. Noch leicht blutig und saftig aber auch sehr zart. Die Kellner waren freundlich, geduldig, sprachlich versiert, fröhlich und zuverlässig schnell. Preislich etwas höher angesiedelt aber noch vollkommen angemessen. Fazit: Ich glaube allein für das Restaurant würde ich wieder nach Mallorca fliegen. Absolut empfehlenswert.

In short: Great location, vegetarian options, excellent staff, quick preparation, upscale prices, very good food. Lang: Addressed by a very friendly old lady and convinced I went with my (very picky) girlfriend in the restaurant. The first impression was sobering. The service short tailed, they hardly paid us a glance. Since it was just rush hour we had to wait a few minutes for our table. However, when we were seated in the backyard we were treated like a noble family. We chose a rosé and the mixed grill meat plate for 2 people. Drinks and food came very fast (felt 15 minutes) and in a breathtaking quality. Only the chicken was a bit dry but it's just chicken. The beef was far ahead in terms of taste. Still slightly bloody and juicy but also very tender. The waiters were friendly, patient, linguistically savvy, happy and reliable fast. Priced a bit higher but still perfectly adequate. Conclusion: I think alone for the restaurant I would fly back to Mallorca. Highly...
