In short, outstanding service and great food. I've been hearing about this place for weeks and we decided to try. Being sincere, the out of date entrance and the old fashioned room made me doubt my decision... until the food came. We ordered 2 days in advance cachopos (suggested by a friend who said that it'll be better this way so they could prepared it in advance), they were huge, thick and delicious. Definitely to share, one could be enough for three people. We tasted the Gran Sol, El prederido de Martin, Foie and Gorgonzola. In my opinion, the best ones were Gran Sol, well combined ingredients and soft flavor, and the Foie, bold foie flavor. I'm a huge blue cheese fan, but the gorgonzola cachopo was to overwhelming, I ate an eighth of it and I couldn't have had any more. El preferido de Martin, was good, but the caramelized onion made it too sweet for me. I've talked to some Asturian friends and they said this cachopo looks as close as you can have it in Asturias. A friend of mine told me they have also great mallorcan dishes but I haven't tasted them. Talking about the staff, they were very attentive, friendly and efficient. The price was right according to what we ate and drank. So, a place where I will...
Read moreI was lucky enough to dine at Restaurant Gran Sol twice during my recent 10 day vacation in Camp de Mar, and both meals were outstanding. This hidden gem is now one of my favorite restaurants in the area.
During my first visit, I ordered the monkfish which was expertly cooked and incredibly flavorful. The fish was so fresh and the seasoning brought out the best in the delicate meat. My second time at Gran Sol, I opted for the steak which was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. Both entrees were accompanied by excellent sides that complemented the mains.
Aside from the fabulous food, the service at Gran Sol is relaxed and friendly. Our servers were attentive without being overbearing, and they took time to explain the menu and make recommendations. The prices are also very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the ingredients and preparation.
The ambiance is lovely as well, with a charming and cozy interior that makes you feel right at home. Gran Sol has it all - delicious food, warm service, charming atmosphere, and affordable prices. I couldn't recommend this Camp de Mar gem more highly. It's now my go-to restaurant when I'm in the area and...
Read moreWe ate as a party of 5 on 4th July 2023. The food that I had was good - a goats cheese salad followed by chicken. However, the service was terrible. We had to chase them for our starters which came approximately an hour and 15 minutes after we placed our order. There was no preemptive information or apology from the staff. After we chased, we were told that this was because we had ordered paella for mains. I cannot understand why this would make our starters late which included 2 salads & calamari. There was a lack of empathy & apology from staff about the situation. They overcharged our bill - we had clearly ordered 2 portions of bread and not 5. Likewise, 2 glasses of beer and not 1. This was corrected but again after push back from the staff and a lack of apology. I do not normally post such negative reviews but the service we received was diabolical & off-hand. We have found service in restaurants & cafes in Majorca to generally be good...
