MAR Y MAR — Restaurant in Calvià

DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS PLACE. we loved it so much that we managed to visit twice on our holiday. Worth the hype and worth the double visit because their food and cocktail menus are fantastic. This is such a busy and well run venue. The service is so seamless, those waiting staff did not miss a beat, and they were constant. Food, sensational, we tried the sushi (they have their very own on-site sushi hut, making it fresh to order) we ordered the fish sharer to start and it was a great way to try a few dishes that we couldn't decide between, we ordered mains also but our server advised he would hold of on putting them on the till as the starter is quite big, and what a star he was, he really knows his stuff as he was correct, we wouldn't manage two mains, so we ordered the tuna steak and some sushi to share instead and it was perfect, that is the nicest tuna steak cooked to perfection I have had in a while. I didn't catch our servers name, he was a very tall gentleman and he was fantastic (he even remembered us on our second visit and said hi, even though we weren't in his section, his section seamed to be the area closest to the outdoor drinks area. He was honestly the best) our second visit after drooling over so many dishes on our first visit we we sure of what to order, we opted for the grilled octopus, I could have eaten that every single day, it was so moreish, and the whole grilled seats with a side of veg and rosemary potato's, again could not fault any of the food, it was cooked to perfection. Cocktails and mocktails were fantastic, the Pigoudet Rose is 👌👌👌 and I am a chia lover, so spying they had a chia white Russian that was 100% my dessert and it was gorgeous. Would highly recommend you book to avoid disappointment, it is a busy spot...

Very nice experience that I had here for lunch today. The service was friendly and to the point. The food was good and the location perfect.

After the bad experience that I had for lunch yesterday in an other restaurant, this was just perfect to get back into a good holiday feeling.

In order to be able to compare what good Pimentos de Padron should taste like, I ordered them again as light starters with my amazing Hugo. Now I can confidentliy say that the four star rating I gave them yesterday were not really deserved. This is what Pimentos de Padron should taste like! They were well prepared, well seasoned and presented and adding a few cloves of garlic made all the difference!

As a main course, I went for the salmon Burger with sweet potatoe fries. The fries were very tasty and well seasoned. The Burger tasted very good and well seasoned, although a bit on the salty side. The only thing I personnally enjoyed a bit less was the cooking juices of the salmon that were added on the Burger. This made the whole Burger a bit too greasy for my taste. I guess this is however a matter of taste, after all it is a Burger, not Sashimi! 🤪

The glass of wine that I had with the Burger was perfectly matched to the meal, and it was a great suggestion of the staff!

All in all it was a great experience and I will definitely come...

Mixed Experience Despite Prime Beachfront Location

The restaurant’s direct beach location is undeniably appealing, but the overall experience fell short of expectations.

Service Issues: Unfortunately, service was inconsistent. We received different items than what we ordered, which was confusing and disappointing. This might have been an off day, but it significantly impacted our dining experience.

Food Quality Concerns: The kids’ chicken burger at €15 felt overpriced for what appeared to be a processed patty rather than house-made crispy chicken. The presentation was basic - essentially just bread and chicken with no accompaniments or effort to customize it for children.

The fish platter starter showed more promise and was generally good, though the oysters were notably small, possibly indicating a subpar batch.

Final Thoughts: While the beachfront setting is the restaurant’s strongest asset, the combination of service mishaps and inconsistent food quality makes it difficult to recommend. The premium location doesn’t justify the execution issues we encountered.

Rating Consideration: The location saves this from being a complete disappointment, but significant improvements in service attention and food consistency are needed before I’d consider...
