Villa Rullan - Bistro Rullan — Restaurant in Deià

Note: Food rating at the end of the review

Exterior: The bistro is located on the main street in a nice historic building. The current menu is written on a board in front of the entrance (list of dishes, not a specific price list). You can walk down a few steps to a terrace next to the building. There is a parasol on the terrace, and it is partially surrounded by trees. You can choose whether to sit in the sun or shade. The table and chairs are standard, not uncomfortable or broken. It's a nice, calm terrace.

Interior: Inside the building, on the ground floor, there is a small bar and a kitchen behind it. There is also a toilet (shared), which is nice and clean. Of course, it is possible to lock it. I didn't pay much attention to anything else as I paid at the bar (by card, otherwise at the table).

Service: The (presumably) friendly owner and the smiling, polite, and also friendly waitress were both very welcoming. A practical example: a little girl at the table next to us spilled her glass, which subsequently broke. The waitress immediately ran over and began cleaning up. When the parents apologized, she responded that they didn't need to apologize, that nothing had happened, and it was okay (said in a pleasant tone). The owner also brought a bag of children's books and paper with colored pencils to the little girl.

Food: The menu is not traditional Mallorcan, but we knew that as soon as we saw the menu board outside. I don't understand why some people complain about this in reviews. Do all restaurants and bistros in Germany only serve Wiener Schnitzel? Of course not... We only ordered the green pea soup and homemade croquettes with ham. We got a very nice...

Is there a way to give zero? I really do not understand why such great spots like this one have arrogant service people( not all of them of course but this is so unfortunate that this lovely place had this waiter) ? Because they do not need to earn money anymore? Then why are they open? We just wanted to have some drinks with my girlfriend and asked about the terrace and also if they had another part inside. And all conversation was carried in this mood: hi, is this the terrace you have? it seems so.... ah, yes sure, i meant if you have some other parts inside or another terrace at the other part of thr building or maybe hmmm how is inside? ..... yes, no hmmm ..... ok thank you and have a nice day sir.

You do not have to like people but if you work in this industry you need to respect to the people. I have been travelling the world and working as a fashion photographer. Why i am saying this, just to tell you that i am not just bombing this place with my comments just for fun, no my aim is to provide some insights to people. We were there last week , end of november and there were only 2-3 open places. I believe since there are no other options, this place will keep treating customers...

We went there for a dinner evening and found out there was a special occasion planned for that night: an Indian specialty night with a fixed menu.

When we arrived we saw the terrace and it was amazing, the view on the hill and mountains with the sunset reflected on it and trees of oranges in front with a good parfume. The ambience was impressive.

The food was good, we think that usually when there is not a special menu, it can be even better.

The serving was nice, the table was a typical bistro style. The waiters were all very friendly and helpful.

The drink menu was something new and nice, with gin coming from different locations worldwide.

Very recommended for the amazing location, nice menu and relaxing vibe in the city of Deia which definitely deserves to be...
