Restaurant Alcalde — Restaurant in es Mercadal

Absolutely terrible experience. Maybe this place is oriented only for those who came for dinner, but it's not written at the entrance.

The stroganoff looked like mince morsels. Tasted ok but looked totally unappetising. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for food but the views...
