Restaurant es Molí d'es Racó — Restaurant in es Mercadal

It is definitely an experience coming to this restaurant... beyond the food experience. We came late for dinner on a Thursday night on mid August: people was queuing all through the stars from top to the street! Crazy!This is definitely a very popular place, so reservation is a must: go straight to any waiter to give a ticket with your reservation....and wait...

Menu is very broad with a lot of local specialities. These might not be the top ones in taste but good all together. Meats were extremely good though!

Unsure if all service always the same, but the one we got was extremely good: very firendly and he kept bringing "house free" dishes!

Prices are on the high end, but it comes with the overall "experience" :-)

Recommended at least for once!

We went on a Sunday, which is normally busy, but this was a Sunday celebration of St.Nicolau, it was packed! Appetizers arrived promptly,( small fried squid, octopus and mussels),all excellent and done to perfection. The main course took a bit longer but nothing terrible. Grilled squid, perfect, entrecot perfect, cordon bleu-perfect and enormous, The goats leg was the icing on the cake, out of this world delicious. All the plates were very abundant, and even 1/2 portions are available on some plates. A daily menu is also available. Typical Menorquín dishes is what "el Moli" is known for. Compliments to the waiters!! Keeping their cool under pressure, professionalism at its best!! If you are looking for traditional kitchen, a must do! Shared appetizers, main course, and a few desserts...

The staff were friendly and the place has a certain good atmosphere. However, the food was quiet basic. I choose lamb chops and wish I had looked at photos beforehand. As many have already said they were ribs with very little meat on the bone. See the photo. They were a lot of work to eat but tasted good if a little too salty. We shared a starter that may not be on the menu and it was delicious (thinly sliced tomato and menorcan cheese with oregano, we choose not to have the capers on top). See the photo. We also had menorcan style squid which was good. It seems that most plates are protein plus fried potatoes. The house wine was not great. Overall I would say it was poor...
