Restaurant La Fortaleza, Cap Rocat — Restaurant in Llucmajor

This rating is focusing on the food. For the price tag of 140 euros per person it was one of the most disappointing gastronomical experience. The flavour lacked in almost every dish and were very bland. Anything that was fried felt too oily. We requested at some point to skip certain stages so we can finish the meal. I also have never said this before but there are too many courses. Parts of each course felt ok but overall an extremely disappointing experience considering the price tag and environment. Restaurant service was decent.

Just to add to the experience, perhaps they want to introduce the Arab flavours into the restaurant considering the hotel is trying to showcase “Arab/islamic” influence in their outfits.

Lastly the experience felt not very fulfilled because restaurant is currently indoors which is fine but it doesn’t make you appreciate the property. It would be nice if the staff allowed you to at least explore part of the hotel to add to the experience.

We had dinner at La Fortaleza during the first week of July. The restaurant and the hotel are gorgeous and beautiful to enjoy dinner. With the exception of the maitre, who was very overwhelmed, the service was good.

The dinner in terms of food was the worst gastronomical experience I’ve had in my life. I hate to use this word, but some of the dishes were just disgusting. We considered asking the servers to stop bringing food because we were really struggling trying to eat the dishes. However we decided to continue knowing we would still have to pay for the full menu. The second part of the menu was decent but certainly not what you expect for a 150 euro pero person dinner in Spain. We complained to the maitre, who got very defensive and said it was a matter of our American taste (I’m actually Spanish) and not an issue with the food. The people sitting next to us actually told the restaurant to stop serving food to them because they didn’t like it.

I repeat every year. They have an amazing menu with many different flavors from Mallorca. You can start with a cocktail or maybe a glass of wine while you enjoy the appetizers looking at the nightfall. Then they’ll take you to your table and continue with the menu. Every step of it is worth it, you’ll find high quality and fresh ingredients mixed with the perfect seasoning on each plate. My last year favorites were the lobster and the black pork ( which I’ll try to post a pic ). I don’t drink wine, but they have an extended drinks menu and the sommelier Lucas really knows what he’s talking about. Everyone there were really nice and polite making my experience even better. I already booked my reservation for this year in June and I cannot wait to see what they have prepared. This is one of the best restaurants in Mallorca and I don’t understand how can they not have the Michelin star...
