Mamboreta — Restaurant in Pollença

Possibly our best breakfast in Port de Pollença!

We stumbles upon this place on our third or fourth day in this resort, and for a beach front place, it's not just incredible value, but the food and coffee was lovely. Then on top of that, the staff were all very friendly and chatty.

The Pa amb oli was my favourite breakfast item because they toasted the bread - which for me was brilliant as the local brownish bread which every place uses is a bit... Soggy and bland. But toast it, and you're grand!

The veggies were not fresh (maybe some frozen?), but it was a massive portion. I don’t have a fridge, so I left half a plate of food there which I felt guilty about. Additionally, the waiter was working very hard - but looked miserable. Would not recommend going there by yourself, it just felt impersonal and uncomfortable… and too much food if you’re not sharing it. If you have an uncomplicated taste palette and don’t like spice - it’s probably fine. If I went again, I would have instead chosen...

During our trip to Puerto Pollenca we eat here on a number of occasions during the day time. Its is directly across from Tamarells Beach. We had a lovely brunch here for a family and it was excellent value and the food was fabulous. The staff were ever so friendly and welcoming. Coffee is also great and worth stopping in for food or coffee. Lovely atmosphere here and great deco to relax in and watch...
