This place is knocking out some seriously fantastic food.
We come to Soller for many reasons, one being the really incredible food here at places like C’an Boqueta and Nacarat.
Alemany wasn’t actually on our radar but we chose to stay at C’al Bisbe this year as there is a pool here. The restaurant is part of the hotel so we decided to dine here on our first night. We’re so glad we did. Every ingredient is of a high quality. For example, even something as simple as the pan con tomate that we love to eat was a higher standard. The bread, the oil, the salt and tomato all excellent. We shared the soller prawn carpaccio last night and they tasted like the prawns I would eat as a child, (before mass production) with avocado, lemon sorbet and almonds there to enhance, not take over. I had an elegant monkfish main which was well balanced and light on my tummy. My husband said his suckling pig was very good, complemented by a touch of bitter* orange sauce.
We have come back for lunch today and again, exceptional. The anchovy on toast, chicken croquettes simple but faultless. More Sunday roast chicken than the overpowering bechamel that sometimes comes. And the tuna tartare in brioche was like having an Asian lobster roll. Big chunks of tuna with the loveliest Asian sauce.
If you want somewhere blingy and loud, this is not the place. But we have found the setting charming and the attentive, friendly service is the cherry on top. We would like to come back here next time we come to Soller.
*I have just seen the restaurant’s reply to the review and realised I originally incorrectly wrote ‘burnt orange sauce’ not ‘bitter orange sauce’ as described on the menu. It was all delicious, we can...
Read moreAlemany was one of, if not THE BEST dinner experience of our entire trip in Mallorca! This place is going to blow up so try and go now before you can't get a reservation. The food was absolutely spectacular and wildly delicious. The plating was impeccable and our experience was fantastic. But what pushes this restaurant into the exceptional level was the service. We were personally taken through the menu by chef Joan. He was so kind, knowledgeable and passionate about his food and restaurant that you couldn't help but want to order everything. It's a family run business, his sister working in the kitchen with him as well and his younger brother works as the server. I am telling you (and we are from LA) you will have a wonderful night and enjoy a truly wonderful...
Read moreThis is a new restaurant established by Joan Alemany who was the chef at La Residencia's Tramuntana Grill and his sister who used to be at Lluna 36 - a good pedigree. The cooking is excellent and must rank amongst the best in Soller - now is probably a great time to visit because as the season progresses and the word gets out it's sure to get very busy. I had anchovies to start served on delicious brioche toast followed by Seabass with gnocchi - the fish was cooked perfectly, it was fantastic. My wife had salmon salad followed by pork in an orange sauce both also very good. To finish we shared the orange and almond cake that was moist and a great way to end...
