I recently had the pleasure of dining at Raco Verd, a charming restaurant and bar located in the picturesque town of Carrer de Pere Escanellas, Sant Josep de sa Talaia. From the moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with a warm welcome by the lovely English gentleman who owns the place. His passion for the island was evident as he shared stories of how he fell in love with Sant Josep de sa Talaia many years ago and even got married in the church across the street.
The restaurant itself exudes a delightful ambiance, with a cozy and intimate setting that instantly made me feel at ease. The interior is tastefully decorated, combining rustic charm with a touch of elegance. The attention to detail is remarkable, and it's clear that the owner has put thought into creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for guests.
Now, let's talk about the food. Raco Verd offers a menu that showcases both local and international flavors, providing a diverse range of options to satisfy different tastes. From traditional Spanish dishes to contemporary fusion creations, there is something for everyone here. The ingredients used are fresh and of high quality, resulting in dishes that are not only visually appealing but also bursting with flavor. I particularly enjoyed the seafood dishes, which were prepared to perfection and showcased the best of the Mediterranean.
The bar at Raco Verd deserves special mention as well. It offers an impressive selection of wines, spirits, and cocktails, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to recommend a drink that suits your preferences.
What sets Raco Verd apart, however, is the personal touch provided by the owner. He takes the time to interact with his guests, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and well taken care of. His genuine passion for the island and its culinary delights shines through in every aspect of the dining experience.
Overall, Raco Verd is a hidden gem in Sant Josep de sa Talaia. It offers a combination of excellent food, a cozy ambiance, and exceptional hospitality. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a casual evening with friends, this little restaurant/bar is the perfect choice. I highly recommend visiting Raco Verd and experiencing its warm and welcoming atmosphere for yourself.

The service is really excellent and the staff speak both Spanish and English but I really appreciated them taking the time to speak to me in Spanish to give me a chance to practice speaking. Food is lovely, comes out pretty quick and the homemade guacamole in particular is really good. Not the cheapest menu in the world but worth every penny plus the tip I happily left at the end, I'll definitely be...
Read moreIt's a great option for dinner especially for a family. Sitting in a courtyard covered by vines, the food comes quickly and mix of tapas and mexican is tasty and hearty. The nachos is enough for a table of five .. we ordered two and the waiter politely guided us towards just one. Tacos and enchiladas were fresh (maybe missing a whiff of coriander) and for me the ribs stood out and shouted above all other parts of the menu.
Staff were excellent and 80 euro including wine for five was...
