The place has existed for many years and, in fact, the grandparents of the current owners were the ones who set up the booth in 1957 and the bar a few years later. The new generation has adapted the decoration to a very fresh style, with Balinese umbrellas and old colored shutters.
The place is so well known many palmesanos move here , north of Majorca, to enjoy paella on Sunday . If you arrive less hungry, you can opt for some of their starters: such as octopus croquettes with Iberian ham, ceviche or fish tartare of the day.

In this proposal there is no menu and the same menu is never served, since the composition of the dishes changes according to the seasons of the year. This season there are ten dishes that make it up, starting with a trio of refreshing smoothies (detoxifying, antioxidant and toning). They are then served exotic fruits that the waiter proceeds to water (literally, with a watering can) from a infusion of herbs and flowers .
