Ca Na Toneta

In Caimari, the olive-grove village at the foot of the climb to Lluc, sisters Maria and Teresa Solivellas run an eating house that has done more than almost anyone to revive the recipes and larder of inland Mallorca. Their mother, Catalina Rotger, is head gardener of the vegetable plot that feeds the kitchen; the rest comes from farmers and fishermen they deal with directly, and Ca na Toneta was a pioneer in bringing back native varieties that had fallen out of use. In 2024 the Michelin Guide gave it a Green Star for that way of working. There's no menu to choose from: a single tasting menu of strictly seasonal food is served, and you don't know beforehand what will arrive. It follows a set structure (a liquid and a solid starter, a savoury coca, fish, meat and dessert, in practice with a few extra courses) and makes room for what restaurants tend to forget, such as soups, vegetables and pulses. What defines the house is the lack of artifice: just enough technique, the flavours of home cooking and handmade tableware. The wine list is island wines, plenty of them natural, and the sommelier is a good guide. You dine in a village house with a vine-covered terrace in summer; next door, with a garden, there's a shop selling Mallorcan produce and crafts. Go knowing what to expect: anyone after showy haute cuisine for the price comes away disappointed, and anyone looking for the taste of inland Mallorca will find few places like it.
