If there is one thing that defines Ses Oliveres, it is its ability to surprise diners with dishes that are not part of the fixed menu, but arrive as an unexpected gift. These are seasonal creations, designed to make the most of the finest ingredients of the moment and give them a creative twist that turns them into memorable experiences. Suggestions that make every visit different and invite you to come back, because you never know what delight might appear on the specials board.
One of the most original proposals we like to bring to the table is sea nettle, a delicious aquatic plant with intense marine flavors that, whether fried or in a scramble, surprises with its delicacy.
Among the most celebrated options is fried baby squid, also known as puntillita or chopito, which is especially enjoyable as a light starter. Its crispy texture and delicate flavor make it the perfect bite to share at the beginning of a meal. Another example of originality is confit artichoke with cockle emulsion and beurre blanc, a surprising fusion that combines land and sea with a touch of French cuisine.
Prawns, another of our stars
The sea also inspires creations such as tartare of gamba panxuda, a rare variety known for the tenderness of its flesh and offering a different experience for seafood lovers. And for those who prefer something crispier, Sóller red prawns fried with lemon offer an unexpected take on one of the island’s emblematic products, adding freshness and simplicity.
Creativity also shines through in our surf-and-turf octopus, a dish that combines octopus with slow-cooked pork belly, botifarró (traditional Mallorcan sausage) and colorful mojos. Mallorcan tradition and modern techniques come together to create a unique dish full of character.
These suggestions appear only occasionally, and that is precisely their magic: tasting them is a privilege of the moment, a memory to take away for those who sit at the table on those special days.
