Right by the harbour, where fishing boats return each morning with the treasures of the Mediterranean, Ses Oliveres celebrates the sea’s freshness in its purest form. In its kitchen, the spotlight shines on local seafood, products that capture the essence of Sóller: flavour, authenticity, and respect for nature.
The Sóller red prawn is, without a doubt, the crown jewel. Caught off Mallorca’s north coast at depths of between 400 and 800 metres, it’s easily recognised by its deep red colour and naturally sweet taste. It’s one of the most prized products in the Mediterranean, and at Ses Oliveres it’s served in its simplest and most delicious forms: fried with a touch of lemon, grilled, or featured in creative daily specials inspired by the catch of the day.
The lobster, sourced from the cold waters of the Atlantic and western Mediterranean, is prepared in several ways — grilled, in a soupy rice dish, or in a seafood fideuà — always seeking harmony between the firm texture of the shellfish and the delicacy of the broth.
The scarlet shrimp, with its juicy flesh and unmistakable coral-red hue, brings intensity and depth to the menu. It’s a favourite among seafood lovers and shines especially in rice dishes or grilled, where its head — rich in flavourful juices — becomes a true delicacy.
And of course, there’s the rock octopus, a Port de Sóller classic. Firm, flavourful, and full of character, it’s cooked on the grill or in “surf and turf” dishes that combine the essence of land and sea in a single bite.
Each of these seafoods tells a story — of fishermen, markets, and recipes passed down with care. At Ses Oliveres, that story is served with a view of the harbour, a glass of Mallorcan white wine, and the certainty that you’re tasting the very best the Mediterranean has to offer.
