Some dishes taste like the Mediterranean even before you take the first bite. You can feel it in the way the sunlight filters through the olive trees in Port de Sóller, and in how the aroma of the sea and wood smoke mingles with that of freshly cooked rice. At Ses Oliveres, this magic comes to life every day with their dry rice with the day’s fish and seafood, a house specialty that perfectly embodies the restaurant’s philosophy: fresh local produce, Mallorcan tradition, and a deep respect for authentic flavor.
Before reaching the table, the stars of this dish are carefully chosen from the restaurant’s fish display, a showcase that looks like a small seaside market. There you’ll find the treasures of the Mediterranean — John Dory, red prawns, scampi, cuttlefish, mussels, and rock fish, all freshly delivered from the local fishing boats. Depending on the day’s catch, the kitchen team prepares the rice with a unique combination of seafood, always achieving that perfect “socarrat” and an intensely flavored stock that brings the sea to your palate.
What would you like to have with it?
Each bite captures the effort of the fisherman, the care of the chef, and the calm of the island setting. It’s a dish made for sharing, ideally paired with a fresh seasonal salad or a glass of Mallorcan white wine, perhaps a Tramuntana blend or a crisp Prensal with citrus notes that highlight the flavors of the sea.
Enjoying it on the terrace of Ses Oliveres, overlooking the seafront promenade with the sound of the waves in the background, is more than a meal — it’s a celebration of Mediterranean life in its purest form.
