The golden colour of the aioli tells the story before the knife even touches the plate. In the image, the cod gratinated with aioli is served on a base of sliced potatoes, with white, juicy fish covered by a toasted layer that adds creaminess, aroma and that warm touch so recognisable in Mediterranean cuisine. It is a clean presentation, without excess, designed to keep the product at the centre.
At Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, this dish forms part of a proposal based on fresh fish, seafood, rice dishes and Mediterranean cuisine on the seafront. The restaurant is located at Passeig des Través, 18, facing the bay of Port de Sóller, a setting where the sea is not just decoration: it is part of the experience.
Cod Gratinated with Aioli: Simplicity Done Well
The cod gratinated with aioli appears on the current Ses Oliveres menu and also has its own entry on the restaurant’s blog, where it is described as served on sliced panadera-style potatoes and topped with gratinated aioli. It is a real dish from the house and a good choice for those looking for a tasty, balanced main course that is less hearty than a rice dish, but still full of Mediterranean character.

The key lies in the contrast. On one side, the cod flesh, white and firm. On the other, the gratinated aioli, which adds richness and a light toasted note. Underneath, the potatoes absorb the juices and round off the dish without stealing the spotlight. It is a direct, recognisable recipe, closely linked to that harbour cuisine that knows how to work with fish without hiding it.
A Seafood Alternative Within the Menu
Although Ses Oliveres is especially known for its fresh fish, its rice dishes and its seafood plates, the gratinated cod holds an interesting place on the menu: it allows guests to enjoy a fish dish prepared in the kitchen, already plated, with a classic garnish and a very Mediterranean sauce.
For those who prefer to share something first, the menu offers starters such as Sóller prawn carpaccio, homemade croquettes of the day, Andalusian-style squid, chef’s mussels and fried anchovies. Afterwards, the gratinated cod can work perfectly as a main course, especially for anyone looking for a seafood option different from rice dishes or from the fish chosen from the display.

Produce, Service and Daily Suggestions
One of the values of Ses Oliveres is its attention to the produce available and to the daily suggestions. In a restaurant where fish and seafood depend on the market, letting the team guide you helps you choose better: what to share, which main course to order, what quantity is suitable and which preparation best fits each table.
This attentive service is also part of the experience. It is not only about eating by the sea, but about feeling accompanied by a team that knows the menu and can recommend according to the moment, the appetite and the produce available.
