A table with several dishes in the centre completely changes the way we eat. It is no longer about choosing “my dish” and waiting, but about tasting, sharing, commenting and letting the meal unfold at its own pace. That spirit fits especially well with the proposal at Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, where starters, fresh fish, rice dishes and daily suggestions make it easy to build a Mediterranean meal designed to be enjoyed together.
Located at Passeig des Través, 18, on the seafront in Port de Sóller, the restaurant bases its cuisine on fresh fish, seafood and rice dishes, along with other Mediterranean options. Ses Oliveres itself explains that guests can choose fish from the daily display and have it cooked to order.
Start by Sharing
One of the best ways to discover a menu is to order several starters and place them in the centre of the table. At Ses Oliveres, real options include homemade croquettes of the day, Andalusian-style squid, Galician clams, fried anchovies, coca bread with tomato and Sóller prawn carpaccio. There are also fresher choices, such as seasonal tomato with burrata or warm quinoa salad.
It is an especially enjoyable formula when everyone at the table has different tastes. Something crisp, something from the sea, something fresh and a cold drink make it easy to begin the meal without hurry while deciding what comes next.
And, of course, it is always worth asking about the daily suggestions. In a kitchen that works with fresh produce, availability can change, and that is precisely part of the appeal: discovering what has arrived and what the team recommends at that moment. The Ses Oliveres menu keeps this focus on market produce.
Then, Rice or Fresh Fish
Once the table has opened with several starters, one of the important decisions arrives: rice or fish?
Among the specialities Ses Oliveres has highlighted are creamy rice with Sóller red prawns and cuttlefish, black fideuà with Sóller prawns, fish and seafood rice dishes and other preparations cooked to order and designed for sharing.
The other option is to head to the display and choose the fish or seafood available that day. The restaurant explains that the product is weighed and the price is given before cooking, so guests know exactly what they have chosen and can take advice on the most suitable preparation.
A Meal That Does Not Need to Be Rushed
Port de Sóller invites exactly that. To sit down, order a few dishes to share and let the meal develop naturally from the first starters to the rice, the fish or the sobremesa.
The location of Ses Oliveres, facing the harbour and beside the landscape of the Serra de Tramuntana, completes a proposal where eating well also means enjoying the time spent around the table.

Because some of the best meals do not begin with a main course, but with several dishes in the centre and the inevitable question: “shall we try a bit of everything?”
