A Mediterranean delicacy that only appears occasionally
In the heart of Port de Sóller, Ses Oliveres delights its guests with off-menu creations that elevate the dining experience to another level. One of the most special is, without a doubt, the Mallorcan rock octopus, a delicacy that is not always available and, precisely for that reason, becomes a true culinary treasure.
This product, traditionally caught along the coasts of Mallorca, stands out for its firm texture, intense flavor, and authentic character. Unlike common octopus, rock octopus offers a more consistent bite and a deeper taste profile, making it the absolute star of any dish.
The Ses Oliveres approach: flavor, technique, and local produce
When rock octopus reaches the kitchen at Ses Oliveres, it is treated with the utmost respect, using techniques that enhance its natural essence. The result is a dish where the balance between tradition and innovation can be appreciated in every bite.
Cooked to perfection—slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—this octopus is often accompanied by Mediterranean touches such as extra virgin olive oil, paprika, sea salt flakes, or smooth creams that enhance its flavor without overpowering it. At times, it may be served over a base of potatoes or with emulsions that add freshness and contrast.

Seasonal product: an exclusive experience
Rock octopus is not available all year round, which makes it a very special suggestion within the restaurant’s gastronomic offering. Its presence depends on local fishing and the availability of fresh produce, following a culinary philosophy based on quality and sustainability.
This approach is closely connected to the richness of the surroundings of Puerto de Sóller, a privileged area where the sea and fishing traditions are part of the local identity. Tasting this dish at Ses Oliveres is not just about eating—it’s about connecting with the land and its most authentic flavors.
