Some dishes are recognised before they are even tasted. In this image, the prawns arrive in the kitchen in a generous pan, bathed in hot oil, with garlic, parsley and that pink colour that announces one of the most direct flavours of the Mediterranean. It is a simple preparation, but not a minor one: when the produce is good, the kitchen does not need to raise its voice.
At Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, seafood is a natural part of a proposal based on fresh fish, rice dishes and Mediterranean cuisine by the sea. The restaurant, located at Passeig des Través, 18, works with fresh produce and reminds guests on its menu that availability depends on the daily market, an essential reality when cooking beside the harbour.

A Pan Full of Sea Flavour
Garlic prawns are one of those dishes that work through balance: hot oil, garlic, precise cooking and a main ingredient that must remain juicy. The image shows that direct cooking logic clearly: the prawns are kept whole, the oil captures the colour of the seafood and the parsley adds freshness without covering the main flavour.
Ses Oliveres has already highlighted this dish as an honest preparation, made with fresh prawns, garlic, olive oil and parsley, served in a pan and designed to be enjoyed without hurry in front of Port de Sóller. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)
Fresh Produce and Daily Suggestions
The official Ses Oliveres menu includes a clear note: “Ask for our daily suggestions”. This is not a minor detail. In a seafood restaurant, daily suggestions allow the experience to adapt to the available produce, the market and what reaches the kitchen in the best condition. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)
That is why a meal at Ses Oliveres can begin with real starters from the menu such as Sóller prawn carpaccio, homemade croquettes of the day, Andalusian-style squid, chef’s mussels, fried anchovies or sea and mountain octopus. These are dishes designed for sharing and opening the table before moving on to the house specialities. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)
The Stars of Ses Oliveres: Fresh Fish and Rice Dishes
In addition to seafood, Ses Oliveres has two clear protagonists: fresh fish and rice dishes. The menu includes options such as fish and seafood rice of the day, creamy rice with Sóller prawn and squid, rice with Sóller prawn and cuttlefish and black fideuà with squid ink, all served for a minimum of two people.

The experience is completed by the fish and seafood display, where guests can choose the product and know the price before it is cooked. That transparency fits with a cuisine that works without artifice: good produce, the right cooking point and attentive service.
