In recent posts from Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, we have talked about seafood rice dishes, fresh fish, black fideuà, “a la bruta” squid, garlic prawns and the importance of letting the team guide you when the daily suggestions appear. This approach makes perfect sense in September: summer begins to soften, the first rains arrive, but Mallorca still has bright, warm days when the body asks for fresh, light dishes full of flavour. The restaurant’s own website reminds guests that the suggestions depend on the available produce and the market, a way of working closely linked to seafaring cuisine. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)
September, Warm Days and Fresh Cuisine
September in Mallorca is not yet a closed autumn. According to AEMET’s normal climate values for Palma de Mallorca, this month records an average temperature of 22.2 ºC, with average highs of 27.9 ºC and average rainfall of 50 mm. In other words, the rain may begin, but warm days are still common, especially around midday. (aemet.es)
That is why a fresh suggestion like the one in the image fits this time of year so well. It shows a colourful, appetising presentation, with green leaves, sliced red onion, tomato, a citrus touch and crisp elements. It is best not to invent more than the plate shows, but it can certainly be said that it conveys exactly what September calls for: freshness, contrast and a light sensation before continuing the meal.
The Value of Daily Suggestions
The Ses Oliveres menu includes a clear note: the restaurant offers daily suggestions. This detail matters, because in a kitchen based on fresh produce, not everything should be fixed permanently on the menu. Some dishes depend on the market, the season, the catch and what the team finds in the best condition to offer that day. (ses-oliveres-port-de-soller.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com)
This philosophy also appears in recent posts from the restaurant, where suggestions made with seafood and characterful dishes such as “a la bruta” squid have been highlighted, along with the role of the fresh fish and seafood display. At Ses Oliveres, asking about the suggestions is not a secondary gesture: it is a way to eat better and adapt your choice to the moment. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)
A Light Way to Begin the Table
This type of dish works especially well as a starter. It can open a meal before moving on to the house’s great specialities, such as fresh fish, dry rice with fish and seafood of the day, creamy rice with red Sóller prawn and cuttlefish or black fideuà with Sóller prawns, all dishes listed on the current menu. (ses-oliveres-port-de-soller.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com)
It also connects well with other real starters from Ses Oliveres, such as Sóller prawn carpaccio, homemade croquettes of the day, Andalusian-style squid, chef’s mussels and fried anchovies. The difference lies in the tone: when the heat presses on, even in September, a fresh suggestion can be the perfect first bite. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)
Eating in Port de Sóller
Port de Sóller, surrounded by the Serra de Tramuntana, offers a privileged setting for enjoying a Mediterranean meal by the sea. UNESCO recognises the Serra as a World Heritage Cultural Landscape, a setting that reinforces the identity of the port and its cuisine. (whc.unesco.org)
To find out which suggestions are available each day, the best option is to ask the team when you arrive, check the Ses Oliveres menu and, if you want to secure your table, make your online reservation.
At Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, September is enjoyed like this: with fresh dishes, seasonal produce, attentive service and suggestions that let you eat according to the day, the market and the Mediterranean.
