Rice is one of the house’s most recognisable specialities. Ses Oliveres serves both dry and creamy versions and places them, together with fresh fish and seafood, at the heart of its gastronomic proposal. The restaurant’s own website highlights its creamy rice with Sóller red prawns as one of its essentials and explains that it is prepared with an intense stock, cooked slowly until it reaches an enveloping texture while the grain still keeps its identity. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

The Difference Lies in the Creaminess

A creamy rice dish is neither brothy rice nor dry rice. Its texture should remain moist and bound together, with enough stock to coat each grain without turning the dish into a soup. This consistency is precisely one of the characteristics Ses Oliveres highlights in its rice dishes: concentrated flavour, a carefully prepared stock and precise cooking. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

When temperatures begin to fall slightly, this texture becomes even more appealing. The warm stock, the depth of the sofrito and the flavour of the sea turn the rice into one of those dishes that invite you to eat more slowly. It needs no unnecessary embellishment. The depth comes from the stock and the quality of the ingredients.

Sóller Red Prawns, the Star of the Dish

The Sóller red prawn plays a central role in this speciality. Ses Oliveres uses it in both dry and creamy rice dishes, together with cuttlefish or “sipió”, a combination the restaurant itself describes as one of its most celebrated specialities. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

The prawn is not simply a garnish. Its flavour is integrated into the rice and provides the marine intensity that defines the dish. The cuttlefish completes the combination and reinforces its distinctly Mediterranean character.

At Ses Oliveres, rice dishes are also understood through a very specific philosophy: fresh produce, a close relationship with the sea and respect for seasonality. Each preparation starts from this same idea, which also applies to the fish chosen from the daily display and to the rest of the market-led dishes. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

A Rice Dish Made for Sharing

Rice also has something ritualistic about it. It is placed at the centre of the table, served out and naturally slows the pace of the meal. That is one of the reasons why it works so well for two people, for a family lunch or for a meal with friends.

The rice tradition at Ses Oliveres includes different proposals, but the creamy rice with Sóller red prawns and cuttlefish is especially appealing on these first cooler days. The restaurant already recommends it as an option full of seafood flavour and with just the right degree of creaminess. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

Autumn Flavours in Front of Port de Sóller

Eating it on the seafront in Port de Sóller adds the perfect setting. The cuisine at Ses Oliveres combines rice dishes, fresh fish and seafood with a location overlooking the bay, and the arrival of milder days makes sitting down for a relaxed meal even more inviting. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

When September begins to cool down, a creamy rice with Sóller red prawns and cuttlefish has everything you want: warmth, depth, seafood produce and a table facing the Mediterranean.

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.

In a restaurant located at Passeig des Través, 18, on the seafront in Port de Sóller, fresh fish and seafood are not just a detail on the menu, but a central part of the experience. The Ses Oliveres website itself defines its proposal around fresh fish, rice dishes and seafood, with Mediterranean cuisine connected to the harbour and to the produce available each day.

From the Display to the Table

One of the hallmarks of Ses Oliveres is that guests can choose fresh fish from the daily display. This way of working allows diners to see the product before ordering, check the price and take advice from the team on the most suitable preparation. Not every fish calls for the same treatment: some work better baked, others grilled, fried or cooked into a seafood rice dish.

The image fits perfectly with this philosophy. The langoustines and fish appear as the true protagonists, without being hidden behind complex preparations. In harbour cuisine, that transparency matters: the dish begins long before it reaches the table, when the right piece is chosen.

Seafood to Share

Seafood has an obvious virtue: it turns the beginning of a meal into a shared moment. On the Ses Oliveres menu, you can find seafood starters and dishes such as red prawn carpaccio, garlic scarlet prawns, chef’s mussels, fried anchovies, Andalusian-style squid and homemade croquettes of the day, as well as daily suggestions depending on the market.

That is why it is worth asking. Sometimes the best choice is not written permanently on the menu, but found in what has arrived that day and in how the team recommends preparing it. A seafood portion can open the meal before a rice dish; a piece of fresh fish can become the centre of the table; a suggestion can make the difference between eating well and remembering lunch for days.

The House Stars: Fresh Fish and Rice Dishes

Ses Oliveres is also a strong choice for anyone looking for rice dishes by the sea. The menu includes proposals such as dry rice with fish and seafood of the day and creamy rice with red Sóller prawn and cuttlefish, both served for a minimum of two people. The restaurant also prepares black fideuà with Sóller prawns, an intense seafood option for those who prefer noodles instead of rice.

These dishes depend greatly on the quality of the stock, the cooking point of the rice and the product that accompanies them. That is why the display and the daily suggestions make so much sense: fish, seafood, rice and service are all part of the same conversation.

Fresh Produce in Port de Sóller

Port de Sóller is surrounded by the Serra de Tramuntana, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a cultural landscape, a setting where sea and mountains meet naturally.

To discover the current offer, you can check the Ses Oliveres menu or make your online reservation.

At Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, fresh fish and seafood are understood through the product itself: choose well, cook to order and let the Mediterranean speak clearly.

La entrada Seafood and Fresh Fish at Ses Oliveres se publicó primero en Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller.

In a restaurant located at Passeig des Través, 18, on the seafront in Port de Sóller, drinks are not a minor detail. They are part of the rhythm of the meal: a glass before ordering, a vermouth with something to share, a wine to accompany the rice or a liqueur to close the sobremesa. The Ses Oliveres website presents the restaurant as a proposal based on fresh fish, rice dishes and seafood in an exceptional location, and that experience also passes through the bar.

Jimmy, in Charge of the Bar

Jimmy is the one who prepares the drinks and keeps the pulse of the Ses Oliveres bar. His work shows in the details: a well-served glass, just the right amount of ice, fruit placed with care, the right tumbler and the time needed for each drink to leave the bar with presence.

His role is discreet, but essential. A good aperitif can open the meal lightly; a well-recommended glass can better accompany a rice dish; a liqueur served at the right moment can close the experience without hurry. At Ses Oliveres, bar service is part of that close attention that helps each table find its own rhythm.

Aperitifs to Begin by the Sea

The current Ses Oliveres menu offers real starters that fit very well with this first moment of the meal. Among them are Iberian acorn-fed ham, Padrón peppers, coca bread with tomato, tuna carpaccio, red prawn carpaccio, Andalusian-style squid, fried anchovies, garlic scarlet prawns, homemade croquettes of the day, warm quinoa salad and seasonal tomato salad with burrata. The menu also reminds guests that the restaurant offers daily suggestions.

This combination makes it easy to create a Mediterranean aperitif without complication: something crisp, something fresh, something from the sea and a well-chosen drink. A vermouth, a glass of white wine, a cold beer or a glass of cava can accompany that beginning perfectly. Ses Oliveres has already highlighted the culture of vermouth by the sea, with small bites, fresh drinks and a terrace in Port de Sóller.

Drinks, Liqueurs and Sobremesa

The bar also matters at the end of the meal. After a dry rice with fish and seafood of the day, a black fideuà with Sóller prawns or a creamy rice with red Sóller prawn and cuttlefish, the sobremesa asks for another rhythm. This is when coffee, liqueurs, mixed drinks and those slow glasses that should never be ordered in a rush come in. The menu confirms that rice dishes are cooked to order and that the restaurant works with market produce, a philosophy that also shapes the service: every table needs its time.

A Bar with Views of the Mediterranean

Port de Sóller, surrounded by the Serra de Tramuntana, has something that invites guests to extend the meal. That is why Jimmy’s work is not limited to serving drinks: he helps create the tone of the experience. First the aperitif, then the table, then the main dish and, finally, a quiet glass if the day calls for it.

You can check the Ses Oliveres menu or make your online reservation.

At Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, Jimmy is at the controls of the bar so that every drink arrives at the right moment: before the first dish, during the meal or when the sobremesa deserves to last a little longer.

At Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, the cuisine is built around fresh fish, seafood, rice dishes and daily suggestions, always with the product as the starting point. The restaurant is located at Passeig des Través, 18, on the seafront in Port de Sóller, and its official proposal highlights precisely this connection with the sea: fresh produce, Mediterranean cuisine and dishes prepared to order.

“A la Bruta” Squid: Seafaring Cuisine without Disguise

The name already gives a warning. “A la bruta” squid does not aim for a polished presentation or a gentle sauce. Its appeal lies in the deep flavour of the ink, the precise cooking point of the squid and that dark, glossy, almost primal appearance that makes it clear that the sea is in charge here.

The first image shows the preparation work: whole squid, seared and ready to be finished on the plate. The second shows the most recognisable result: pieces of squid covered in ink, with that rich, saline texture that turns every bite into a concentration of flavour. It is a recipe that looks simple, but demands good produce and precision, because squid needs the exact cooking point to remain tender.

One of the House’s Most Special Suggestions

The Ses Oliveres menu invites guests to ask about the daily suggestions, something especially important in a restaurant that works with fish and seafood according to the market and availability. This flexibility allows the team to recommend specific preparations when the product arrives in the best condition.

The “a la bruta” squid fits perfectly into this section: it is a seafaring, intense proposal, less common than other classic starters. The restaurant itself also highlights products in its display such as cuttlefish, squid, red scorpionfish, John Dory, sea bream, seafood, scarlet prawns, lobster, spiny lobster, clams, oysters and red prawn, confirming the importance of fresh produce in the Ses Oliveres experience.

To Share in Front of Port de Sóller

This dish works very well at the centre of the table, as a starter with character before a rice dish, a fideuà or a fresh fish chosen from the display. The menu also includes real proposals such as Sóller prawn carpaccio, homemade croquettes of the day, Andalusian-style squid, chef’s mussels and fried anchovies, options designed to open the appetite and share.

Eating Beside the Serra de Tramuntana

Port de Sóller is surrounded by the Serra de Tramuntana, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a cultural landscape. This setting of harbour, mountains and Mediterranean sea gives context to a cuisine that looks to product and season.

To discover the current offer, you can check the Ses Oliveres menu or make your online reservation.

At Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, “a la bruta” squid is a suggestion with the soul of a harbour: ink, fresh produce and untamed Mediterranean flavour.

The view of our terrace at Ses Oliveres perfectly captures this way of enjoying the port. Shade, Mediterranean vegetation, bougainvillea spilling over the promenade and tables waiting for those who decide to stop after a morning at the beach or a stroll by the water.

A natural harbour between the sea and the mountains

Port de Sóller lies approximately four kilometres from the town of Sóller and occupies a large natural bay surrounded by the mountains of the Serra de Tramuntana. For centuries, its location made it an important refuge for fishermen and a vital maritime connection for the valley. (soller.es)

Today, it is one of the most pleasant places in Mallorca for a walk by the sea. The promenade follows much of the bay, making it easy to combine time on the beach with small shops, terraces and restaurants.

Boat trips also depart from the port for some of the best-known landscapes along this coastline, including Sa Calobra, Torrent de Pareis and Cala Tuent. (trendesoller.com)

The beaches of Port de Sóller

One of the great attractions of the port is that you do not need to leave the town behind to enjoy the Mediterranean. The bay is home to beaches such as Platja d’en Repic, beside its seafront promenade, making it easy to combine a few hours of swimming with lunch or a walk around the port. (soller.es)

It is precisely this proximity between the beach, promenade and restaurants that makes Port de Sóller particularly convenient for spending an entire day without having to travel far.

How to get to Port de Sóller

One of the most distinctive ways to arrive is aboard the historic Sóller tram. The first electric line between Sóller and its port opened in 1913 and covers around 4.8 kilometres through orchards, gardens and the valley before reaching the sea. (trendesoller.com)

If you are travelling from Palma, you can also reach Sóller on its famous historic train and then continue to the port by tram. Up-to-date timetables can be checked directly on the official Sóller Railway website. (trendesoller.com)

The port can also be reached by road and public transport. Up-to-date information on buses, parking and access is available on the official Sóller tourism website. (soller.es)

And after the beach, a table by the sea

After a walk, a tram ride or a few hours on the beach comes another of the best ways to discover Mallorca: sitting down to eat.

At Ses Oliveres, right on the seafront in Port de Sóller, our cuisine is closely connected to the Mediterranean, with fresh fish, seafood and rice dishes taking centre stage. You can browse our menu before your visit. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

Because visiting Port de Sóller is also about this: walking without rushing, looking out to sea, finding a table beneath the flowers and letting Mallorca do the rest.

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. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

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. (ses-oliveres-port-de-soller.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com)

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.

At Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, cod gratinated with aioli shows that a well-made classic does not need great artifice: good produce, precise oven cooking and Mediterranean flavour served by the sea.

La entrada Cod Gratinated with Aioli at Ses Oliveres: a Mediterranean Classic by the Sea se publicó primero en Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller.

At Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, this type of cuisine fits perfectly with the restaurant’s identity: fresh fish, seafood and rice dishes on the seafront. Its location, at Passeig des Través, 18, allows guests to enjoy a Mediterranean meal with the bay in front of them, in one of the most recognisable spots on Mallorca’s north-west coast.

A Black Fideuà with Mediterranean Character

The official Ses Oliveres menu includes black fideuà with Sóller prawns, served for a minimum of two people. Other seafood specialities also appear on the menu, such as creamy rice with red Sóller prawn and cuttlefish, dry rice with Sóller prawns and baby cuttlefish, dry vegetable rice and different proposals linked to the fresh produce of the day. (ses-oliveres-port-de-soller.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com)

Black fideuà shares the spirit of seafood rice dishes, but replaces the grain with noodles. Squid ink gives it that unmistakable dark colour and a deep, saline and concentrated flavour. Sóller prawns reinforce the local character of the dish, while the seafood completes a recipe designed to be enjoyed at the centre of the table.

In the photograph, the presentation keeps that Mediterranean kitchen aesthetic without excessive dressing: dark noodles, visible seafood, the shine of reduced stock and tableware that lets the product take centre stage.

Mallorca’s Seafaring Tradition at the Table

Mallorca has a very close relationship with seafood recipes. In harbour areas such as Port de Sóller, rice dishes, fideuàs and preparations with fresh fish form part of a way of eating that is tied to the surroundings: fish market, season, available produce and a shared table.

Although fideuà is strongly associated with the seafood cuisine of the Mediterranean coast, it finds a natural place in Mallorca. It works especially well in restaurants where seafood and fresh fish play a leading role, because its flavour depends largely on a good stock, the sofrito and the exact cooking point of the noodles. It is a dish that appears simple, but is demanding in the kitchen.

Fresh Produce and Daily Suggestions

One of the important points at Ses Oliveres is its attention to the produce available. The menu and the restaurant’s website invite guests to ask about the daily suggestions, something especially relevant when working with fresh fish and seafood. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

This allows the team to recommend dishes according to the market, the season and the type of table. Sometimes it is worth starting with a seafood starter, such as Sóller prawn carpaccio, homemade croquettes of the day, Andalusian-style squid, chef’s mussels or fried anchovies, all dishes listed on the Ses Oliveres menu. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

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. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

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. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

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.

Eating Seafood in Port de Sóller

Port de Sóller, protected by the Serra de Tramuntana, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers the perfect setting for a seafood meal. To check dishes and availability, you can review the menu or make your online reservation.

The Tradition of Rice Dishes in Mallorca

Mallorca has a deep connection with rice dishes. Although many people first think of Valencian paella when Mediterranean rice is mentioned, the island has its own tradition, with recipes closely linked to available produce, the season and family cooking. One of the best-known examples is arròs brut, a brothy, spiced rice dish considered a traditional Mallorcan recipe, historically prepared with meat, vegetables, mushrooms and other seasonal ingredients. (masmallorca.es)

Seafood rice dishes are also part of Balearic food culture, especially in coastal areas such as Port de Sóller. Here, rice takes on a different character: more saline, more intense, closer to the fish market and to fresh produce. The stock, the sofrito and the precise cooking point of the grain are essential. It is not just about cooking rice, but about building flavour layer by layer.

Dry and Creamy Rice Dishes at Ses Oliveres

On the Ses Oliveres menu, rice dishes have a clear presence. Among the restaurant’s actual proposals are creamy rice with Sóller prawns and cuttlefish, dry rice with Sóller prawns and baby cuttlefish, black fideuà and dry vegetable rice, all designed to be shared and enjoyed at a relaxed pace. The restaurant’s own website presents its cuisine as a proposal based on fresh fish, rice dishes and seafood on the seafront in Port de Sóller. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

Dry rice aims for loose, flavourful, concentrated grains that absorb the stock until the end. Creamy rice, by contrast, keeps a juicier, more enveloping texture. They are two different ways of understanding the same ingredient, and both fit perfectly with a Mediterranean table where rice is served in the centre and shared without rush.

Fresh Produce and Daily Suggestions

One of the strengths of Ses Oliveres is its work with fresh produce. The restaurant explains that guests can choose fish from the daily display and that the team cooks it to order. That same philosophy is reflected in the daily suggestions, which depend on market availability and on the produce that reaches the kitchen. (sesoliveresportdesoller.com)

That is why, when ordering a seafood rice dish, it is worth taking advice from the team. They can guide guests on the most suitable type of rice, the right quantities and the best options for sharing. At a table by the sea, that attention makes a real difference.

Eating Rice in Port de Sóller

Port de Sóller is located on Mallorca’s north-west coast, surrounded by the Serra de Tramuntana, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a cultural landscape. This setting adds context to the experience: harbour, mountains, sea breeze and cuisine that looks towards the Mediterranean. (whc.unesco.org)

To discover the available dishes, you can check the Ses Oliveres menu. And if you would like to enjoy a dry rice dish, a creamy rice dish or one of the daily suggestions, you can make your online reservation.

At Ses Oliveres Port de Sóller, rice preserves something deeply Mallorcan: fresh produce, a shared table and the taste of the sea served without artifice.
