    Marc’s Story

    It’s hard to believe that I first came to live and work in Mallorca almost twenty-five years ago. I initially trained in London and cut my teeth in the city’s Michelin-starred restaurants, which – at that time – had a considerable focus on traditional, French techniques with a heavy reliance on cream and butter. Searching for a little sunshine and a lighter approach to cooking, after spending a few months in France I then spent three wonderful years cheffing my way around the Basque city of San Sebastian – the food capital of Spain – before finally arriving in Mallorca with a new passion for the food and produce of the Mediterranean and a thirst to learn more.

     

    Compared to the culinary Mecca of San Sebastian, the gastronomic scene in Mallorca was much more sedate and traditional, but the island’s unique climate meant that the local produce was spectacular. I immediately knew that this would be a wonderful place to open a restaurant. I found a job heading up the kitchens of a small, rural hotel in the village of Santa Maria and few years later we were awarded a Michelin star.

     

    In 2009 I opened my own restaurant in Palma and for a long time we were the only Michelin-starred restaurant in the city. At the restaurant we are strong defenders of the cultural values that are transmitted through the local gastronomy. We serve tasting menus that highlight the best local produce we can source from across the Balearic Islands, with ideas and inspiration from all over the Mediterranean. Guided by nature, our kitchen reflects the seasons and some of the ingredients are grown on our own farm.
