After spending the day in Pollenca old town, we headed back to the pool to cool off.
We then got a bit spruced up and took ourselves back to Pollenca to a lovely little restaurant called Manzanas y Peras.
We booked, and if you go in the Summer months then I would definitely recommend doing the same. They don't have very many tables outdoors as they are set up on the first 20 or so steps of the 365 that lead up to an old chapel on top of a hill, and they were fully booked when we went.
Mallorca is fairly veggie friendly, although in a lot of restaurants you will find the same options.
But not at Manzanas y Peras - they had some of the most interesting and delicious vegetarian tapas that I have ever had.
We wined and dined while the sun went down and the atmosphere in the square became more romantic. Every table was lit with candles and the trees sparkled with fairy lights.
As romantic as this was, it didn't make the best lighting for food photos. But we had the tapas feast menu, and it really was. Look at this little lot...
The standout dishes for me were beetroot and chickpea puree with pitta bread, and artichokes & sultanas in Pedro Ximenez sherry. All inspired combinations, and things I have never had together before!
The whole town has such a relaxed feel at night, with people sitting around drinking wine while their children spin and play in the squares.
If you make one trip while in Mallorca, then head to Pollenca. And if you get hungry while you're there, then head to Manzanas y Peras for a tapas FEAST. But make sure you book!
