| Description |
| IRU restaurant, founded in 1944 and since then run by the Escandell family, is located on the pedestrian walkway in the Port of Pollensa. The restaurant was completely renovated in 2003 in a fresh, minimalist style, creating a relaxing and charming atmosphere right on the sea front. At IRU, we combine very innovative and modern ideas with traditional recipes to create delicious and 'not standard' dishes. Enjoy your meal in the large spacious dining room, or out on the terrace. |
