| Description |
Restaurant Es Castell was redesigned back in 2003. This refined, speciality establishment at the Hotel Castillo Son Vida serves gourmet food in grand hotel style – with a panoramic view of Palma and the sea. The interior dining room design is a distinguished blend of stone, precious wood and the play of tangerine orange, mahogany red and olive yellow. The bill of fare features Mediterranean cuisine along with French classic dishes and, in summer months, themed barbecues out on the spacious terrace.
Have breakfast, lunch or dinner with views over the bay of Palma and over the Cathedral. The Es Castell features traditional classics in a historic ambience.
