Seasonal local produce fires up the kitchen at the celebrated Hotel Puntagrande (once named the planet's tiniest hotel), whose stone-walled dining room is decked with fishing paraphernalia and opens on to a sea-surrounded terrace. Elegantly updated, creatively executed island cooking arrives in the form of duck confit with pineapple, Iberian-secret rice and veggie-friendly delights like wild-mushroom risotto or pear-and-parmesan salad.
