Casa Manolo

Top choice in Southern Mallorca


With its photo-plastered walls and ceilings strung with Serrano hams, this corner bar looks much as it did when it opened in 1945. While the aged, Josper-grilled meat is fantastic, the real secret to its staying power lies in the rice, seafood and fish dishes. Try lobster stew or arròs notari, a rice dish overflowing with seafood and a rich squid-ink sauce.
