Restaurants cuisine régionale Mao

The very first restaurant in the prestigious eponymous restaurant group, Ses Forquilles has been serving East End gourmets for almost two decades now! In 2021, the cosmopolitan tavern may have moved to the premises of the Cristine Bedfor boutique-hotel (with independent access) to enjoy a more functional and luminous setting, but the preparations and welcome remain unchanged! Chefs Marco Collado and Oriol Castell continue to work creatively with local produce from the sea and land, producing results that are not lacking in character!

Here's a smart little address just the way we like it! Opposite the fish market, this bistro, announced by a few stand-up barrels placed right on the street, has the charm of the old and the audacity of the new! It operates according to a well-thought-out combo: a short menu of fixed specialties ("les incontournables"), a slate that changes according to market produce and top-quality wines, including a collection of natural wines. The crockery is motley, vintage, the service warm and friendly, the flavors subtle. We just love it!

This little bar under the arcades of the Plaça d'Es Claustre, with its outdoor terrace, doesn't look like much, and yet... It's been a meeting place for locals for over a century! Since 1892, to be precise. And today, it's still the local café atmosphere that's been cultivated here. Service is friendly and attentive, and dishes of typical Mediterranean cuisine to share are prepared with simplicity and served in generous portions. In short, this is one of the most popular local addresses!

Pau Sintes, a young chef (born in 2000) who won the European Young Chef Award at just 24, is the man who runs the kitchens at the Cristine Bedford restaurant... And it's not for the faint-hearted! Local produce, simplicity, quality, creativity... and surprise! That's what a meal here has in store for you, whether it's breakfast, brunch or dinner on the terrace, a cocktail in the secret garden or a meal in the Pool Bar... It's a unique experience that we recommend you take part in!

Run by a small group of Minorcan friends, Sa Petita des Claustre is located in the cloister, under the arches. Behind its wooden storefront, they prepare salads, cakes, soups, savory and sweet tarts, bowls and other healthy dishes at very good prices! Everyone gathers here at lunchtime, local workers and tourists alike, both for the good humor of the owners and for the simplicity and quality of the products. A local address that could well become your canteen if you're staying in the area!

Ses Culleres is the latest gastronomic venture from the Ses Forquilles group! Here we find the same philosophy as in the group's other addresses - quality, local and seasonal produce - with classic Mediterranean recipes, but also some more contemporary and original proposals. The location of Ses Culleres is also quite fabulous, as it is situated in the emblematic Marès building and boasts a sensational terrace overlooking the port of Maó! A superb place where you can always eat well!
