Food For Thought - Menú del diá

Now that Sterling is almost worthless – certainly against the Euro, I find that visiting Mallorca (Majorca as you may wish to pronounce and spell it) is no longer a value for money experience. However one way to enjoy a good four course meal at low prices is to look for the Menú del diá (or menu du jour in France).

If the restaurant or bar is open from midday and serving food then they must offer this ‘menú del diá’ at lunchtime (la comida). It originated in Spain by Franco’s dictate that all workers must be offered a good, cheap midday meal. It usually consists of a four course meal, bottle of water and bottle of house wine for between €7.00 - €9.00.

A good example of this excellent ‘value for money eating’ is located close by my apartment at Carabela, Pto Alcudia, Mallorca – The Bistro Mar, set in between the shore and harbour. It is a really comfortable and relaxing place to eat.

A typical menu would be a choice of two hot and two cold starters, again a choice of four hot main courses, several deserts to choose from all with bread, olives, water and wine. You get plenty to eat and the food quality is excellent.

Value for money along with being fully satisfied with what you have purchased ... and the service not only applies to ‘menu del diá’ but to our worldwide range of acoustic cleaner customers - disfrute de su comida,
