About the El Olivo Restaurante in Mallorca they said: “With a wine list that excels in Spanish selections, wine director Antoni Bujosa hopes to introduce diners to the country’s most exciting labels. France and Italy are also very well represented. Chef Guillermo Mendez presents the local cuisine of Mallorca with ingredients sourced from the area and the restaurant’s own garden. Chef Mendez’s classic dishes include monkfish sautéed with citrus and baked rack of lamb in olive crust with rosemary sauce. A candlelit terrace overlooking the Balearic Sea creates an atmosphere that embodies coastal Mediterranean dining.”
