DAICA restaurant & turisme d'interior

We dined at DAICA on 10/18 while we were in Mallorca on our honeymoon. The value for the meal is superb compared to most fine dining restaurants in the United States. Of our 12 days in Spain, this was the most hospitable meal we had. Even though there was a slight language barrier at times, the staff was extremely accommodating and polite. All of the dishes were well executed and presented with immense detail. Portions were larger than expected which was a nice surprise. The only issue we had was that at one point in the meal, we were asked if we wanted to try a special dessert that they had (if I remember correctly, it was a blue cheese tart with capers). We had thought it was part of the tasting menu, and even though we were getting full, we said yes. After leaving and reviewing the bill, I realized we were charged $16 for the dish. I wish it was a bit more clearly described as being an add on instead of part of the tasting menu. With that said, we were treated to a complimentary dessert for our honeymoon celebration, which we appreciated.

The meal we had at Daica was outstanding and the highlight of our trip to Mallorca. We booked for a long lunch and everything was superb. The service was exceptional and they went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time. We bought our 3 month year old baby too and they were so accommodating. Highly recommend, excellent value and exceptional food.

5 Star dining experience. We enjoyed the 10 course tasting menu and it was an absolute treat. The service was impeccable, the attention to detail was spot on. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an elevated dining experience and something special

We had a lovely time dining at Daica, excellent food, service and atmosphere! All the food was local and the tasting menu offered a wonderful variation of Mallorca’s flavours. Also excellent value for money. Definitely worth the trip for us :)

A superb lunch. Outstanding and delicious food, excellent service and superb wine. Highly, highly recommend. If you’ve haven’t been …go!!

Absolutely fantastic experience at DAICA! The tasting menu was creative and beautifully presented. Every dish was unique and the use of local ingredients made it even more special. The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a culinary experience in Mallorca!

One-line summary: This place is astonishing value for money, for a fine dining restaurant. (Don't let the Michelin guide fool you: "Here, the focus is on cooking with a traditional feel", well, there are some nods to Mallorcan traditions perhaps, but this is a proper fine dining experience.) There are two menus, 6 courses for €65 and 10 courses for €90. While we were exchanging e-mails to reserve, great care was taken to check for allergies. We reported a mild intolerance of hazelnuts and when our dessert arrived, one person's hazelnuts had been substituted. 👍 The food is superb, even if it is very slightly bonkers (in a good way!) in one or two places. Every dish was a delight. The other diners were also obviously having a great time. The real source of the value for money, however, is in the drinks. We are accustomed to paying a premium for wine in top-class restaurants, but that was not the case here. We decided to have a glass of white and a glass of rosé each, with the intention of seeing how it went from there. Dai brought an unopened bottle for the white, so he poured a tasting drop for both of us (a very nice touch) and then what, at first sight, seemed like a modest glass. As he poured that, he said "We serve the wines by the glass in two stages here, so they stay fresh". I thought this was a little joke (referring to the tasting drop as the "first stage"), so when Dai came back and refilled our glasses without us ordering more, I said "I'd prefer the rosé next time", thinking he had failed to ask if I wanted more. (The white was good, the rosé was exceptional.) Except that he was indeed just providing the second half of what turned out to be a very generous glass, served in two parts (or three if you count the tasting drop...) sorry, Dai! 🙏 At the end of the meal our bill for wine was just €42, for three large glasses each (we had a glass of cava to start, and that was also generously filled). We stayed overnight in one of the restaurant's simple, rustic, but comfortable rooms, at a sensible price. There is no breakfast service, but the bar-restaurant in the town square just up the hill has some good breakfast choices. All in all this was a really great experience. I am really not sure what DaiCa would have to do to qualify for a Michelin star. Perhaps they should put up the price of the wine. 🤷‍♂️

great tasting menu, i would only propose to add some fans on the patio , its a bit hot to sit there . and may be add even a simple vine pairing to enhance the tasting menu
