El Olivo

Avoid. Go to drinks at side bar to get the same experience for 1/20th the cost and same view. We went here for our honeymoon and did the 10**** course (at roughly ~$400/person USD with Tax tip), while the atmosphere is truly unparalleled, basically divine. The food was truly garbage. Not one redeemable course. It was trying way too hard to do high fine dining and it was squares of goop. My palette is defined this is just not good food. Vibe and service was amazing, but the food was simply not good. EDITED** To respond to your idiotic reply. I adjusted it to 10 (forgive me, I said 12, off by two) I think we got your shitty desert.. I also changed the cost to $400/pp. whcih is basically what it came out to USD after tip, tax. To say I'm lying when I posted pictures of my meal at your restaurant is a wild choice. EVEN FURTHER REASON TO NOT GO HERE

El Olivio in Deià was easily one of the most memorable dining experiences of our entire trip. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless and welcoming. The service was outstanding, warm, attentive and never rushed. The staff made us feel genuinely looked after and created an atmosphere where you could fully relax and enjoy the evening. The food was exceptional from start to finish. Every dish was packed with flavour and clearly made with high quality ingredients. You could tell a lot of care went into each plate. On top of that, the views in Deià added another layer to the experience. Sitting there, taking it all in, made the meal feel even more special. They nailed everything so well that we honestly did not even think to take photos. We were too busy enjoying the food and the moment. Even if you do not have a reservation, it is still worth showing up and trying your luck because this place is absolutely worth it. Do not skip the olive oil with bread. It was by far the best olive oil I have ever tasted and I still regret not bringing some home. El Olivio is a must visit in Deià and deserves every single one of its five stars.

Amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious, the cocktails were excellent and perfectly made, and the view was simply breathtaking. Everything combined created a wonderful atmosphere. We would definitely visit again!

Worth every penny and the struggle to even land a reservation here, we somehow got lucky. You can’t beat the incredible food with an incredible view. My family had one of the most memorable nights here, one of our favorite parts from our trip in Mallorca. The food was absolutely incredible, it was such a dream.

El Olivo – A Michelin-Star Experience Worth Every Moment Last night, my wife and I had the absolute pleasure of dining at El Olivo, and it was truly unforgettable. With its spectacular views, spotless service, and exquisite cuisine, this restaurant easily ranks among the very best Michelin-starred establishments we’ve visited worldwide. From the moment we arrived, the experience was flawless. Sasha, a fine gentleman from Tuscany, took incredible care of us, ensuring every detail was perfect. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. The cuttlefish, in particular, was out of this world — a perfect balance of texture and taste. It’s the small touches that truly set El Olivo apart. In the dim, romantic lighting, the staff still noticed when a napkin fell to the floor and replaced it instantly. Wine service was exceptional, with an excellent selection perfectly matched to the dishes. Even before dessert, they quietly and efficiently cleared the salt and pepper — a subtle detail that most diners wouldn’t notice, but a hallmark of world-class service. Sadly, I’ve seen a few negative reviews of this place, and I can only say those people must not understand the exceptional level of service and culinary artistry achieved here. Bravo to the entire El Olivo team — you’ve created an experience that lingers in memory long after the last bite. We will absolutely return one day, perhaps to try the longer tasting menu and even stay the night. This was a dinner to remember, and El Olivo has earned a top spot on our list.

The view at the restaurant is stunning, and the staff are very professional and respectful. We spent about 2 hours enjoying the Deya tasting menu. A few things to note: the flavors were a bit unusual and if you’re not into seafood, this menu might not be suitable for you. Two of my siblings don’t eat seafood, so they decided to leave the restaurant, but the staff mentioned they would still charge their cards even if they didn’t eat.

El Olivo in Deia is a place of pure Mediterranean elegance and refined cuisine. Set in a stunning hotel overlooking the mountains, it offers a peaceful and romantic atmosphere. Each dish is a true work of art, crafted with precision and perfectly balanced flavors. The service is impeccable, and the wine selection is exceptional. An ideal spot for a romantic dinner and an unforgettable fine dining experience in Mallorca.

This was the worst restaurant trip we've ever been on. We've been to this restaurant two years ago and we loved it. The good things: nice view and nice plates. The bad things: 1) The most important thing is the disgusting food. We chose a set of 10 dishes and all evening I was setting myself up that here, now there will be something tasty. But there was not a single dish that we liked! Absolutely all dishes were not tasty. We were at another hotel in Mallorca recently and visited a restaurant of this level, we really enjoyed it, it was just super. So it's not me being picky, but really terrible cuisine. 2) In the soup with noodles and fish, we got an ant with wings. To which we informed the staff. There was a very strange response in the style of "it's something not alive, you imagined". No apologies. 3) Menu. Two options - 6 dishes that don't taste good or 10 dishes that don't taste good. Although two years ago, you could have dinner A La Carte. 3) The menu itself. It was funny when they said, "You can take it with you." It's an A6 sheet. In another place of the same kind, there were beautiful cardboard cards with the name and description of each dish. 4) The story about the dish is very modest and not interesting. A restaurant of this kind should be interesting. It should be a gastronomic theater. 5) There is no uniform dress code. The place implies a perfect picture. 6) The presentation is rated at 3 points. There is no liquid nitrogen, no live fire, and no cutting on the spot; everything is very ordinary. But I'll say it again: all these disadvantages wouldn't be a problem if it was delicious.

Food, service, and Ambiance were all top tier. As someone that has gone to many Michelin star restaurants, I genuinely believe el olivo deserves one. My experience was great and from the tasting menu, there was only 1 tasting I didn't enjoy- but my husband did. I thought the chef tied the courses very well and was creative with Spanish flavors from the region. I would absolutely recommend eating here especially on the outside terrace.

The dinner of my dreams. One of the best dining experiences with the most insane view We got chef Pablo Aranda's 10 course tasting menu and it was a whole feast. Their menu seems to change frequently based on what is available but on a high level, expect every course to be crafted with local ingredients. Reservations open 6 months in advance so make sure to plan it out early! Starting with Mallorcan appetizers, a tuna bite that was super delish, potato salad in a crunchy shell, and a red shrimp tart that tasted a bit too briny. Then they bring out a whole tray of bread with their in-house olive oil The oil is so fragrant and good, you can't help but CONSUME. Our first dish was a beautiful (peeled) ramallet tomato served with grilled strawberries and green tomato juice. This tomato was so sweet we thought it was soaked in syrup. Turns out they're just that sweet A gorgeous red prawn that they behead in front of you. Super interesting bc they use a French press to juice the heads and make a broth! Fish course is always my fav A beautiful sea bass with meunière sauce, poached spinach, and pine nut stew. I loved this. The soft nutty pine nut flavor worked very well. For the main, started with the tenderest piglet shoulder ever with crispy skin & celeriac puree. We were stuffed after this so the lamb course felt quite daunting. That being said, the lamb skewer was my favorite It was so juicy and delicious. The tenderloin was also good but it was a leaner cut which felt kinda heavy. Great accompaniments tho, I do love a parsnip puree. The parsely emulsion was shockingly bitter, thought I was eating grass, but it did a great job to cut through the meaty flavors. Honestly, felt bad bc we barley touched the second piece so I think they could reduce the portions. To end the meal, a pre-dessert with carob and date bread. Flavor wise, there was too much going on with the fennel, orange sorbet, and some kind of pistachio sauce, so it was kinda confusing. The final dessert is very exciting and hands on They bring out latex gloves and a beautiful bowl of chocolate(?) lemons filled with creme anglaise. You throw it at your plate and enjoy it with fennel foam and honey ice cream. Super light and the citrus flavor was a great finale Overall, this was such a feast so I think you would do better ordering the 7 course or a la carte. Not only are the portions huge but each course comes with side dishes so be ready for it. 10 Course Tasting Menu €200 내가 마요르카 온 이유 비행기 표 보다 먼저 이 식당을 예약했다. 6개월 부터 예약 가능하니까 갈꺼면 미리미리. 솔직히 맛은 기대를 안했는데 생각보다 더 맛있어서 놀람. 도전 정신을 감미한 요리가 아니고 로컬 재료를 사용하면서 셰프님이 생각하는 클래식함을 선보이는것 같음. 10코스로 먹었는데 양이 너무 많아서 무리데스... 욕심 부리지 말고 7 코스나 단품으로 즐기자. 아쉬운 점을 굳이 찾자면 전체적으로 너무 헤비하다. 뭔가 강약 조절을 하면서 상큼하거나 라이트한 사이드를 사용했으면 더 좋았을듯. 양도 엄청 많음. 모든 디쉬가 식당에서 나오는 메인 사이즈라 끝에 갈수록 맛만 보고 거의 남긴듯 그래서 요즘 뉴욕이나 서울에서 먹는 다이닝을 생각하면 가격이 매우 합리적이다고 생각한다. 팁 따로 안내서 그런가... 암튼 분위기도 멋지고 서비스도 좋고 나오는 페이스도 여유로워서 3시간 동안 찐으로 행복했다.

The view and ambience - 5 stars. Set in a super romantic restaurant with a fantastic view of Deia. Food: 3 stars. We tried some of dishes recommended by the waitress: sea bass tartare, rack of lamb, etc. Every dish is presented well but tasted mediocre, nothing exceptional.

El Olivo @ La Residencia is in my top 5 best restaurants in the world. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, and the restaurant gives the most beautiful view of the town, Deia. The staff are very knowledgeable and attentive, helping us decide on one of the best crisp Spanish wines I've had to date. I ordered the traditional French lentils with egg, and a selection of chocolates for dessert. Both were fantastic, especially the dessert.

Great atmosphere, friendly service. Food was extremely mediocre. I had an overpriced and overcooked fish filet about the size of my thumb. Also had 20 different people waiting on us, which was cool at first but became confusing and not sure anyone was even keeping up with us by the end of the meal.

Stunning location, awesome food and committed staff! We arrived at Olivio at 9pm and were brought to our table, which has a fantastic view over Deia. The whole setting in the restaurant is super-romantic - if you're ever looking for a romantic dinner spot with your partner, this is it. You can also have an aperetivo before at their nice terrace. The Service was absolutely flawless to awesome. The staff deeply cared, we were recommended a really good local Chardonnay wine. The food is of course not cheap but definitely worth the price. Also the the size portions were definitely satisfying. The menu offers a broad variety from seafood to meat. Desert was also very good. Overall: Perfect service, really good food, super-romantic location. Of course Deia might be not around the corner from the Palma-centre of Mallorca, but it's definitely worth the drive (which is very stunning as well). El Olivo: Highly recommended. Disclaimer: I originally wrote a negative review for this restaurant, because when we tried it first, we had some trouble with the service. I wrote a complaint to the management, and I have to say, I've never experienced such a professional and courteous way they solved my inconvenience. Mr. Ulisses Marreiros, the general manager, came personally to my table and offered his apologies about our last visit, as well as Mr. Vincente Hernandez, the Maitre of the Restaurant. They really showed passion for keeping a customer and I do very much thank then for their generous invitation. If just every 5* hotel/restuarant would as deeply care as they did if a service glitch happens ... Kudos to that. Thank you again Mr. Hernandez and Mr. Marreiros
