Restaurante Maca de Castro - Mallorca

My husband and I made these reservations on our honeymoon as a treat to ourselves. We expected a top tier dining experience - and we got it! We didn’t know exactly what to expect while being in Alcudia but Maca is a hidden gem. The food was unique and we enjoyed hearing how they source the fresh produce and ingredients. Every dish was special and we really enjoyed it. The service was incredible and the sommelier helped us pick a very special wine. We recommend to anyone open to food creations and for the ultimate dining experience.

Lived up to all expectations. Hospitable and competent staff, excellent food, good wine recommendations from sommelier, and true to the concept they abide to. Here I have tasted dishes I have not tasted elsewhere- I will return!

An exceptional experience. A couple of weeks prior to our reservation I received a WhatsApp message asking if I had any special dietary which I did. These requests were sympathetically honoured by making slight adjustments to certain courses on the menu. The food was exquisite in both presentation and flavour. The blending of textures and tastes were inventive beyond anything we’d experienced before yet they were sublime. The staff are clearly passionate about what they do and strike an excellent balance between professionalism and friendliness. The whole experience was u forgettable in a good way. A bit like visiting an art gallery for the taste buds! An absolute must for any foodies out there

Unfortunately, this was a disappointing experience. We were so excited to step foot here. The whole area is a tourist trap of bad food so we committed to a fine dining experience to ensure one night of quality food. Though we understood and appreciated the farm-to-table concept, it didn’t really translate. We expected vibrant and fresh offerings. It was too umami. From the first offering of a chickpea broth, a singular tone overwhelmed the following 7 or 8 courses: SALT. We can appreciate seasoning. But everything was so salty and to our great surprise, very rich. We barely had room for dessert. We felt the textures were monotone: lots of sauce, heavy, soft textures. We would like to highlight a zucchini ice-cream which was fantastic. But its Fig and Olive cake counterpart bathing in an onion foam fell way flat. The fig was overcast by too strong onion flavour. At a cost of 600$ Canadian (with only 2 glasses of wine), we were expecting way more. The maître d’hôtel was very nice. But the wait staff looked kind of tired or bored.

Unfortunately the food was very bad. Even the dessert were so hard to eat ( with cellery and onion..) but the sommelier and waitress were amazing! Service is great cant tell the same for food. Much expensive for the taste.

Very good restaurant! Delicious and also excellent services! Good cooking! Vegetables are sweet and fresh! Good value! Highly recommended

I took my husband here on our honeymoon. He’s a big foodie and really enjoys trying new things, whilst I’m quite picky so it’s usually very difficult for us to have a tasting menu together. However, the team at Maca de Castro were super accommodating and made sure that both of us could have amazing food. Every course of the tasting menu was exquisite and the team were so friendly and attentive. The value for the tasting menu was also incredible. We really couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough!

I am very surprised by some recent negative comments about the restaurant. We were on holiday in June 2022 and our experience was very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend the restaurant. Our reservation was for 19.00h and since we arrived a few minutes early we were offered a glass of champagne downstairs, and then some snacks to enjoy at our leisure. The staff were super nice and friendly, and when we finish our drink we were shown to our table upstairs. The atmosphere was whimsical, we liked the art pieces a lot, the local wine from the island that was recommended was really good, and the food was excellent! This was a very nice and memorable dinner experience, and we would definitely come again next time on Mallorca!
