Zaranda

"Fernando Pérez Arellano’s legendary Zaranda restaurant continues to delight the senses in the city’s old quarter, within the walls of the Es Princep luxury hotel, but with a separate entrance.It stands above the remains of a former tannery, a connection recognised in the names of some of its appetisers. The enticing tasting menus (Hipodermis, Dermis and Epidermis) include highly unusual appetisers and pickles. These either have an Arab influence or a connection with the history of the leather tanning basins which are partially visible to guests through the glass floor. Thanks to Zaranda’s combination of meticulous presentation, delicate textures, the very best ingredients from the island, and astute food and wine pairings, you won’t be disappointed!" - Michelin Inspector

The 12 course experience was filling and satisfying. The concept of tying the food to the history of the building being a tannery was unique and made for a good food story. The dishes were interesting and definitely creative. We especially enjoyed the interaction with our food in creating the beautiful gold lamb sandwich. The plating was also special. Some of the plates are made by a local artist who understands well the concept of the restaurant. The experience itself was well orchestrated and we greatly enjoyed the three places where we ate the menu dishes. The attention to detail was superb and we loved the full circle experience of ending our meal in the same location where we started it. Attention to detail could easily be seen in the service provided. The staff were warm and welcoming and we enjoyed talking with them and getting to know them a little bit. The end of dinner gifts to take away (menus, wrapped chocolate and leather rings with different possible uses) were a nice and thoughtful touch. We look forward to our next visit.

We had absolutely great experiences in Zaranda! It was like a wonderful trip full gastronomic adventures! 14 beautiful and stunning dishes. We loved the story telling, quality of tableware and cutlery. Service was excellent! The presence of the chief was very welcoming and interesting! Maybe a little bit too much in terms of quantity or size of portions. We felt a bit heavy after the dinner (maybe if you don’t eat at all during a day then it’s ok :) or maybe make some portions smaller… Anyway I recommend this place strongly! Unforgettable experience!

Our dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary, each dish was thoughtfully crafted, with a unique story behind it—a level of care and intention we've rarely encountered before. The chef's creativity and passion were evident in every bite, and we were truly captivated by the artistic elements woven into the meal. Though this is a one-star Michelin restaurant, the experience felt much more in line with what we’d expect from a two-star establishment. The meal was perfectly adapted to our pescatarian preferences, and we never felt as though we missed out on anything.

Our experience at Zaranda exceeded all expectations. From beginning to end, the staff treated us with exceptional kindness. We thoroughly enjoyed the immersive journey through history and storytelling as we moved from room to room. The food was exquisitely crafted, with a level of detail and thoughtfulness that made each dish feel like a work of art. The staff's warmth made us feel as though we were the only guests there. With seating for only six tables, the intimate atmosphere allowed us to relax and savor each course of our set menu at a leisurely pace. Dining at Zaranda is a memory we will always hold. Thank you to the team for a wonderful experience! Highly, highly recommend.

Extremely disappointing experience — especially shocking for a Michelin-starred restaurant. We came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday, expecting a refined and memorable evening. Instead, we were met with rude service and complete disregard for basic hospitality. When we arrived, the waitress asked us to wait “5 minutes” before being seated. We agreed — but ended up standing around for over 20 minutes with no communication. When we politely asked another staff member for an update, we overheard the original waitress talking behind our backs, saying, “they are supposed to wait.” Absolutely unprofessional. Eventually, after nearly 25 minutes, she came back with a smug attitude, no real apology, and said, “I apologize for the wait but you chose to wait. There’s nothing else I can do.” Seriously? That’s your standard of service? The entire dinner ended up taking 3.5 hours, including almost an hour of waiting. The staff seemed disorganized and dismissive throughout — and this was supposed to be a special occasion. It’s honestly unbelievable that a restaurant with a Michelin star could deliver such poor, arrogant service. Food aside, the attitude and lack of respect completely ruined the night. We left frustrated and upset. Would absolutely not recommend — there are far better places that treat guests with the respect they deserve.

The 18 course full tasting menu, is far too much food. We were promised they were snacks, and actually had to ask them to cut the rest of the dishes away completely at course 10. The theme around leather making is bizarre, to be fed cow face and things like monks fish liver- yuck. I've never gagged at a dish in a Michelin star restaurant until now. Just because you can cook some forms of food, doesn't mean you should. The best part was dining in the kitchen. The sommelier wasn't impressed that we chose the cheapest wine on the menu at 60 euros a bottle, he suggested a 90 euro bottle which was very unpleasant, Jos suggestions for us was pretentious, I stead of asking us the kind of wines we actually like. We were still charged the full 18 course prices as we were told the dishes we would of had went in the bin. I don't believe this is true because they're made on the spot as we witnessed during the kitchen courses. The waitress/ manager then asked if we were adding a tip on to the end? We should of been given the dishes we couldn't eat as takeaway, as we were charged for them anyway. I've eaten in a 3 Michelin star restaurant which was around 8/9 courses for their full tasting menu, with food flavours catered to the masses as opposed to trying to be really alternative and different. The whole menu concept needs a re think. Sadly I can't recommend this restaurant, the staff were unpleasant, and it's extremely pretentious and the menu was 85% fish, and I love fish but not these intense flavours. The food itself looks incredible, but the taste doesn't match

Amazing experience, Michelin star well desserved! Love that the experience takes place first at the lounge, then opportunity to have tapas and chat with the chef in the kitchen, followed by seated dinner at the table. Each dish was impeccably decorated, with custom made dish ware to match. We asked the sommelier to pair a few of the dishes with local wine for us, and each pairing was just perfect and we were able to explore the best local producers. Note the dinner is very long, we were there for almost 4 hours, and seems a bit drawn out at the end. I also agree with some of the reviewers that it felt like too much food. Really appreciate the diversity in dishes, but perhaps editing down a couple dishes may leave diners less full to enjoy the dessert courses.

Absolutely outstanding in every way. We had an incredible 5 hour dining experience last night as we journeyed through the 18 course plena flor menu. We were served attentively with warmth and humour by Fernando and his team. It was a gastronomic experience of the highest order with meticulous attention to detail to both the food and venue. Thank you to all involved for a wonderful evening.
