Nom nom yummy kebab for 4 € (and you won't need anything else, believe me) + ice cold beer jug = just what the doctor ordered after a day at the beach. Also good pizzas.

Probably my favourite restaurant in Mallorca. They excel at fish - fresh catch of the day is always a good choice. Not cheap, but treat yourself for that special occasion. Bookings essential. Ask for a table on the upper balcony (amazing views)

Cala Blava is a nice little beach that you can bike or bus to (route 23). It's small but populated almost only by locals, so it doesn't get very crowded.
