Es Fum, located in one of Majorca’s most acclaimed locations, was awarded 1 prestigious Michelin Star, in November 2011. Savor the art of delicate combinations – through respecting each ingredient – delivering extraordinary culinary delights according to seasonality with only the freshest local produce. This superb restaurant is considered to be one of the jewels of the St. Regis Mardavall hotel, with its elegant, classic – contemporary decor and the magnificent Mediterranean – style covered terrace. Modern creative dishes with a clever combination of textures, all made from the best locally sourced ingredients.
My evening at Es Fum started with a lovely table on the terrace with amazing views of the sun setting over the Mediterranean Sea. Followed by a very warm welcome by the service team as well as Champagne – everything I need to kick off an unforgettable night beside a beautiful location. Luckily, Es Fum has the latter as well.
The restaurant itself is located on the reception floor of the St. Regis Mardavall Resort and features both inside and outside seating. The terrace has only about 10 tables and offers a fantastic view over the lush garden of the resort as well as the Mediterranean Sea. The inside tables also allow for an intimate and romantic dining experience but don’t feel as special.
You can have an individual menu that included a delicious sequence of six courses, all of them relying on unique flavors and an interesting mix of textures. I personally preferred the courses that included fish instead of meat, although all of them were very good and delightful in every sense. Even if six courses sound like a lot, they were just the right size to enjoy every single dish without feeling to fed up. We accompanied our dinner with a crisp bottle of “Neu”, a dry white wine from Mallorca which I can highly recommend.
Since 2017 Miguel Navarro is the Executive Chef at Es Fum, making sure to combine the local flavors and fresh produce of Mallorca with the best of Nouvelle Cousine. I loved that you can taste the Mediterranean accent in every dish. The menu felt light and lovely and surprised me in every course.
Not only the dinner itself but the whole experience at Es Fum made our evening special. The service team was friendly and extremely attentive, living up to our expectations of a Michelin Star restaurant. The Sommelier, who came up with a fantastic wine suggestion from a Mallorcan winery, earns a special mention as he was not only very skilled but also extremely cordial.
So even if you aren’t lucky enough to spend your vacation at the St.Regis Mardavall, you should consider coming by for dinner when in Mallorca. Es Fum is definitely worth the splurge!
