Restaurant tips

Restaurant “Diecisiete Grados” in Palmas pedestrian street Calle Fabrica, 12 was opened 15 years ago by 2 young fellows, presenting a cool tavern with a long bar where young people had a glass of wine with some tapas in a good atmosphere. By the years, the owners and guests became older and the tavern changed bit by bit to a modern, up-marked restaurant, focusing mainly on excellent meat like entrecote, rips, T-bone-steak, lamb chops, hamburger, grilled over stone oak wood. Spanish dishes like “huevos rotos” (destroyed eggs) on artichokes with ham, foie with pear chutney or delicious croquettes filled with shrimps and butifarron (blood sausage). Good priced lunch menu with choice possibility. Tel.: 871 943368, www.diecisietegrados.es.

Two brothers from Hungary opened a restaurant close to the Mercat de l’Olivar. Besides specialities from Hungary they offer mainly Mediterranean food. Fine dishes like the duck Carpaccio with orange-roasted duck gravy, steak tartar or short fried tuna fish in sesame crust on beet root rice with coriander-lemon-sauce or small pieces of chicken, dressed with popcorn  - a funny but tasty idea - with broccoli salad. The dessert “Gundel Crepe” got its name after the inventor, the Hungarian chef Karoly Gundel (1883-1956) is a tempting thin pancake, filled with nut-rum-raisin-mixture and covered with chocolate-rum-sauce. Yummy!! C/d’Enric Alzamora, 3, Palma, Tel.: 661 881277, FB: Hungry Gastro Food Bar
