Description
Celler Ca'n Amer restaurant in Inca, has received many awards over the years, and offers an authentic Mallorcan cuisine prepared with top quality products. It is also one of the oldest 'cellers' (wine cellar) on the island. Celler Ca'n Amer was converted into a wine cellar in 1700, producing only wine until the 1950s. It was also a place where people who came to the Inca market could share some food and drink. In 1963, Antonia Cantallops and José Torrens opened it as a restaurant.
Antonia is considered one of the most knowledgeable cooks on Mallorca. In the last 37 years this chef, teacher and author has done much research into the old mallorquin cuisine, which has also been influenced by some Arabic, Jewish and Christian aspects. Over time, she has reinvented ancient recipes and modernised them to suit contemporary tastes. Nowadays, Tomeu still offers his mother's recipes but he also adds his own personal and updated touch.
The ample interior of Cellar Can Amer still retains its charm with its original beams, columns and large wine barrels.
Some prestigious awards:
2006 - Best wine list on Mallorca
2006 - Cubiertos de Oro: Professional career
1993 - Silver medal Tourism
1986 - Bronze medal Ministry of Transport
