Description Gadus Restaurant in Cala d'Or was opened in 2007 by Toni Llull. The restaurant has a young, dynamic and creative team and many of the products, such as the bread, jams, ice creams etc. are handmade on the premises. The kitchen is managed by the husband and wife team Sebastian Raggiante and Luciana Conte, also the pastry chef. Sebastian and Luciana use the experience they've gained at prestigious restaurants such as El Bulli *** and Le Petit Nice *** in France, amongst others, to create delicious, and visually surprising dishes.
The waiting service is under the direction of Àngel Gornés, who is also happy to suggest a suitable wine for every dish. The gastronomic offering includes various tasting menus with a selection of recommended wines from the well stocked cellar. At Gadus Restaurant you can also enjoy your meal on the terrace which has outstanding views of the Port of Cala d'Or.
Directions On the main road from Cala d'Or to Porto Petro turn into Calle Port Petit and you will find parking at the new complex and a lift down to the restaurant.
