Cuisine • multi cultural • market • Duke is a Tuna Free Restaurant
Description At the beginning of 2009, two surfer friends decided to launch a restaurant in Santa Catalina, in the heart of the gastronomic center of Palma de Mallorca.
One of the owners, Juanjo Campos explains: 'Duke restaurant is different from other places because of the type of cuisine, which is healthy, natural and has very short cooking times. It's based on recipes we discovered during our travels to different parts of the world to which our chef Ronny adds his very personal touch, resulting in very tasty dishes! We take the best of what we've found, and we don't mix it, so in other words this is not a fusion cuisine, but more a multi- or cross-cultural cuisine.'
The name of the restaurant was inspired by the the great Hawaiian surfer Duke Paoa Kahanamoku who is known around the world as the 'Father of Modern Surf'. Born in 1890 in Honolulu, he became a swimming champion, winning gold and silver medals at the 1912, 1920 and 1924 Olympic Games. In 1914, he traveled to Australia for a surfing exhibition, thereby sowing the seeds of what would, in the 1950s and 60s become a hugely popular sport across the world.
At Duke Restaurant in Santa Catalina you'll find interesting dishes prepared by the international team of cooks always with fresh products, at reasonable prices and an informal, relaxed setting, decorated in a real surfer style. The only thing missing are the waves.
