Description
El Olivo restaurant is renowned for its exceptional gastronomy, ambience and location in Deià, within the beautiful five star hotel La Residencia. Its well-known chef Guillermo Méndez likes to work with flavours that remind him of his youth and the Mallorcan kitchen, combining them with the best imported products, as well as organic produce from the gardens at La Residencia. He is happy that he can delight clients with his new creations, and that at the same time, they still order some of Guillermo's classic dishes that have been on the menu for more than ten years.

Enjoy a wonderful gastronomic experience in the restaurant; an old olive press from the 16th century which has been refurbished, or on the terrace with lovely views of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains and the town.

El Olivo is classified as one of the best restaurants in Spain 2007 by 'Restauradores' and has won the 'Wine Spectator Award of Excellence' for several years running.
