Description Limon y Chelo is the restaurant at the Sa Taronja Cultural Association in Andratx.
It is somewhat of a hidden treasure, an old farmhouse set in a lovely garden atmosphere where one can enjoy a short and original à la carte menu, cooked to perfection, while listening to live music. The emphasis is on fresh Mediterranean cuisine prepared with natural products, and as chef Mariano Torres explains: 'I like to improvise with what is seasonally available, and I do use the vegetables, fruits and flowers that are organically grown here in the gardens of Sa Taronja. The name itself, Limon y Chelo, refers to the many lemon trees at Sa Taronja, and the music which is ever present here: the symbiosis of good food and good music'. Needless to say, the home-made 'limoncello' is also a speciality at Limon y Chelo.
Limon y Chelo was opened in order to complement the artistic events and activities going on at the Cultural Centre of Sa Taronja. During the winter and spring, customers enjoy the cosy restaurant indoors with its great Mallorcan fireplace; in the summer, the delightful patio and its little stage set the scene for classical, jazz, tango, flamenco, blues and world music, along with theme evenings and wine tastings. The restaurant is particularly appreciated for its excellent list of Mallorcan wines.
The Cultural Association Sa Taronja in Andratx is directed by Tina Horne and was founded 14 years ago by artist Hartmut Usadel. Sa Taronja is located in what used to be an old chicken farm which, at one point, housed 8000 chickens! Now it's been converted into a cultural centre with a theatre, two art galleries, luscious gardens, an events hall, a bar, a restaurant, and 12 studios which local artists use on a daily basis. Sa Taronja in Andratx has become a lively and dynamic space encompassing art, music, dance, theatre and other activities like film screenings. Members of Sa Taronja enjoy reduced prices and other privileges.
