Description
Open all year, Restaurante Playa Hostal is a family-run establishment which offers home cooking based on the simplicity of its dishes, and the high quality and extreme freshness of its ingredients. Choose fresh fish of the day at your table, mostly acquired directly from the fishermen of the area and prepared on the grill. The restaurant is managed by the family Rodriguez-Ginard. The son is Juan, a chef passionate about fresh fish, and every day he visits the fish market at Colonia Sant Jordi to choose the catches made off the island of Cabrera. The house is typically Mallorcan, with high ceilings to help keep it cool in summer and wooden beams. The décor has basically been maintained for the last 50 years, so even though in 1989 the house was completely renovated, its charm and atmosphere of old have been carefully preserved. Located on the first line in Cala Galiota, Restaurante Playa Hostal has one of the best views in Colonia Sant Jordi; here you will be able to enjoy a beautiful sunset while having dinner on the terrace.
