A traditional eatery from 1962
Celler La Parra opened in 1962 with Joan Gual and is still in the same family, now in its fourth generation. The place is almost a museum: old barrels, bottles hanging from the walls, farm tools and photos from another era. It is on Carrer Joan XXIII, the street that enters Port de Pollença from Pollença, five minutes' walk from the promenade and the pier.
What to order
The menu draws on Mallorcan and Mediterranean recipes. To start, Mallorcan salad (trampó), pa amb oli, Mallorcan frito, tongue with Llubí capers and croquettes. For meat, roast Mallorcan suckling pig, roast shoulder and leg of Mallorcan lamb and lamb ribs. There are rice dishes, such as arroz brut, mixed paella (minimum two people) or seafood rice, and grilled fish of the day: sea bass, sea bream, turbot, cuttlefish or salt cod with all i oli. In season they add tumbet, gazpacho and stuffed aubergine. There are gluten-free options.
In the morning it serves berenars, the Mallorcan breakfast: typical dishes with a coffee.
When to go and how to book
It is open Tuesday to Sunday: breakfasts from 9:00 to 11:00 and the kitchen from 13:00 to 22:30 with no mid-afternoon break, so it works for a late lunch after the boat or the beach.

What to order: the suckling pig or the roast Mallorcan lamb, and the trampó or the frito to start.
