Tasting-menu dinner in a former 17th-century oil mill inside the La Residencia hotel, with a summer terrace over Deià; recommended by the Michelin Guide.

Dining in an olive mill
El Olivo is the gourmet restaurant of La Residencia, the Belmond hotel on the Son Canals estate, at the entrance to Deià. It occupies a former 17th-century oil mill and keeps the tafona, the original press. In summer you dine on the terrace, with the village and the Tramuntana in front of you. The Michelin Guide recommends it and marks it as a place for a special occasion.
What you eat
Modern Mediterranean cooking with Arab influences from the Granada birthplace of its chef, Pablo Aranda, inspired by the poetry of Lorca, according to the guide. You dine on the tasting menu, and there is a vegetarian one. The Michelin highlights the Albayzín dish. No prices are published: it is a dinner at the highest price level, the kind you book in good time.
Hours and season
Dinner only, from 19:00 to 21:00 according to the guide, every day. Neither the guide nor the hotel's website gives the winter closing dates: if you go from November to March, call first on 971 63 90 11.
Before you go
Book directly with the restaurant; the guide says it handles its own reservations. It has parking and air conditioning, accepts cards and does not allow pets. If you are not staying in Deià, bear in mind the drive back at night on the Ma-10: bends all the way to Valldemossa and Palma.
For a two-day plan, combine dinner with a morning at the Robert Graves house and the climb to Es Puig.

Qué pedir: the tasting menu; the Michelin Guide highlights the Albayzín dish.
