Description

Restaurante Can Ara is a Spanish-Italian restaurant in Cala Rajada, bringing together Spanish and Mediterranean cooking with Italian influences.

Spanish, Italian, Mediterranean

Can Ara moves confidently between two culinary traditions: Spanish classics such as paella and seafood sit alongside Italian dishes like pasta and pinsa. Freshly prepared paella — including a seafood and a vegetarian version —, fish, mussels in tomato sauce, prawns, fried mini octopus with aioli, bruschetta, tapas and pasta are all firm fixtures on the menu. Tuna steak, salmon pasta with spinach, truffle ravioli with porcini mushrooms, vitello tonnato and prawn risotto are among the dishes that guests particularly single out. The home-cooking roots show clearly: dishes are made fresh to order, and the house-made aioli earns a special mention time and again.

Character & Atmosphere

Can Ara is very much a family-run venture — unhurried, intimate and free from the bustle of more heavily touristy spots. The atmosphere is consistently warm and personal. Families with children are genuinely welcome, and the restaurant is well set up for groups too. Value for money is widely regarded as fair and well-matched to what's on the plate.

Where to Find It

The restaurant is located at Calle Almirante Cervera 16 in Cala Rajada — tucked away on a side street just off the busy tourist centre.
