Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to book at Sa Trobada, or can I just turn up?
According to several reviews, Sa Trobada can often be visited without a reservation, although it may get busy at peak times.

How long does it take for the food to be served?
Waiting times can vary depending on the dish, as some items are prepared fresh. Reviews mention a paella for 4 people being served in about 30 minutes, while another guest waited around 40 minutes for food. If you are in a hurry, it is worth mentioning this when ordering. Sa Trobada therefore seems to focus on freshly prepared dishes rather than very fast service.
How far is Sa Trobada from the sea or the promenade?
Several guests describe Sa Trobada as about a 10-minute walk from the seafront, while another says it is only a few minutes from the beachfront promenade. The restaurant is therefore not directly on the water, but a little away from the main strip in a residential area or on the edge of Cala Ratjada. It is still easy to reach on foot. The exact route depends on where you start in Cala Ratjada.
