Restaurant / Gastronomy in Portocolom

Portocolom, the natural harbour on Mallorca's east coast where fishing boats and sailing yachts moor side by side, offers a dining scene as calm and down-to-earth as the village itself. Around the harbour quay and the narrow streets of the former fishing village, a mix of restaurants has developed that centres on fresh fish and Mediterranean cooking, fitting for a place built right on the water. Mallorca.com's business directory lists 43 entries under Restaurant / Gastronomy for Portocolom.

The choice ranges from simple tapas bars and cafés along the harbour promenade to restaurants overlooking the boats in what is considered the largest natural harbour in the Balearics. Away from the water, wandering the small streets around the lighthouse and the church turns up further addresses that cater more to locals and diners from the wider Felanitx area than to passing visitors alone.

Since Portocolom shifts between a quiet fishing village and a lively summer destination depending on the season, booking ahead is worthwhile especially in July and August. The village is easily reached by road from Felanitx, making it simple to combine a meal with a stroll along the harbour.
