Es Fum at St. Regis Mardavall, Mallorca

Es Fum is the Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant of the St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort, a five-star luxury hotel on the southwestern coast of Mallorca between Palma and the Andratx coast. The restaurant has held its Michelin star consistently and is regarded as one of the most theatrical and technically accomplished dining experiences in the Balearic Islands. The kitchen team presents a multi-course tasting menu — the only format available — that is structured as a narrative of Mallorca: ingredients are sourced from the island's fishing grounds, farms, and markets, and presented in sequences that build in complexity from the lightest marine preparations to the most intense land-sourced meat courses. Mallorcan red prawn (gamba roja) from the deep waters off the island's coast is treated as a luxury ingredient and appears in multiple preparations across a dedicated sequence. Lamb from local Mallorcan farms is cooked through several techniques to present the same product in different registers. The dining room is intimate and impeccably dressed — white tablecloths, discreet lighting, the hush of serious restaurant service. Wine pairing is available from a sommelier who holds particular expertise in Spanish fine wine. Reservations are made through the hotel and require advance planning, particularly in summer. Non-hotel guests are welcomed at dinner.
