Restaurant La Parra in Porto Cristo

"Food was amazing, service was really good, and their menu of the day was super filling and affordable. Really loved it and would recommend it to anyone who comes to Porto Cristo!"

"The sa para restaurant is a little of the beaten track out of the main tourist area of the port & is set just of the main road very close by to a local supermarket . The sa parra's atmosphere & vibe is a fusion of Spanish/majorcan rustic decor & some modern features which all blend in well with the buildings style which is an antique property that has been renovated to a high standard in its interior without loosing it's antique charm . The bar is a pleasure to view & has a variety of different drinks that are local to the island & also has a fair selection of international spirits e.g whiskeys & brandy's , all upon display , plus a good wine selection & beer in bottles & on tap . The sa parra also has a good coffee machine & upon my visit I did try the decaffeinated option just for a change , & I was impressed with it's taste & flavour . The staff here are welcoming & friendly & prompt on service . The food on offer here is particularly good value & of much lower cost than in the port area & the drinks prices are modest also . The range of dishes here vary from cakes & pastries to salad & snacks & it's very special paella !! , which is very popular with the locals & I'm sure tourists alike , if they pop in like myself by chance , it is a little bit special !! . I have enclosed some pictures of the sa parra & if you visit yourself I'm sure you'll be taking a good few of your own ! . The sa parra is an ideal place for a romantic evening meal for two , a night out with friends , or just a good cup of coffee in the day . A must place visit for those who enjoy a more traditional rustic majorcan/Spanish style atmosphere & quality food & drinks @ sensible prices . Can only recommend."

"An authentic local restaurant and all the better for it. Absolutely no pretensions. It serves wonderful Mallorcan food, I imagine like at home. The welcome was warm but to our surprize every table had been reserved. The lady quickly found us a small table for three and squeezed us in. Within minutes everyone arrived on tables of 6 and 8. However the service was first rate and through broken Spanish we order a selection from the blackboard. The lighting is a bit stark but the atmosphere was buzzing. Highly recommended and half he price of the tourist places."

"The menu for this place is very simple - it's written on a chalkboard and only in Spanish, so make sure you have Google translate ready at hand! The food is like home made, big portions and fast delivery. There is a large selection of desserts. We chose baked apple with cinnamon, which was delicious. I would have liked to have something crunchy on the side of the apple. We also had a cheesecake with Berry jam topping. The service was great even though we communicated in a broken Spanish!"

"Best paella I ve ever had! Part of a menu incl drink and dessert for 10€"

"The ambiance is really good. Staffs are welcoming, very friendly. Also the food was tasty. Good atmosphere, recommended."

"The food was perfect service was excellent. The vibe in the restaurant as I expected calm, friendly... Thank you for the brilliant experience"

"A very welcoming place where me and my friend had a chance to taste the best Mallorcan red wine (we ordered a bottle that was not cheap, but was so worth it!) and best of all what could be the best paella I had tasted (and I tell you it was not the first one!). I am Spanish and I can say that it was exceptional. I don’t like sea-food and (as compared to some “castle place” I called before) they were flexible enough to make a “meat paella” for us. The place, though being next to a local road, is very pleasant, with greenery all around and a familiar welcoming. The capuchino was elaborate and the “granizado de almendra” was an amazing discovery. Here goes one of my very few 5 out of 5s! For those who want to take a breather from the touristy tracks, here is one for you!"
