The Top 17 Restaurants Near Smoix
-
Rank 1. Smoix
Mediterranean
Set on a historic Menorcan estate beside the Sant Ignasi hotel, Smoix is a contemporary restaurant where the setting does a lot of the talking before the food arrives. The team keeps things focused: a short menu plus two tasting options, one of them fully vegetable-driven. The cooking is Mediterranean at its roots, updated just enough to feel considered rather than fussy. Dress comfortably; this is the countryside, and it shows.

Rank 2. Godai
Contemporary Japanese
-
Rank 3. Ca na Pilar
Contemporary French
The patio terrace at this farmhouse restaurant on the road into Es Migjorn Gran books up for dinner and not much else, which tells you something about priorities. Inside, the feel is rustic with a contemporary edge, and the cooking runs on market-fresh Menorcan ingredients with French inflections. The smoked pâté de campagne is a near-permanent fixture on the menu, which regulars will tell you is exactly as it should be.
-
A Menorcan country house converted into a small rural hotel, with a terrace shaded by the kind of afternoon light that makes you order more than you planned. The kitchen runs on its own organic garden, olive trees, and beehives, and two set menus lean into that self-sufficiency hard, one built around honey, the other around the house olive oil. The à la carte adds rice dishes, pasta, and a lobster section that requires advance notice, which feels appropriately serious.

Rank 5. Torralbenc Menorca
Contemporary Mediterranean
A farmhouse wrapped in vineyards on the road between Maó and Cala en Porter, this restaurant is the dining room for the Torralbenc hotel, though it pulls its own weight. The kitchen, guided by Gorka Txapartegui of Hondarribia's Alameda, runs a contemporary Mediterranean menu that leans hard on what the island actually grows and fishes. The terrace, unhurried and shaded, makes it easy to lose track of how many courses you've ordered.
-
Rank 6. El Romero
Menorcan Mediterranean
An Italian couple who fell for Menorca now runs this market-driven restaurant across the square from the Santa María de Mahón church. Ingredients come straight off fishing boats and local farms, so the menu shifts with whatever showed up that morning. The kitchen leans Menorcan but can't quite resist a passatelli, the chef's mother's Emilia Romagna recipe, made with island cheese instead of parmesan. The kitchen is fully gluten-free.

Rank 7. Candela
Mediterranean
-
Rank 8. La Cocina de Cristine
Menorcan Mediterranean
Carpets, mirrors, and vintage furniture fill the dining room of this Mediterranean restaurant inside a boutique hotel, and the kitchen leans just as hard into the local. The chef, a Menorcan, builds the menu around island products, from Sa Llotja's catch to sobrasada de payés, served either à la carte or across a tasting menu. It's the kind of room where the food and the setting are clearly in on the same joke.
-
Rank 9. El Rais
Menorcan Spanish
-
A farmhouse south of Sant Lluís that started life as a picnic spot and has been quietly doing its own thing ever since. The cooking is rooted in Menorcan tradition, with contemporary touches and a dedicated section of rice dishes that regulars tend to navigate toward. The room feels like a house because it is one, with a hostess who runs it like she means it and a wine list that ranges further than you might expect out here.
-
Rank 11. Voro
Modern Mediterranean
A tasting menu restaurant inside the Cap Vermell Grand Hotel complex, Voro holds two Michelin stars and takes its name from the Latin for "to devour," which does set a certain expectation. High ceilings, a single menu, and a chef whose cooking moves between his Andalusian hometown, the island, and the broader Mediterranean, structured loosely around the arc of a day's sunlight, from dawn through to sunset.

Rank 12. Can Simoneta Gastronòmic
Mexiterranean Mexican
-
Rank 13. Sa Pleta by Marc Fosh
Modern Mediterranean
The open kitchen runs on charcoal and open flame, and the dining room looks straight out over the Mallorcan coast. This is the modern Mediterranean restaurant inside the Pleta de Mar hotel, where Marc Fosh lends his name and a young local chef runs the kitchen day to day. The à la carte and tasting menu both lean hard into Balearic ingredients: fish from the market, local meats, vegetables pulled from the season.
-
Rank 14. Maca de Castro
Mediterranean
A daily meditation written in a book by the door sets the tone at this Michelin-starred tasting-menu restaurant on the first floor of a villa in Port d'Alcúdia. Chef Macarena de Castro builds a single surprise menu around Mallorca's seasons, sourcing from island producers, nearby auctions, and her own vegetable garden in Sa Pobla. The room is modern and spare, and the cooking leans into Mediterranean flavors with a creative edge that makes the local obsession feel earned.
-
A glass-fronted cellar stocked with over 400 labels lines the dining room at this Michelin-starred fine-dining restaurant a short walk from Playa de Muro. The two young chefs behind the kitchen run tasting menus built around Mallorcan ingredients, many from their own vegetable garden near Alcudia, with the occasional international detour to keep things interesting. The winter-garden corner softens what could feel like a serious room.
-
The menu at this Port de Pollença restaurant changes almost daily, driven entirely by what Mallorca's small producers happen to deliver. Chef David Rivas works à la carte or through tasting menus, finishes dishes tableside, and runs the kitchen on a strict no-additives, zero-waste philosophy with a heavy lean on the grill. Relaxed in feel, serious in intent, the kind of room where the food arrives with a short explanation rather than a long apology.
