On August 21 the venue was transformed for an evening event named A CASA, aimed at “celebrating local culinary talent and sustainable practices in an intimate, communal setting”. The dinner was attended by about one hundred well-healed guests, including representatives from Calvia Council headed by mayor of Calvia Juan Antonio Amengual and his wife. The atmosphere was relaxing and welcoming, centred around a large communal table that encouraged engaging conversations among guests.
The event featured an impressive line-up of local chefs and a renowned bartender, each contributing their signature touch to the night’s offerings, hosted by Alex from start to the end. Irene Martinez from NUS opened the culinary presentations with exquisite starters; her Gyozas and Kamado Tuna were both delicious and set a high standard for the evening. Following the starters, main courses were creatively presented by Bernabé Caravotta from Vandal and Pau Navarro from Clandesti .
Bernabé’s Sirloin steak was ingeniously paired with 'Mallorcan carob soil,' offering a unique taste of the local ingredients, while Pau’s Mediterranean-style Cap Roig perfectly captured the essence of the sea surrounding our little rock. Both dishes were beautifully presented and tasted as great as each other. I probably ever so slightly preferred the tender, flaky fish, while my friend was a little bit more impressed with the steak.
In any case, I have not eaten at any of the three restaurants featured durin.
