An absolute gem! Traditional food with lovely service. I had multiple conversations with the people that were working there and they were also lovely. I might even go hiking with one! Definitely come here for local vibes and delicious food. I also loved the Mallorcan wine.

Nice food from a limited, but very competent menu. There was an issue with our Sangria and it was changed quickly and without any fuss. Mrs B had a suckling pig, portion was quite small but she said it was very tasty. I had the sea bass fillet with bacon and coriander, which was exceptional.... both dishes came with a potato gratin which was rather tepid and a little disappointing. We sat inside and There was no atmosphere at all, I suppose that it's a good sign all the outside seating was fully booked.

Came about by chance having spotted up a side street as we walked along the boulevard looking for someone serving something a little different . Wasn’t sure at first as menu limited and I’m someone who doesn’t eat fish and a little fussy on other things but my husband liked different so I thought there was a couple of things I could choose . We asked for inside as mozzies have been a bit of a pest on the trip, we were the only ones inside but we were made welcome and table immediately set for us . Hubbie had the broad beans start which came in a mini cast iron pot and it was more like a little stew which was delicious and I had a rich extremely tasty tomato soup . Then the main attraction … drum roll please…. Suckling pork and leg of lamb - simply beautifully cooked with subtle flavours that just melted - start of lots of oo’s and ah’s presented well with a veg and a little parcel of Spanish omelette. Unfortunately no room for dessert ( should of passed on the bread ) Service was swift and friendly and they are clearly proud of what they do and loved the local farm to table ethos - you can tell the difference . Good served with love , care and passion

Excellent atmosphere in the garden section. Menu is small - but a few things done brilliantly. Went twice on the holiday, recommended the lamb, goat, steaks, fish, everything really! The house wine is great and the service lovely. If you in the area, duck down the side streets and enjoy!

Great food! Lamb shoulder is slow cooked and melts off the bone, served with a subtly flavored mint sauce, veggies, and potatoes. The almond sponge cake was warm from the oven, and topped with almond ice cream, a sliver of fig, and the plate decorated with a tart syrup that paired well with the cake.

Really lovely place to be, to enjoy food and have a wonderful eating experience. We stayed in the apartment above the restaurant and got to enjoy the food for lunch twice and dinner three times, one of them being the Flamenco Night. We were there end of July/beginning of August 2024. The food is really amazing, as a half spanish, being spoiled my my grandmas cooking when I was younger, I d say the food quality and taste is amazing. I am super picky with my Paellas due to my grandmas cooking and knowing how look it takes for such a great meal. At Zarzales they are very close to the best paellas of my grandma! Please bear in mind, it takes time, wait for it and give them the time and you will be spoiled! We also had the Tapas, Tumbet, Salad with Goats Cheese, Roast Suckling Pig, Cabrito, the Pasta... uhhhh and wait for the Dessert!!!! Grandmas Cheesecake, BEST! Now to the service, you feel welcome and being taken care of. Sitting outside of the restaurant or in the little "Patio", so romantic... :D

A MUST VISIT in Pollença! We were only visiting for 4 nights... discovered Los Zarzales on our 2nd night for dinner, and went back the 3rd and 4th! Josephine and Yolanda were wonderful; nothing too much trouble and made us feel like we were coming home each night. Food was extraordinary- I'm a veggie and my husband is fussy when it comes to meat. Hands down best goats cheese salad I've ever tasted my husband said the same about the Lamb Shank and Suckling Pork he ate. Would give 6 stars if we could. Thank you for such wonderful service, food and memories- we are already planning our next trip!
