Best Restaurants in Alcúdia & Port d'Alcúdia

By Justin Mota, Guidavera founder/Published /6 min read

Introduction

The Mallorca Restaurants in Alcúdia & Port d'Alcúdia List We Send to Friends

Port d'Alcúdia and the Playa de Muro stretch just south of it cover a lot of ground: a fine-dining tasting menu with a Michelin star and a Green Star, a second Michelin-starred kitchen a few minutes further along the bay, seafront paella houses that have been open since the 90s, and beach restaurants where lunch means a table on the sand. Maca de Castro anchors the list, chef Macarena de Castro's single tasting menu in a villa above the port, built on the island's fish auction and her own garden in Sa Pobla. Fusion19, in Playa de Muro, is the bay's other Michelin star, now run by chefs Aleix Serra and Marc Marsol after founding chef Javier Hoebeeck moved on.

A Guide to Restaurants in Alcúdia & Port d'Alcúdia in Mallorca

The scene

Between those two, the list covers the rest of how people actually eat here. Bistro Mar and Ca Na Marcè handle the Port d'Alcúdia promenade, one a paella institution running since 1993, the other an all-day, bay-view stop from breakfast through dinner. Can Gavella and Ponderosa Beach cover the sand at Playa de Muro's Ses Casetes des Capellans, both first-line beach restaurants built around rice and paella, one on a family recipe, the other under chef Kike Martí's arroces de autor. Every restaurant here is drawn from Guidavera's verified Mallorca dataset, cross-checked against Michelin, Repsol, and each restaurant's own published information. Where a detail (hours, pricing, booking system) isn't confirmed, we've said so rather than guessed.

Which restaurant in Alcúdia has a Michelin star?

Maca de Castro, in Port d'Alcúdia, holds 1 Michelin Star (plus a Michelin Green Star) and 3 Repsol Soles. A short drive south at Playa de Muro, Fusion19 also holds 1 Michelin Star and 1 Repsol Sol.

Who is the chef at Maca de Castro?

Macarena de Castro, known as Maca. She started at the family's Jardín restaurant in Port d'Alcúdia in 1996, took over the kitchen in 2003, and in 2012 became the first woman in Mallorca to win a Michelin Star.

Where can you eat paella on the beach near Alcúdia?

Can Gavella and Ponderosa Beach both sit first-line on the sand at Playa de Muro's Ses Casetes des Capellans stretch, just south of Port d'Alcúdia. Can Gavella runs on a family paella recipe; Ponderosa Beach's arroces de autor come from chef Kike Martí.

Does Bistro Mar take online reservations?

There's no online booking system listed. Call +34 971 54 57 04 to reserve and to check current hours. Bistro Mar has run on the Port d'Alcúdia seafront promenade since 1993, under the Colom family.

How We Built This List

Years of Eating, Asking, and Going Back

We built this list the slow way, area by area, and Port d'Alcúdia needed a lens that could hold both ends of how people actually eat there. The list runs from fine dining, Maca de Castro's tasting menu built on the fish auction and her own garden, and Fusion19's Michelin star a few minutes down the coast, through to seafront paella institutions and the first-line beach tables at Playa de Muro. Every restaurant here is drawn from Guidavera's verified Mallorca dataset, cross-checked against Michelin, Repsol and each restaurant's own published information, rather than ranked from a desk. Where a detail like hours, pricing or a booking system wasn't confirmed, we've said so rather than guessed. Several of these places are tasting-menu-only with limited seatings or get busy fast in high season, so book ahead where the practical notes say to.

#262 of 338·€€·Port d'Alcúdia·Mediterranean

Bistro Mar has run on the Port d'Alcúdia seafront promenade since 1993, under the Colom family, built on freshness and tradition. Fish is selected daily from Alcúdia's market, with paella running to black cuttlefish, seafood and mixed versions, alongside grilled clams, squid and cuttlefish croquettes, and separate children's, dessert and wine menus. The long run under one family gives it a settled, well-worn feel, and prices are fair for what's on the plate. There's no online booking system listed, so call ahead on 971 54 57 04 to reserve and to confirm current hours.

Can Gavella sits first-line on the sand at Playa de Muro's Ses Casetes des Capellans stretch, positioning itself as a reference point on the beach where different generations have gathered over the years. The kitchen centres on Mallorcan paella made from a family recipe passed down through generations, alongside seafood paella, fideuà de marisco, grilled fish, Iberian pork, lamb chops and burgers, with vegetarian and vegan options noted and a cocktail list on the side. Hours shift by season, in June through August the kitchen runs 12:00 to 16:00 and 18:00 to 20:00, so check the restaurant's site before you go. Reservations run through MyRestoo.

#336 of 338·€€€·Platja de Muro·Rice & Paella·Chef: Kike Martí

Ponderosa Beach sits directly on the sand at Ses Casetes des Capellans, the historic wooden-cabin stretch at the southern end of Playa de Muro, styling itself a 'chiringuito 2.0' that keeps the barefoot feel but plates things up properly. Chef Kike Martí runs the kitchen's arroces de autor, rice dishes and paellas built on regional seafood and local rice varieties, under a 0-km Slow Food line working with local farmers and Mallorcan fishermen; the wider menu runs to things like creamy ceviche, bonito tartare and grilled octopus leg. There's a seasonal music programme with live sets toward sunset, and it's one of the busiest tables on this stretch of coast, so book ahead through the restaurant's own site, especially for a midday spot in July and August.

The bigger picture

The Restaurants in Alcúdia & Port d'Alcúdia Scene in Mallorca

Port d'Alcúdia and the Playa de Muro stretch just south of it cover a lot of ground in a small area. At one end is fine dining: Maca de Castro's single tasting menu, built on the island's fish auction and her own garden in Sa Pobla, holds a Michelin star and a Green Star, and Fusion19 a few minutes further along the bay holds the area's other Michelin star, now led by chefs Aleix Serra and Marc Marsol. At the other end are the seafront paella houses: Bistro Mar has run on the Port d'Alcúdia promenade since 1993, and Ca Na Marcè covers the same stretch all day, from breakfast through dinner. Further south, Can Gavella and Ponderosa Beach put beach restaurants first-line on the sand at Playa de Muro's Ses Casetes des Capellans, one on a family paella recipe, the other under chef Kike Martí's arroces de autor. What ties the list together is the range itself: a Michelin tasting menu and a beach paella table sit within a few minutes' drive of each other.
