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. ## Key picks at a glance - **Best for a special occasion** — [Maca de Castro](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/maca-de-castro): 1 Michelin Star, a Green Star and 3 Repsol Soles, a single tasting menu built on Maca's own garden. - **Best for the area's other Michelin star** — [Fusion19](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/fusion19): tasting-menu-only cooking that moves from Mallorcan tradition out through Asia and Latin America. - **Best paella institution** — [Bistro Mar](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/bistro-mar-restaurante-bistro-mar): on the Port d'Alcúdia promenade since 1993, fish selected daily from Alcúdia's market. - **Best for an all-day stop** — [Ca Na Marcè](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/ca-na-marce-grupo-boulevard): runs breakfast through dinner on a bay-view terrace, plus its own ice cream corner. - **Best family-recipe beach paella** — [Can Gavella](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/can-gavella): first-line on the sand at Ses Casetes des Capellans, paella from a family recipe. - **Best beach table for rice** — [Ponderosa Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/ponderosa-beach-ponderosa-beach-club): chef Kike Martí's arroces de autor, built on a 0-km Slow Food approach. ## 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. > "One 1-star tasting menu built on a garden in Sa Pobla, a second star ten minutes down the coast, and a paella table on the sand for whichever way the day goes." ## How we built this list 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. ## The 6 best Restaurants in Alcúdia & Port d'Alcúdia, compared | # | Restaurant | Neighbourhood | Price | Distinction | Signature dish | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | [Maca de Castro](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/maca-de-castro) | Port d'Alcúdia | €€ | Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 3 Soles | — | | 2 | [Bistro Mar](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/bistro-mar-restaurante-bistro-mar) | Port d'Alcúdia | €€ | — | — | | 3 | [Ca Na Marcè](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/ca-na-marce-grupo-boulevard) | Port d'Alcúdia | €€ | — | — | | 4 | [Fusion19](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/fusion19) | Platja de Muro | €€ | Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 1 Sol | — | | 5 | [Can Gavella](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/can-gavella) | Platja de Muro | €€ | Repsol Solete | — | | 6 | [Ponderosa Beach](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/ponderosa-beach-ponderosa-beach-club) | Platja de Muro | €€€ | — | — | ## The 6 best Restaurants in Alcúdia & Port d'Alcúdia in Mallorca ### 1.
