Background

About Arrels by Marga Coll

The Story

Arrels is Marga Coll's restaurant inside the Gran Meliá de Mar hotel in Illetes, where it opened in April 2016. Coll is the chef and owner of Miceli in the village of Selva, and Arrels carries the same idea to the coast: cooking rooted in Mallorcan tradition and whatever the market turns up that morning. The name means 'roots'.

The Cuisine

The market writes the menu here. Coll buys the best produce each day, so the dishes change daily and you eat a set tasting menu rather than ordering à la carte. Repsol describes it as Balearic and Mediterranean cooking built on Mallorcan market recipes. Breakfast runs as a multi-stage menu; lunch and dinner are a longer tasting menu, with bay views from the dining terrace.

The Chef

Marga Coll

The Team

Marga Coll leads the kitchen. She's a well-known Mallorcan chef, best known for her village restaurant Miceli in Selva, and she personally chooses the produce that ends up on the Arrels menu each day. The cellar leans on Mallorcan and Balearic wines alongside Spanish Denominación de Origen bottles.
