Restaurante Cala Fornells
Restaurante Cala Fornells is the seaside dining room and terrace at the family-run Hotel Cala Fornells in Peguera's Cala Fornells cove, serving a reservation-only Mediterranean dinner and a daytime snack-bar terrace over the water; Guía Repsol named it a 'Solete' in its spring 2026 update.
Background
About Restaurante Cala Fornells
The Story
Restaurante Cala Fornells is the restaurant and terrace of Hotel Cala Fornells, a hotel that has stood in the Cala Fornells cove since 1947 and is still run by the same family, three generations on. Dinner is a reservation-only service in the hotel's dining room, while a separate snack-bar terrace looks directly over the cove's water for breakfast, daytime food and drinks. In spring 2026, Guía Repsol recognised the hotel's terrace with a 'Solete', its distinction for bars, restaurants and chiringuitos offering quality and a good experience at accessible prices.
The Cuisine
The kitchen serves home-style Mediterranean cooking built on fresh, local ingredients. Dinner is a daily-changing service combining a buffet of starters and desserts with a la carte main courses, offered either as a fixed four-course menu or priced by course. The snack-bar terrace runs a simpler, more international daytime menu with nods to local dishes such as Majorcan trempó and pa amb oli.
The Team
No specific head chef or executive chef is named in public sources as of this record; the hotel (and its kitchen) is run by the family that has owned Hotel Cala Fornells since it opened in 1947. Contact the hotel directly for current kitchen leadership.

How to Book Restaurante Cala Fornells
Booking
The restaurant runs a reservation-only dinner (a fixed four-course menu or a la carte by course), while the adjoining snack-bar terrace over the water is walk-in for daytime food and drinks. Hotel Cala Fornells has been run by the same family since 1947 and operates seasonally, reopening in mid-February and closing around November 1, so the restaurant only runs within that window. Call or email ahead, especially if you aren't staying at the hotel, to confirm they can seat you.

The view says it all. Who would you like to share this moment with? 💫
One of the most iconic spaces in Hotel Cala Fornells is the round lounge. When the hotel opened in 1947, it had only two rooms built around this circular room, which quickly became the heart of the house. Over the decades, countless conversations, evenings and memories have taken place here. Some
Last season many of you could notice that one of the two old pines on our terrace had died. It had been there for decades, growing with us, at least from 1947, watching over the bay and becoming part of the view so many of you remember. This winter we planted a new one in its place 🐣 For now it’s
