NU
NU is a two-day-a-week fusion restaurant in the inland village of Montuïri, where the kitchen rewrites a short seasonal menu every week and takes no reservations. It was newly awarded a Repsol Solete in 2026, one of only two of that year's picks from Mallorca's interior.
Background
About NU
The Story
NU is a small restaurant in Montuïri, an inland village in the Pla de Mallorca, that only opens two days a week, a Thursday evening service and a longer Friday. It doesn't take reservations, so seating is first-come, first-served, and there's a garden terrace out back alongside the main room. In the Guía Repsol's spring 2026 round of Soletes, the guide's recognition for unpretentious, well-loved spots rather than formal fine dining, NU was named as one of just two 2026 picks from Mallorca's interior, alongside a pizzeria in Sencelles.
The Cuisine
The kitchen rewrites its short menu every week around whatever's in season, and reviewers describe a fusion style built on a Mediterranean base with Mexican, Thai and Indian touches. Dishes that have come up in customer reviews include fish tacos, ceviche, a picanha sandwich, an eggplant curry, burritos, octopus and a torrija for dessert, but none of that is fixed since the carte turns over from one week to the next and is mostly announced on social media rather than printed.
The Team
Reviews refer to the chef by his first name, Juan, describing an open kitchen where he cooks and comes out to talk with diners in Spanish and English. NU doesn't publish a chef or ownership name on any source found this session, so we're leaving the structured chef field blank rather than asserting a name we can't fully confirm.

NU's diner ratings sit at the very top on every platform checked, consistently around 4.8 to 4.9 out of 5. Reviewers repeatedly call out the cooking, the open-kitchen setting and the chef's welcome, alongside the tradeoff of very limited opening hours and no reservations.

How to Book NU
Booking
Given the two-day week and no-booking policy, arrive early on Thursday or Friday if you want a table without a wait. Calling the restaurant directly is the only way to confirm it's actually open, since the schedule is set week to week by the chef.
Experience
NU Dining Experience
NU runs out of a small village-centre space in Montuïri with an open kitchen you can talk across and a garden terrace at the back. Reviewers consistently describe it as relaxed and family-friendly rather than formal. It only opens two days a week and takes no bookings, so the room fills on a first-come basis, and the whole operation reads more like a chef's personal project than a restaurant built for volume.
