O96

Background
About O96
The Story
O96 sits on the coastal road linking Alcúdia and Port de Pollença, right on the Bay of Pollença waterfront in the Alcúdia municipality. The restaurant runs across several distinct spaces, a dining room, a garden and terraces (including a rooftop), so the feel changes depending on where you sit, sea view up front or a quieter, leafier patio further back. It's an a la carte cantina rather than a tasting-menu restaurant, built around raw and cold starters, hot small plates, a Josper grill and rice dishes meant for two or more, plus a separate dessert and wine list. The restaurant reopens each year for the summer season; press coverage in spring 2026 covered its return for that season under chef Vanessa Silva.
The Cuisine
The kitchen calls its style BajaMed: contemporary Mediterranean cooking read through Latin American technique. On the printed menu that means Mediterranean staples, oysters, an all-ibérico ham board, watermelon gazpacho, sitting alongside a shrimp aguachile, a corvina ceviche in leche de tigre, and a Bluefin tuna tostada with yuca, while the Brasas section runs on the Josper grill: a 45-day aged Menorcan chuletón, ternera menorquina solomillo, and whole fish (pargo, rodaballo) sold by the kilo for the table. The Arroces section is priced per person with a minimum of two.
The Chef
The Team
Chef Vanessa Silva, born in Los Teques, Venezuela, is Executive Chef at O96 and also leads Mestis, a sister all-day restaurant in Santa Catalina, Palma. Coverage of her career describes a cooking style shaped by her Venezuelan upbringing, she has cited her grandmothers' home cooking and Venezuelan chef Héctor Romero as influences, applied to Mallorcan produce and Mediterranean technique.
