Tomeu Caldentey Cuiner
Tomeu Caldentey Cuiner is chef Tomeu Caldentey's tasting-menu restaurant in Sa Coma, on the same site as his once-Michelin-starred Es Molí d'en Bou, cooking tiered tasting menus from an open kitchen after he voluntarily gave the star back in 2018.
Background
About Tomeu Caldentey Cuiner
The Story
Tomeu Caldentey Cuiner occupies the same Sa Coma address where chef Tomeu Caldentey ran Es Molí d'en Bou, the restaurant that made him the first Mallorcan-born chef to hold a Michelin star, from 2004. In May 2018 he voluntarily gave the star back after 15 years, saying the pursuit of ever more exclusive ingredients and elaborate dishes was pushing prices up and distancing him from a large part of his clientele. He reopened the same site under his own name with a simpler, open-kitchen format built around a tasting menu that isn't published in advance.
The Cuisine
The kitchen cooks tiered tasting menus, Menú Caldentey (5 courses), Menú Soler (8 courses) and Menú Tomeu (10 courses), rooted in Mallorcan cooking with broader influences; the restaurant doesn't publish the dishes in advance, since the sequence changes with the season and the chef's day-to-day instinct. A separate Cru (Asian Sigh) menu applies raw, marinated and macerated fish preparations with Asian-influenced seasoning, and a more informal Bartomeu menu and an à la carte blackboard called La Pizarra run alongside the tasting menus.
The Chef
The Team
Chef Tomeu Caldentey was born in 1972 in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar. He began culinary studies at the Juniper Serra hospitality school in 1986 and trained under chef Juan Romero at the Michelin-starred Xoriguer, plus stints at Hotel Son Vida and other Mallorcan kitchens, before taking over Es Molí d'en Bou at 27. His wife, Marga, is present front-of-house.
