Maca de Castro: A Mallorcan chef with roots in Port d’Alcúdia

Maca de Castro’s cooking has its roots in her family’s restaurant business in Port d’Alcúdia. It’s a part of Mallorca many people first get to know on holiday, and her restaurant is a reason to explore the port through the ingredients she brings to the table.

Start with what’s in season

A fun way to read a tasting menu is to pick out one ingredient you recognise and see what the kitchen does with it. At Maca de Castro, that can lead you straight back to the island’s farms, fishing boats and seasons. If you’re planning a trip, leave time to see the old town and the port. They tell quite different stories about the same municipality.
