Restaurant Forn de Sant Joan
Entrance of the Forn de Sant Joan
Last week I went to the restaurant “Forn de Sant Joan” with my wife. We had a lovely dinner chatting with his owner Carlos and his sommelier.
Is a family restaurant located in “La Lonja”, Palma’s old quarter. An emblematic place where you will be able to enjoy authentic Mediterranean cooking in a unique spot, situated in a building dated from 1890. It was originally a bakery where, decades earlier, neighbours bought their daily bread.
The food is exceptional, mixing the typical “tapas” with their own receipts, fresh fish that is bought at 200 meters direcly from the “lonja” (place where fishermen download after their work) or meat like beef, duck, kangaroo…
After the dinner we drank a couple of gins in the bar of the restaurant, but If you ever visit La Lonja I recommend you to make a reservation in “Jazz Café”, a live Jazz bar located at 15 meters from “Forn de Sant Joan”.
You can call for advance reservations at +34 971 728 422, which is highly recommended. If you show up between 9 and 11 without a reservation you can expect to wait at least 15 to 20 minutes for a table. If you don’t have a reservation and there is a wait, you can always put your name down and spend a good 20 to 30 minutes at few bars around.
Middle-high price range: starter, main dish, dessert, wine (25 €) and water was 60€ per pax.
