The Sa Fonda restaurant is located in the spacious, historical refectory of the of the monastery and pilgrims’ hospedaria of the Sanctuari de Lluc in the Tramuntana mountain range in the west of the Balearic island Mallorca. Large monolith, clear stone columns hold up the nave’s white wash ceiling supported by contrasting dark wooden beams, The kitchen’s specialty are Mallorcan dishes, but the potato fries, spaghettis and hamburgers that seem to please contemporary tourists are also on the menu. There is a small assortment of local wines. We had a red 2018 Ses Nines from Benissalem (Cabernet Sauvignon, Manto Negro, Callet), with a dark plum color, fresh, with a medium layer of violet tones. Taste is rounded, reminiscent of very ripe fruits (plums, blackberries, quince) giving way to soft notes of roasting, coming from the 5 month passage through the oak of the barrels. It has a silky, elegant, easy palate. The fine tannins, well conjugated and a very good acidity, give it a long and pleasant finish. At 10€ in the shop, the price is 18 € on the menu in Sa Fonda.The mineral water was in an unopened bottle as it should, but which is uncommon in Mallorca in our experience. We had tumbet for starters which was the dish of the destitute (just the local veggies, garlic in skin, olive oil and salt, and potatoes to add starch) and which became the defining Malloquin dish like pisto or ratatouille for Spain and France respectively. The Cordero al horno (oven cooked lamb with onion, tomatoes and potatoes) as mains was a delight, the Mariscos with chopped vegetables not so much.The place is crowed and lively, thus noisy, and the two or three waiters dash between the tables and the kitchen is geared towards efficiently following up with the requested dishes. All in all, and endearing experience

Hello. The Reservation via „TheFork“ was not sucessfull in the eyes of the restaurant. They told us: „we do not work with any online-reservation-tool since the last 3 months. And i do not know „the fork“. Sorry, but all tables are reserved …but not for you“. So, after an 1h 30min journey, we have to switch our plans and joined a restaurant in Inca.
The restaurant does not accept bookings from this platform and refused to give us a table. They said they had severed ties with Fork 2 months ago. Very disappointed.
The location is incredible, it matches everything that surrounds the restaurant, ideal for disconnecting from everyday life. The staff is friendly and the food is excellent.
The only negative is that you have to pay for parking to eat at the restaurant, which makes the bill more expensive. There should be a voucher for a couple of hours of parking if you've eaten at the restaurant. But otherwise, it's excellent.
