These two restaurants on the same street in Genova, a ten-minute drive away from the center of town, serve traditional Mallorquin dishes, and have been recommended as an excellent venue for informal lunch or dinner between friends. Specialties of the house include “buey a la piedra”, beef sizzled on a hot marble and “carracole”- snails. Most traditional dishes are otherwise reportedly excellent and the helpings are more then generous. Prices are extremely reasonable.
