Expert review of Sebastian
Inventive Mediterranean fare is served in a 250-year-old Deià stable turned high-class bistro.
German chef Sebastian Pasch worked his way around various Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe before breaking off alone a couple of years ago. He’s since earned a loyal following for his inventive use of island products.
Food and drink:
Expect Majorcan products with an inventive use of Asian, German and Scandinavian flavours: dill for example, or sweet papaya.
Recommended dishes:
I like the lobster with white asparagus and tarragon, and the pan-fried duck liver with rhubarb.
Ambience:
The atmosphere is nicely down-to-earth despite a growing celebrity clientele (Andrew Lloyd Weber had a birthday party here recently). Stone walls, old terracotta floors, built-in banquettes piled high with cushions and tall candelabras make it nice and cosy, which is why, despite forgoing views across the valley, I prefer it by night. Come on a date, it’s no fun alone.
Service:
You can smell the passion for food in the air, but you’ll find no egotistic chef rules. If you’re vegetarian, dairy intolerant, or simply like your meat well done, welcome: Sebastian and Patricia accommodate all.
Location:
On a side street, no sea views, but striking ones of the valley.
Price advice:
Chalked up daily specials can be a good deal, but expect to spend at least 50 euros a head without wine.
Tables to book:
Ask to sit by a window in summer or snuggle up on the banquettes when it gets cold.
