TRADITION AND AVANT-GARDE AT THE HAND OF PABLO TOMAS

If you have the opportunity to visit Mallorca, on the seafront of Colonia Sant Jordi you will find the Salicornia Restaurant. A space full of light, with an enviable terrace facing the old fishing port and one of the best restaurants in Mallorca. It is a seafood restaurant with local products. From scorpions, brecas, sea bass to the famous Mallorcan red shrimp and lobsters in the area. A restaurant with seafood cuisine that highlights its sweet, dry rice and its fideuá.

Among its specialties it is worth mentioning its seafood rice, the fideuá a la llauna and Norway lobsters, in addition to the brandade of cod, the tuna tartar and egg yolk, the salmorejo with cockles and ‘pico de gallo’ or the rock octopus with red mojo and sobrasada oil. And if in such a short time (it has only been open for a couple of years) it has already become one of the best restaurants in Mallorca, it is thanks to its menu, conceived by chef Pablo Tomás, in charge of the kitchen of the Gallery Group, to which this Colonia Sant Jordi restaurant.

Pablo Tomás, an exceptional chef

The Aragonese chef Pablo Tomás, after going through the kitchens of large restaurants such as El Bulli, Arzak or Via Veneto, took over the cuisine of the Gallery Group. First, he was commissioned to start the Salicornia Restaurant in Colonia Sant Jordi de Mallorca. Shortly afterwards, he was commissioned to start the kitchen of the Sintonía Restaurant that the same group opened in the center of Barcelona. And in both it has distinguished itself by granting them their personal seal.

If there is one thing that distinguishes the chef’s work, it is his constant search for perfection and detail. For example, the Salicornia Restaurant menu is a seafood restaurant based on fresh local produce. But as Pablo Tomás himself tells us: «We tested seven different seafood suppliers before being satisfied with the quality. Now we buy fish from a company in Sóller ».

Salicornia, a unique seafood restaurant

There are many reasons that make the Salicornia Restaurant an exceptional seafood restaurant. Characteristics that clearly differentiate it from the rest of the restaurants in Colonia Sant Jordi. We could talk about its special location, or its well-kept and pleasant decoration, or its unique terrace with magnificent views.

But, definitely, what makes Salicornia stand out among the best restaurants in Colonia Sant Jordi and that, definitely, makes it one of the best restaurants in Mallorca is its careful menu created by its chef. That careful combination of tradition and modernity, of known dishes with a touch of innovation. Always with a base of fresh and seasonal products and an absolutely exquisite elaboration.
