Deia, the Pound and eating out

Deia (sometimes Deya) in Mallorca is a truly beautiful place and it has what is probably the most dramatic backdrop to any village I’ve seen. Having just spent a week there, I know this. Look it up and you’ll know what I mean.

You could eat out in a different restaurant every night, however, with the current strength of the pound, it isn’t cheap. To the contrary, it’s expensive. Following the final night’s meal I must have flossed out £5 worth of food… Maybe I should have kept it longer to make the most of it!

If you’re going, of the restaurants we ate at Sa Dorada was my favourite. Best value, good food and a menu that suited my tastes I guess… and the little extras make a difference. Las Palmeras is one to avoid (sorry!), at first it seems like a simpler more ‘cost effective’ restaurant; simpler it is, cost effective it isn’t. Elements of the food were disappointing at any price, and any ‘extras’ are charged (olives, bread) and it all adds up to more than you hoped. Not good value.
