Having living in California and been to many renown sushi restaurants around the world, I was surprised by the sushi here. You never thought you find this quality of sushi on an island in a very rural town of Palma. Frankly, if this place is in my neighborhood, it'd have been my go to sushi place.
Understanding, taste is a subjective thing but if you want some sushi, come try this place. You may be pleasantly surprised.
The sushi leans toward more sweetness than others, it's a little bit moist as well. However, they did a great job with the sushi rice. Some may prefer more vinegar then sweetness but to me, it tastes great.
The ingredients are very fresh, the unagi was really good. I think it has to do with it's farm raised in Spain compared to those in USA and many Asian countries (besides Japan and may even some Japanese sushi places) uses Chinese or Vietnamese farm raised. You can tell the difference from those with this Spain raised ones. The Japanese one is probably one of the best. The Chinese farmed ones not as good.
As for the other fishes are all from Europe. Fresh and taste really good. The octopus was fresh as expected and the tuna and shrimp was excellent.
The only one I'm not sure was one of the roll which has ginger in it. It overwhelmed all the other flavors (that's why I forgot what it was). However, it could be a local favorite since different region loves different combinations.
The owner is an Argentina couple. However, they have excellent artistic taste of Japanese decor. Impressive bansai tree in front of the backlit mirror, it's like a Japanese kamon. Very tasteful decoration.

It's quite a disappointment really.
Open at 10, buy ticket across the street across the i booth
Get in line around 9:30am
If you want to tour the cathedral, ask for the right ticket. We spent $12 euro and ended up just walk in to see the courtyard. That's all.
1. We waited for an hour (at open) to get in line.
2. The ticket they sold us only for the courtyard. It's nice but not worth 12euro and not much to see.
Unless you joining a tour to see the cathedral, don't bother. Left line is to courtyard, right side is for the cathedral. And you have to have the right ticket.

The clam chowder - Delicious. Smokey and rich.
Haddock fish n chips - Crispy batter, fresh haddock. Good quality. Warning: Unless you are a big eater, don't order the large. Standard is big enough. The potatoes chips also slightly battered but not flavored battered and the batter made harder than crispy. I've had better chips elsewhere so not too impressed.
Grilled lobsters - It was not that special. It's grilled lobster. Didn't wow me but didn't disappoint neither.
Service however was excellent.
