Maca de Castro

Maca de Castro is a Michelin-starred restaurant in Port d’Alcúdia, northern Mallorca, led by Chef Maca de Castro — one of the most respected and distinctive culinary voices on the island and one of Spain’s most celebrated female chefs. The restaurant presents a contemporary and deeply personal interpretation of Mallorcan cuisine, rooted in De Castro’s intimate knowledge of the island’s agricultural and maritime identity and her long-established relationships with the local farmers, fishermen, and producers who supply her kitchen with the finest seasonal ingredients the north of the island provides. The tasting menu is conceived as a narrative of Mallorca in the current season — vegetables from Pollença and the Tramuntana foothills, fish from Alcúdia Bay, game from the interior, and the herbs and citrus that characterize the island’s distinctive aromatic profile all appear in compositions of elegance and depth. De Castro’s cooking style combines technical confidence with a naturalness and generosity of spirit that reflects her character and her deep affection for the island’s culinary traditions. Presentations are beautiful without being theatrical, and flavors are vivid and honest. The relaxed and contemporary dining room creates an inviting and unpretentious atmosphere. Service is warm and attentive. The wine program features a strong selection of Mallorcan and broader Spanish bottles carefully chosen to complement the seasonal character of the food. Maca de Castro is essential for any serious exploration of Mallorca’s fine dining landscape.
