Country Cooking at Jacaranda – Dinner from the Garden

Jacaranda is the restaurant of Finca Serena, located on a large estate in the heart of Mallorca's Pla de Mallorca. When you drive along the narrow country road, the first thing you notice is the silence — no beach music, just cicadas. The place itself has a patio area that is warmly lit in the evenings; tables are spaced apart, keeping the atmosphere private and relaxed. On the plate you quickly notice that much comes from the estate's own cultivation: herbs, salads, sometimes even small, firm tomatoes that aren't perfectly round but are incredibly flavorful. The menu changes regularly. On my visit there was a small welcome bread — a llonguet with smoked butter, sea salt and olivada — which kicked things off and instantly whetted the appetite. Starters included a creamy cauliflower soup with roasted almonds and a fresh tuna tartare with crispy shiso that matched surprisingly well. Main courses like sea bream and beef fillet came with seasonal sides; the quality of the fish was clean and clearly fresh. The style is more understated than ornate: good products, clear preparation, small surprising accents. Service was noticeably professional; they answered courteously in English, Spanish and German. For a calm, enjoyable evening in the countryside, Jacaranda is just right — especially if you value regional products and don't need a show at the table.
