Barlovento Port d'Andratx: Down by the Sea

With panoramic views across the glittering waters of Port d’Andratx, Barlovento has long made a name of itself in Mallorca’s southwest. Just a few steps from the marina, the family-run restaurant blends the proximity to the sea with a passion for traditional Mediterranean cuisine. It’s the kind of place where the sea breeze pairs with the scent of simmering saffron.

The highlight of the menu is undoubtedly the arroz. From rich seafood paellas to hearty black rice with cuttlefish, each dish is slow-cooked and generously portioned. Meant to be savored with time and company. Starters such as carpaccio de gamba roja or mussels set the tone, while the daily catch often makes a guest appearance straight from the nearby boats. And last but not least, Barlovento is one of the restaurants on Mallorca where you get a real delicious Cardenal de Lloseta.

Dining out isn’t just about food, it’s about moments. The spacious terrace fills up with groups of friends clinking glasses, couples watching the sunset, and families gathering around shared dishes. There’s a warm, unhurried rhythm here. Hence Barlovento is a popular backdrop for celebrations, reunions, or simply a long lunch that stretches into the evening.

For more than 50 years, Barlovento has grown with the port while staying true to its roots. Many of the recipes come from Pep’s mother, and you can taste that legacy. The name of the restaurant refers to the windward side of a boat. However, Barlovento remains refreshingly grounded in a town known for luxury and yachts. A restaurant where tradition, flavor, and friendship meet by the sea.
