I always meant to do a write up on places to eat in Santa Ponsa and finally I have managed to put something together, so here it is:-

Places to eat in Santa Ponsa

Duke of York - located on the hill going from Santa Ponsa to The Square

Nice place to eat. Good quality food and reasonable prices. Always busy very popular for their "Roast Dinners".

The Watering Hole - located behind the Pine Wood

This is one of our favourite places to eat. They do everything from baked potatoes to fillet steak. Check out their lovely pool - free for customers.

Scotts - located upstairs Commercial Centre

Great quality food. Basic English Pub Style food - well presented and good size portions.

Maxwells - located top of the hill near The Square

Another favourite, friendly service and excellent food. Slightly dearer than other places but you pay for quality.

Jackies - located by the Roundabout near the Irish Quarter

Always really busy. Good menu loads of choice. Highly recommend the seafood pizza!!

El Ceibo - located opposite Xaloc Apartments

Argentinian steakhouse - always busy - reservations recommended. Fabulous steaks - expensive but great for a special treat.

Tonys Italian Restaurant - located next to The Dubliner in the Irish Quarter

Great value - three course menu del dia. Approx 8 euros including either wine or beer.

Pacos - Located just past the Duke of York going towards The Square

Very popular Spanish restaurant. Great service and good quality food. Their fillet steak is to die for and the mussels in white wine are out of this world.

If I think of any more places I will add them.

Hope you find this helpful.

We like The Rhein - great menu del dia (either 8 or ten euro for 3 course with wine!)but its very busy and if you go in the evening or on a sunday its best to book. Amazing value and something for everyone.
Crocodillos - international food, very good service. The giant satay is yummy!
Chinese next door to crocs (sorry can't remember name) - great banquet
Meson del Rey- Traditional spanish style restaurant with lots of atmosphere

Hi Londongirl,

The Royal Garden was certainly there last June when we were there. Went to the Neil Diamond Show with Mark Richie - he has such a good voice!

Have never eaten there - it always looks busy.

Less than 2 weeks to go now, getting excited!!

Carmel we went to Santa ponsa 5 years running, mainly because of Mark Richie. It was great having a nice meal then watching his show (funny enough his CD is playing at the moment) the staff at the Royal Gardens always remembered returning customers and made you feel very welcome.Had a couple of lock ins there, lucky our appartment was close by. Have a great holiday.

KELLYS ON CORNER

Were in Magaluf (CAla Vinyas) July but spent some days in Santa Ponsa at beach. Tried Kelly on Corner for breakfast one day, brilliant value, liked Santa Ponsa so going next year.

Hi Glenn

We always enjoy Scotts - ate there 2 or 3 times this year. But our favourite has to be The Duke of York, we had some super meals there in June, real quality and good size portions.

A new place we tried was called Zyggis - up the hill going towards the Square just past Hogans Stand. A lovely couple called Colin & Marie have taken it over and we can highly recommend it. Not a massive menu but what they did was lovely and all home cooked. My husband says to mention the fabulous breakfasts they do - he reckons they are the best in Santa Ponsa - and he the fussiest person to please.

We only had one poor meal this time and that was at The Watering Hole - was very disappointed as it used to be lovely there, maybe they have changed chef, but the meal we had was diabolical, we complained but the waitress wasnt interested.

Sadsyndrome - have never eaten at Kellys - we always say we will but never get there. It always looks busy and we have been recommended it many times. A guy at our apartments ate there nearly every night and said it was super. Good choice with Santa Ponsa - you will love it there.

Zyggis was new to us this year Carmel and I would highly recommend - lovely food cooked fresh and very nice people there. Wasn't in the DUke of York this year, but enjoyed it last year too!

We are just back from our first visit to Santa Ponsa and it wont be our last, we stayed at the Costa de Calma end in a private apartment and the area is blessed with an abundance of quality restaurants.
Il Olivo is outstanding - excellent just shading it over La Pergola and then Manolos and Amadeus. We also ate at Royal garden which was very good and the El Jardin but we thought this was a poor restaurant, the steak and wine weren't very good, perhaps we got it on a bad night. We also booked a warerside table at Dionis and although the meal was very good, the service was a bit slow and if you do not have a table on the waters edge then you have to stare over other diners to catch the lovely view, worth a visit though. Zyggis was closed throughout our 2 weeks.
Good quality daytime bar meals at the Glasgow and the Watering Hole.

Hi Ero

Glad you enjoyed SP - like you we prefer the Costa de la Calma end.

There is such a good selection of places to eat there you are spoilt for choice.

If anyone is interested I have put a load of photos together on You Tube - if you search for Santa Ponsa June 2007 you can have a look.

Hope you like them!
