The story

Voro in Capdepera – Michelin-Starred Modern Spanish Cuisine by Álvaro Salazar

Voro: Álvaro Salazar’s Ode to the Mediterranean

In the quiet coastal town of Canyamel, within the Cap Vermell Grand Hotel, Álvaro Salazar’s Voro holds two Michelin stars for excellent cooking. The name, from Latin vorare — to devour — captures the essence of a kitchen driven by appetite and curiosity. Salazar’s cooking draws equally from the roots of Mallorca and his native Andalusia, presenting modern Spanish cuisine that is both technically precise and deeply personal.

A Tasting Journey in Three Acts

Dinner at Voro unfolds as a single tasting menu, structured around three conceptual movements: Albor (dawn), Zénit (zenith), and Ocaso (sunset). Each phase balances ingredients and technique, moving from awakening sensations to vivid climax and reflective finish. The kitchen’s commitment to “sabrosa, técnica y bajo una concepción estética” — flavourful, technical, and beautiful — is evident in every plate.

The Devoro menu (€290, with wine pairings) showcases seasonal seafood like blue crab, lobster, and scorpion fish, alongside game such as guinea fowl and duck. Dishes evolve from small bites through ravioli, grilled fish, and slow-cooked meats. The kitchen avoids rigid territorial boundaries; instead, it reinterprets recipes from across Spain with a modern, Mediterranean lens.

A Team That Shares the Vision

Salazar leads a close-knit team: Rodolfo Antonelli oversees the dining room, while senior head chef María Cano and head chef Javier Echave execute the kitchen’s precision. Head pastry chef Sela Priego and head baker Miquel Vila contribute to the sweet and savoury balance, and head sommelier Carles Rosselló curates both the Vinívoro and Bacchus pairings. The result is a seamless, unhurried evening that rewards both first-time visitors and seasoned gourmands.

Voro’s Michelin 2 Star recognition honours not only technical mastery but also a coherent philosophy: to celebrate the diversity of Spanish produce while staying true to the island’s landscape. For those seeking a profound, ingredient-led experience in Mallorca, this is a destination in itself.
