The story

Daica, Inca – Michelin-Recommended Mallorcan Fine Dining in Llubí

In the heart of Llubí, a quiet town just outside Inca, Daica occupies a traditional Mallorcan townhouse where stone walls hold the warmth of the kitchen. Chef Cati Pieras leads a proposal that is, in her own words, "cocina de cerca" – cooking from close by. This means local produce, Balearic recipes, and technique that respects rather than overrides.

The menu draws on the island's pantry: seasonal vegetables from nearby huertos, meats and seafood sourced with care. Traditional Mallorcan dishes are reworked with precision, but the soul remains recognisable – slow-cooked, intense flavours that speak of the place. The dining room, calm and unhurried, feels like a refuge from the everyday.

Daica's commitment to honest cooking earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a sign of consistent quality and a clear identity. It is not a restaurant that shouts; rather, it lets the product and the craft do the talking.

For those who wish to linger, Daica also offers interior tourism – a room to stay, turning dinner into a longer escape into the Mallorcan countryside. Gift packs combine tasting menus with accommodation, making it easy to share the experience.

In Llubí, Daica is a reminder that the best Mallorcan cuisine often comes from the quiet corners, where tradition meets a steady, modern hand.
