The story

Andreu Genestra: Michelin-Starred Mediterranean Cuisine in s'Arenal, Mallorca

A Credo of Proximity and the Mediterranean

At Andreu Genestra, the kitchen is rooted in the fields that surround it. The restaurant’s own garden lies just steps from the dining room, supplying the produce that defines the cooking. This relationship with the land, combined with local Mallorcan producers, sets the stage for a focused, sincere approach to haute cuisine.

The menu philosophy is built around the concept of "Mediterranean" – a term that here means more than geography. It represents a commitment to the island's most authentic flavors, native ingredients, and the aromatic traditions of the broader Mediterranean basin. The result is a single, cohesive experience expressed through three distinct tasting menus, all designed to harmonize the raw with the refined.

The Tasting Menu Experience

Guests choose from the Mediterranean menu, the more expansive Mediterranean Extrem, or the plant-based Mediterranean Verde. Each is a multi-course progression that can be paired with a wine flight and a selection of artisanal Spanish cheeses. The restaurant recommends arriving early for the Mediterranean Extrem to savor its full length. This is a kitchen that lets the garden and the sea speak for themselves, refined by sophisticated technique – a balance that has earned it a Michelin star.

Chef and Setting

Entering its second decade, the project of chef Andreu Genestra has matured into something bolder and more elegant. His cooking, as described by the team, is an invitation to stroll the shores of the Mediterranean, tasting its history and its future. The dining room, set within the Hotel Zoëtry Mallorca, is smart and serene, with outdoor seating for those who want to feel the island air.
