RESTAURANTE CA N’ESMERALDA
This restaurant has been in operation for a few years. It is situated in a secluded location, hidden away from the main town area of Sant Antoni de Portmany (San Antonio Abad), near the end of Cala de Bou, overlooking San Antonio Bay.
We popped in for a light lunch (do we really have light lunches?) and tried the following.
Pan con aioli
Papas asadas, alioli, hilos de chile y nuestro ingrediente especial (roasted potatoes, aioli, chilli threads, and our special ingredient).
Pata de pulpo (octopus and potatoes)
Tartar de atún (tuna tartar)
Vieiras al carbón (charcoal scallops)
Scallops with a view
As usual, the service from the owner, Esmeralda, was very friendly.
Anyone visiting San Antonio is well-advised to dine at this little gem for an excellent lunch or dinner.
The following was from our meal at an earlier visit.
The interior decor is fabulous, and the view from the terrace to the Mediterranean is beautiful.
You will find food that is excellent and superbly presented. On a hot midweek lunchtime, we tried several tapas and a few main courses, seated in the shaded part of the terrace.
They use top-quality produce, many of which are locally sourced, for all their homemade dishes.
Pimientos de Padrón (Padrón peppers)
Patatas bravas de la casa (homemade fried potatoes and spicy sauce)
La Bomba de Barceloneta (deep-fried meat and potato balls, famous in Barcelona)
Calamares Andaluza con aioli de tinta (Andalusian style squid, with squid ink garlic mayonnaise)
Tiras de pollo crujiente (chicken fingers)
Gambas rojo a la sal (red prawns grilled on salt)
Pulpo a la brassa, patata violeta con salsa de pimentón ahumado (grilled octopus, green potato and smoked pimentón)
Foie escabechado (pickled foie gras)
Hamburguesa wagyu 200g (wagyu burger)
La piña a la brassa falso buba'al ron con helado de coco (grilled pineapple with false rum baba and coconut ice cream)
A very professional service was provided, and I imagined the sunset would have been quite spectacular! Something like this...
A reasonably priced wine list is available.
It is a local's place, but a few in-the-know tourists have now found it.
Highly recommended for everyone who enjoys good food and good vibes!
Closed Tuesday.
