What is Romani Restaurant and where is it located?

Romaní Restaurant is part of Finca Son Roig, a historic Mallorcan estate located in the municipality of Porreres, in the heart of the Pla de Mallorca. Forty minutes from Palma and just a few kilometres from Felanitx and Campos, the estate enjoys a peaceful rural setting where almond trees, vineyards and its own vegetable garden shape the landscape throughout the seasons.

The restaurant is not simply a separate venue that happens to share an address with a hotel. It is an organic part of the estate, and this connection can be felt from the moment you arrive: the same path that leads to the rooms takes you to the terrace where dinner is served, while the vegetable garden visible from the pool is the very same one that supplies ingredients for the menu.

Seasonal cuisine: what does it mean in practice?

The term "seasonal cuisine" is used so often that it has lost some of its meaning. At Romaní, however, it is worth clarifying: it means that the menu changes according to what the garden and local producers in Porreres have available at each time of year.

Spring brings broad beans, peas and the season's first vegetables. In summer, tomatoes, peppers and aubergines take centre stage. Autumn brings mushrooms, produce from the grape harvest and the first new olive oils from the region. In winter, the cuisine becomes richer, more comforting and more deeply rooted in the traditions of inland Mallorca.

This means that the menu served in July is not the same as the one offered in October. And for diners who value a genuine connection between what they eat and the place they are visiting, that is exactly the point.

From garden to plate: the connection with Finca Son Roig

Son Roig's own vegetable garden supplies the restaurant with vegetables grown just metres from the kitchen. This is more than an anecdotal detail: it is at the heart of much of the menu. Each morning, the chef knows what is available in the garden, and that information helps determine what reaches the table that evening.

This way of working requires more planning and flexibility than cooking with ingredients from standard suppliers. But the difference can be tasted on the plate: a freshness and honesty of flavour that is difficult to achieve any other way.

Sa Cabana: wines from the estate

A meal at Romaní has a natural pairing: the wines of Sa Cabana, Finca Son Roig's own winery. The grapes are grown in the estate's vineyards and the wines are produced in the winery, which takes its name from one of the historic buildings on the property.

Sa Cabana produces wines that reflect the terroir of the Pla de Mallorca: its limestone soils, dry inland climate and the island's native grape varieties. Ordering a glass of Sa Cabana at Romaní is more than simply choosing a wine: it completes the connection between the land visible from the terrace and what is in your glass.

Where to eat in Porreres: Romaní as a local reference

Porreres offers honest, unpretentious cuisine that remains true to the character of the village. But for those looking for a more complete gastronomic experience in the Porreres area, Romaní Restaurant is a local reference.

Not because it is the most expensive or the most extravagant, but because it offers something difficult to find for many kilometres around: a cuisine with a story of its own, supported by the estate that surrounds it and by a region with a clear gastronomic identity.

Booking a table at Romaní Restaurant

Romaní Restaurant is open to both guests of Finca Son Roig and outside visitors. Given its limited capacity and growing demand, especially during high season, booking in advance is recommended.

The complete experience, however, goes beyond the table. Arriving early to stroll through the estate's gardens, visit the Sa Cabana winery and see the vegetable garden before sitting down to eat adds a dimension to the restaurant that no gastronomic guide can fully capture.

Because Romaní does not begin at the restaurant door. It begins in the land.
