Highlights

1. Little Jarana (Palma): Jan’s latest restaurant-of-the-week, a small, intimate spot built around sharing plates and a counter view of the kitchen. Chef-owner Abraham Artigas keeps things Mediterranean with playful international touches, and it is one of those places you will want to book ahead. https://www.littlejarana.com/
2. Mallorca’s Michelin conversation: A quick, friendly breakdown of what the latest guide recognition means on such a small island, and why you do not always need to dress up, even in star territory.
3. Terrae and the rise of zero-waste dining: Jan talks sustainability, “use everything” cooking, and why zero-waste restaurants are so compelling right now.
4. Can March (Manacor) turns 100: A centenary celebration for a long-running family restaurant, plus a newly published book covering the story and recipes (with more languages expected). https://www.canmarch.com/en/
5. Tomeu Caldentey in Sa Coma: Jan shares a packed-room tasting menu experience, the appeal of chef-counter dining, and why some chefs choose freedom over the “golden shackles” of constant awards pressure. https://tomeucaldentey.com/en/
6. Restaurant discovery and marketing: Instagram rabbit holes, why character-led marketing works (including a shout-out to Annabelle’s), and why “book ahead” is the best stress-reducer in Mallorca dining season.
