We also had the most delicious cheesecake I’ve ever eaten – with fig jam. I’m assured the octopus was delicious, although I cannot bring myself to eat it these days, after watching My Octopus Teacher on Netflix.

Here are pictures of just some of what we enjoyed. Six of us sat down to lunch at Café Miró, sharing dishes placed in the centre of the table. I love the idea that you can share several dishes, because it can be difficult to choose when faced with a menu of so many temptations.

It’s a style of eating that, for me, epitomises the Mediterranean way of life. But this year’s menu feels much more Mediterranean and is more family-style this means dishes in the middle of the table to share (although you don’t have to!). My previous lunch at Café Miró was quite a while pre-pandemic what we ate with friends was international fare. You can almost imagine him strolling in to take up his brushes. And, as an aside, if you’ve never visited the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró in Palma, it’s well worth going – for the chance to see the late artist’s studio on his adopted island. But if it’s your first visit to La Residencia, don’t miss the opportunity to check out the interior too, where you’ll find 33 original works by the Barcelona-born painter, sculptor, and ceramicist Joan Miró on display. The terrace offers gorgeous views and a relaxed ambience in which to enjoy dishes from Café Miró’s new menu.
