Every now and again you come across a reasonable menu del dia location and yesterday was one of those. Don't expect gourmet, don't expect cloth napkins, cut glass, waiters in uniform or chefs with pretentions and you will probably be satisfied. We are lucky in Mallorca that across the island you can usually find somewhere for a cheap but wholesome lunch for between 7 and 10€. Cafeteria Romero in Port de Pollensa is one of those. When searching these places out you have to be willing to take a bit of a chance and dive straight in and probably 6 out of 10 times you will be happy with your choice. Out of the other 4 it generally works out to 2 that are passable when you are there and passable the next time you are looking for lunch and the final 2 you just wish you could get out of. But that's the fun of menu del dia.
Yesterdays was in the top 6 categoray, nothing to write home about but good honest fare at 8.50€ and one that you would try again. The fish soup was very tasty, the chuleta was a good size and the chips home made and OK along with a little side salad, and the home made natillas tasted as it should even if it was a bit lumpy. Served with fresh bread, nice olives, wine and gaseosa it was a satisfying lunch after a morning of running around, all in all good value at 9.50€ including a coffee. I am not sure if this was a good day here or a normal one, but based on my lunch it is a recommended stop and you can find it just down the second left as you come in to the Port from Palma.
