Merchants Portals in Mallorca seamlessly blends creativity and culinary mastery with coastal charm. Located at the picturesque Portals Nous beach, guests can indulge in an all-day dining experience along the breathtaking Mediterranean coastline at the newly opened The Donna Hotel. This marks the second Merchants venue, continuing the legacy of Palma’s iconic Palacio Can Marques.
Founded on the principle of laborious dedication to sourcing the perfect beef, Merchants aims to offer the best steak restaurant on the island of Mallorca. This unwavering commitment is reflected in menus that emphasise the finest local ingredients, continually striving for excellence.
Positioned in the southwest of the island, just a 10-minute drive from Palma, Portals Nous is a tranquil part of the Island, offering guests proximity to some of the most beautiful beaches.
All-Day Dining in the Heart of the Mediterranean at Merchants Portals
Renowned as the best luxury steakhouse in Spain, Merchants Portals provides a sophisticated dining experience curated by Group Executive Chef Fernando Coradazzi. The modern Mediterranean-inspired menu features delectable breakfast dishes, exquisite seafood, and the finest cuts of meat, all prepared to perfection against the stunning backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea.
The restaurant overlooks the serene Portals Nous beach, the former site of the Iberostar Grand Portals Nous. Following exciting transformations, the distinctively designed Marcel Wanders hotel is now The Donna Portals, with The Merchants by the Sea serving as the hotel’s glamorous dining establishment.
Fans of The Merchants in Palma will appreciate its new seaside counterpart, boasting gorgeous views from a spacious terrace. The indoor dining room, with its curvy ceiling and walls, offers an intimate and cozy atmosphere despite its generous size. An open kitchen allows diners to observe the chefs at work, enhancing the overall dining experience.
More than just its smart décor and prime location, The Merchants by the Sea delivers a gastronomic journey with a seasonal menu that highlights expertly cooked, top-quality ingredients. Specialising in premium beef and seafood, the restaurant caters to those craving steak and lobster or a shared tower of mixed seafood, all accompanied by a stunning sea view.
Upon arrival, guests are greeted by one of the charming hostesses. Opting for an indoor dinner provides a view of the kitchen, where the service team operates with impressive efficiency, especially considering the restaurant’s recent opening.
The starter selection includes dishes such as perfectly cooked scallops paired with melon, cecina, nori powder, and mustard seeds, and seared tuna with a Niçoise garnish and tonnato sauce.
For the main course, the beef steaks are a highlight, with options like fillet and ribeye. A variety of sauces and sides are available, though the fillet steak’s flavour stands out remarkably on its own. This could easily be the finest steak in Mallorca.
The dessert menu, along with a cheese selection, offers indulgent options. Highly recommended is the ‘Our Opera,’ a delightful combination of chocolate, almond, and coffee.
The Merchants features an impressive selection of local, Spanish, and international wines. Thanks to the Coravin wine-preservation system, guests can enjoy fine wines by the glass.
The Merchants by the Sea is set to become one of Mallorca’s summer hotspots. To ensure a table, booking in advance is highly recommended.
