Autumn arrives with exciting news in the heart of the Tramuntana: El Vasco presents its new 2025 menu, featuring one of the Basque Country’s most beloved traditions, the spoon dishes.
If you’re a fan of authentic Basque comfort food, this is your moment. These hearty stews will be available from Friday to Sunday, inviting diners to slow down, share a meal, and savour the warmth of northern cooking.
Spoon dishes in Mallorca: the newest reason to visit El Vasco
Since its opening in Bunyola, El Vasco has become a must-visit spot for lovers of grilled cuisine, fine wine, and Basque tradition. With this new addition, the restaurant expands its culinary offering with four comforting dishes that bring the essence of Euskadi straight to Mallorca:
Red beans with all the trimmings
A true Basque classic. Slow-cooked red beans served with chorizo, blood sausage, pork belly, and piparras — the ultimate symbol of the north’s hearty gastronomy. Rich, rustic, and perfect for cooler days.
Chickpeas with lobster
A refined stew that unites the sea and the land. The chickpeas soak up the deep, briny flavour of the lobster, creating a silky and aromatic dish. Traditional at heart, but with El Vasco’s elegant touch.
Leek and potato cream with truffle
A modern take on a winter favourite. Smooth and aromatic, this porrusalda-inspired soup combines leek, potato, and truffle in perfect harmony, an ideal starter or a light meal in itself.
Marmitako
The fishermen’s stew par excellence. Tuna, potatoes, and broth come together in a dish that warms the soul. Made the traditional way, using seasonal ingredients and plenty of love.
More than a restaurant: a Basque experience in the Tramuntana
At El Vasco, the essence remains the same: a Josper grill burning year-round, aged meats, fresh fish, signature pintxos, and homemade desserts like the Basque cheesecake or Goxua Mallorquín.
Its location, at the foot of the Serra de Tramuntana, makes it the perfect spot to enjoy both nature and Basque cuisine in one unforgettable experience.
Now, weekends at El Vasco get even better with these spoon dishes, the perfect excuse to gather friends around the table, share a bottle of Rioja or Ribera, and let time slow down.
