The cuisine at Luna 36

In this beautiful town, in the middle of Sierra de Tramuntana is Restaurante Luna 36. This location is placed 200 meters from the square on direction Biniaraix and is a small restaurant, very old, built in 1870 and started as an old chocolate factory. Now they make a delicious and wonderful food in a modern Spanish/Mediterranean cuisine by professionals who love their craft and their place in Soller.

This seasonal restaurant is owned by Danish woman Helle Alexandersen (a trained chef) and her Argentinian/Italian business partner Claudio Bernaschi, who both run the bussines. Helle and Claudio have worked together in restaurant projects for many years and both love Soller and all that it has to offer. Their partnership that strated in 2015 has brought this restaurant in the top of the list of many tourists and not only.

Their Chef – Hector is a star who returns to the training ground of the masters at San Sebastian School of Gastronomy every winter to perfect his skills. For the winter course this year he is specialising in desserts and won the scholarship to take this training because of his outstanding qualifications from last years work.

Hector is a fine Chef who is more than content to use his love of cooking and his special talents for the guests of Luna 36. As I sayd above, the food in this restaurant is mainly Mediterranean and based on prime fresh local produce. The menu includes also tapas, salads and starters, main courses, cheese and desserts. Organic Mallorcan extra virgin olive oil from Tianna Negre accompanies the bread, olives and dip.

Here you have an example with several dishes (these may be subject to change):

• Ceviche with lemons from Sóller, mango and red onions
• Scallops with purée of cauliflower and cous cous of romanesco
• Presa Iberica with apricots, celery, and almonds
• Cheeseboard with home-made chutney, nuts and grapes, and stone-age bread (gluten-free).
• Lemon sorbet with cava or vodka
•  Traditional crème brûlée

The team at Luna 36 have a vision to bring a fine dining experience into their location. Frequent menu changes are envisaged allowing the chef to use the best seasonal produce available. If you’re in town and you want to have an exceptional meal, the restaurant is open from dinner on Monday to dinner on Saturday – closed all day Sunday and Monday at lunchtime. Lluna 36 looks forward to welcoming you to the heart of the city of Soller to enjoy food, wine and service at its very best.
