Es Verger
A rustic country restaurant in the mountains of Alaró, famous for its slow-roasted shoulder of lamb cooked in a wood-fired stone oven, serving as a great stop on the castle hike.
A rustic country restaurant located on the mountain road to Alaró Castle. Its signature dish is the shoulder of lamb, slow-roasted in a large wood-fired stone oven; put in the oven in the morning and taken out at noon, the meat is incredibly tender and served in generous portions. The roast goat is also popular, though some older reviews found it a bit dry. You can park here and do the roughly 6 km round-trip hike to Alaró Castle. The mountain road is narrow and rugged, with some sections only wide enough for one car. It is best to go at lunchtime, as older reviews mention that the lamb shoulder sells out later, and there have been reports that they do not accept reservations, so calling ahead to confirm is recommended. Classified as mid-range on Tripadvisor; a car is required to get here.
