After Patio@49, there was a couple of blanks fired at Tapas y Punto who had no interest in serving us even though others were waiting for food, and Neptuno who had just closed for the evening. The tail of the trail had La Cabaña and Imperial Bar & Tapas but Google Maps suggested both had or were about to close. Luckily in between there was Norai Pinxtos & Wine Bar which is open until 4am including the kitchen open late. How opportune and generous of them.
It was lucky because we were quite hungry after much sangria but little food and this place ended up being my favourite of the lot. The tapas or racion list has many interesting items, the sangria is good quality, there's a nice vibe of people eating inside and outside, they have sports showing on a TV next to the bar, and they are along the promenade with still reasonable prices. It doesn't get better in Puerto Pollensa (or perhaps anywhere in Mallorca).
- Tempura vegetal €9 - thicker than usual tempura batter with no seasoning in the batter so using the sauces brought the items to life;
- Pulpo a la Gallega €14 - I don't usually like Galician-style octopus but this was a good one with soft juicy octopus and potato drinking up the octopus liquor;
- Alitas de pollo con salsa teriyaki €6 - teriyaki chicken wings definitely weren't my idea in a Spanish place but tasted good;
- Patatas Bravas €5.5 - we were hankering for some of these Spanish classics and they didn't disappoint especially served with a moderately hot chilli sauce;
- Albondigas €6 - the meatballs were full of flavour and tenderness. It would have been great to get some additional bread to mop up the sauce with.
They also have some nice sounding burgers and other dishes available too. This would easily be my recommendation for tapas, food, drink and general enjoyment to anyone visiting Puerto Pollensa.
