Restaurant Carmen, Palma 08-2017

There weren't many places left open to eat in Palma on a Thursday night around midnight. Most places were closed or the kitchens had closed and so it was nice to find Carmen still serving and actually have a very nice decor instead complete with a graphic of what looked like Claudia Schiffer.

I didn't take a photo but my friend ordered the seafood paella which had excellent strong flavour, good quantities of seafood but unfortunately no crisp pan base. Still a good choice.

Mallorca local picornell mushrooms €9 were my choice and cooked with butter and herbs. The most surprising aspect was the flavour which had almost a slight sour bitterness. It wasn't as unpleasant as that sounds but certainly unexpected and thus didn't enjoy them as much as I would have a standard strong buttery mushroom flavour.

At least it was Mallorquin and that's what one should be trying in Mallorca.
