Rustic Cafe, Puerto Pollensa 08-2017

Rustic Cafe is traditionally the first (or last) stop along the Puerto Pollensa tapas trail. Some bright person has decreed tapas day to be Thursday rather than what I would have thought is the busier weekend evenings. Maybe it's a ploy to increase business on a weekday. Unfortunately there's only about 3 changing places that participate any longer and many have stopped or closed down. Rustic seems to still keep their hand in, and full respect to them for doing so.

Rustic offers a tapas + drink for €3 on Thursday, whereas a tapas dish alone is €5 otherwise. To be honest I expect the dishes normally are larger than the Thursday single serve tapa, but who knows.

Sitting outside eating the delicious and mildly spicy grilled padron peppers and little vegetable samosas drinking sangria was a warm delight. It is a pretty un-atmospheric location with nothing really else around so you have to really want to go to that place.

Would recommend it for a light start, but be aware there are plenty more to come.
