"Pollença's zero-mile omakase — David Rivas cooks his own garden over wood fire, no gas, no waste, recognised in the MICHELIN Guide."
About Terrae
Terrae works a quiet street in Port de Pollença, on the northern edge of Mallorca, with a menu that can change almost daily depending on what the island's small producers and its own garden send in. Chef David Rivas — born in Venezuela, trained in Barcelona and toughened in kitchens in Norway and Hong Kong — built it around a strict zero-mile, zero-waste ethos.
It is recognised by both the MICHELIN and Repsol guides, and it anchors our fine-dining and tasting-menu coverage on the island for sustainable cooking done at a serious level.
The Kitchen
The kitchen cooks almost entirely over wood fire — no gas — and without chemicals or additives. What the garden does not grow comes from small island producers, and the format is an à la carte plus two omakase menus: a full eight-step progression and a shorter half-omakase, each built around the grill and paired, if you wish, with Mallorcan wines.
Rivas often finishes plates at the table and explains them as he goes, so the meal is as much a conversation about the island's produce as a tasting menu.
The Room
The room is relaxed and unpretentious, centred on the open wood-fired kitchen so the cooking is part of the atmosphere. It is a small operation — sustainability runs through the service as much as the food — and the mood is warm rather than formal.
It opens Thursday to Sunday for dinner only, so plan around a short week and book ahead.
Not for
Not for a casual walk-in or a quick lunch — it opens only Thursday to Sunday for dinner and is built around a booked-ahead, fire-led omakase.
