TWO NEW MICHELIN STARS FOR LOCAL MALLORCAN CHEFS

NOW NINE MICHELIN STAR RESTAURANTS ON THE ISLAND

Mallorca is continuing to be recognised for its culinary excellence and this month has picked up two new Michelin stars for the island.  The new Michelin stars were awarded to local chefs, Santi Taura for his DINS restaurant within the boutique hotel El Llorenç Parc de la Mar in Palma, and father and son Benet and Jaume Vicens of Béns d'Avall restaurant in Soller/Deia.  In addition, the Michelin star chef, Andreu Genestra, of Hotel Predi Son Jaumell in Capdepera, was also awarded a green Michelin star for his extreme care towards sustainability.

Marc Fosh, one of the island's veteran Michelin star chefs who first received a Michelin star 18 years ago, comments on the island's changing gastronomy scene; “When I first won a Michelin star in 2002 I was one of several foreign chefs on the island with this award, now local Mallorcan chefs are really coming to the fore bringing their own island flair and producing amazing food with local produce”.
