Christmas may be quieter this year, but there are still plenty of excellent restaurants offering suitably distanced pre-Christmas parties. The Majorca Daily Bulletin are intent on ensuring you are aware of who is still open for business. Certainly, there has never been more enthusiastic service than post lockdown. Moreover, as restaurateurs recognise that we the clients have suffered financial loss as well as themselves, there have never been such quality menus now on offer at rock bottom prices.
