The opening weekend will begin on Friday 28th March in Peguera, Cala Fornells, Cas Català, Bendinat, Illetes, Portals Nous, and Costa d’en Blanes.

The closing weekend from 11th to 13th April will take place in Palmanova, Magaluf, Sol de Mallorca, Son Ferrer, and Son Caliu.

La Mostra de Calvià will see over 45 local restaurants welcoming locals and visitors alike to sample their finest dishes with discounts of at least 20% on specially curated menus across the entire weekend. Restaurants will offer one of three different menus: Menú Mostra Calvià; Menú Mostra del día; or Menú Gastro Calvià.

The Menú Mostra Calvià is a full set menu with starter, main, dessert and drink priced at either €18, €22 or €35, as long as this price represents at least a 20% discount on the full price. The Menú Mostra del día will be a set menu featuring a main, dessert and drink priced at €14 or €17 with the same stipulation of a 20% full price discount applying. Finally, the Menú Gastro Calvià will be an à la carte or taster menu in which the establishment will offer a range of their finest dishes for diners. These menus may also include a wine pairing and will be priced from at least €50 per head yet still with a 20% discount from the menu price outside of the gastro festival.

These specially curated menus highlight traditional Mallorcan cooking as well as showcase more avant-garde culinary creations from across the region. The menus will also cater to dietary requirements, offering vegan and vegetarian options, as well as gluten-free menus, and children’s menus for foodie families enjoying the festivities.
