The chef
Pedro G Martin
Chef Pedro G Martin helms the kitchen at 365 Restaurante, where his approach centers on sustainable sourcing and showcasing the produce grown directly on the Son Brull estate. His culinary philosophy leans heavily on Mediterranean terroir, building menus around what the land provides each season rather than imposing a rigid signature style. Martin's work reflects a commitment to letting ingredients speak with minimal interference, whether composing the vegetarian tasting progression or working with locally caught fish and estate-raised proteins. His focus remains on consistency and integrity rather than theatrical presentation, aligning with the property's farm-to-table ethos.
The Insider Compass
Four dimensions, each assessed independently against the same criteria everywhere we rate.
Plate
The kitchen works with a clear farm-to-fork philosophy, drawing heavily from Son Brull's own estate for seasonal vegetables, herbs, and olive oil that anchor both the standard and vegetarian tasting menus. Execution is solid and technique-driven—expect careful attention to texture and balance—though some guests find the compositions play it safer than the setting might suggest. Standouts include the lamb and swordfish preparations, while the vegetarian progression often surprises with its depth and creativity, particularly in how the brigade coaxes umami from plant-based ingredients.
Vibe
IntimateThe atmosphere strikes a balance between monastery serenity and hotel sophistication, with exposed stone walls and original olive presses lending historical gravitas to the dining room. In warmer months, the terrace overlooking olive groves and vineyards becomes the prized seating, offering a tranquil, romantic backdrop that feels worlds away from coastal bustle. The energy remains hushed and refined throughout service, attracting a crowd that skews toward couples celebrating special occasions and discerning hotel guests seeking an elevated evening.
Service
The brigade operates with polish and attentiveness, demonstrating strong product knowledge when discussing wine pairings and the provenance of estate ingredients. Service pacing is generally well-coordinated across multiple courses, though some diners note the team can occasionally feel stretched during peak service. The hospitality extends beyond the table—staff happily accommodate pre-dinner drinks by the pool and adjust menus for dietary preferences with genuine care rather than grudging obligation.
Setting
The restored monastery architecture provides an arresting backdrop, with massive stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and original 18th-century olive presses still commanding presence in the bar area. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors blur the boundary between dining room and manicured gardens, framing views of estate vineyards and the Tramuntana foothills beyond. The interior design honors the building's Jesuit heritage while layering in contemporary comfort—linen-draped tables, understated lighting, and thoughtful details that feel curated rather than contrived.
These four dimensions are a handful of the attributes we review. The Insider Rating also draws on research the compass does not display — among them the wine programme, the size and quality of the cellar, the location, and how long the house has operated. It is not an average of the scores above.
