Jockey Club - Sant Joan de Labritja

Certainly not a thouroughbred racehorse experience. We were a party of 6, 4 had pasta, 1 burger and unfortunately for me I did mixed grill fish platter, which you’d sort of think should be one of their best dishes? We ordered some tapas starters, but they just brought everything in one go, which was annoying. The pasta seemed to get best marks, but the burger was one to avoid and I don’t think the chef knew how to grill fish, it was seared really hard on the outside, but the fish in the middle was watery and uncooked. (I don’t even want to think too long about the scallops, tried half of one and ditched the others they were a night over the bog waiting to happen) It was eye wateringly expensive tipping in over 400 euros and as we didn’t drink wine, just beers and soft drinks, I’d say it was shocking value. I’d probably give it less marks, but the staff were good and the others liked their pasta. Taxis from Salines are also a Odín in the arse and a total lottery! Probably a first and last for me and I don’t think I’d bother going again.

Lovely beach restaurant, good value for money. Located on las Salinas beach, can be very crowded so book in advance. Very nice and friendly staff, great food.

Ordered a 27 euros burger expecting a delicious juicy one, instead it was a dry and chewy one one that comes from a box of frozen burgers bought from the supermarket. The surrounding beach is beautiful and they are lucky to have a restaurant there but they are clearly taking advantage of the fact that there are no other restaurants nearby. Please do not support these kind of businesses.

Jockey Club is an institution great setting and good food. Sadly often not as relaxed and friendly as it used to be. The vibe is still there sometimes, close to sundown, but more often than not it feels impersonal, snobbish, a money machine. Expensive.

Not sure what else you’d want from a beach bar restaurant. Lovely food, good service and an amazing view of the sea. Prices might seem expensive but the food is good and worth it. This year I thought the food was better and overall we loved it. Would recommend the Buratta!
