Test Kitchen: Spain

If you’ve stayed with us at the inn you already know that food is our love language.

We travel over the winter to rest and recharge and usually find ourselves in southern Spain or the Balearics. Its the slow season and we love it! Truth: we’re always looking for our Saugatuck…in Spain. Great food, warm people, beautiful views, water nearby. Its like spring in Saugatuck. Lovely, relaxed, easy. The trees are budding, the gardens waking, and you can get a table at your favorite restaurant.

Food is such a pleasure, and it’s even better when you sit down at a table and have a dish that makes you say wow! Out loud! ..or in your head. Especially when you’re not expecting it. On a hike out from Soller to Biniarix on Mallorca we stopped for lunch and ordered the two mains on the menu (it was January) and had Lentil Soup and Croute au Fromage (Swiss chef). The soup was very good but the Croute au Fromage…WOW…hints of fondue and, as with many dishes in Spain, an egg on top! Simple ingredients combined perfectly! Definitely the heart of our breakfast entre rotation! It’s in.

We hope you feel that same pleasure when you sit down at our table at the inn as we felt that day in Mallorca! We look forward to having you stay and enjoy!
