"Sa Fonda is located on a beautiful square in the heart of Fornells. We had a table for 10 persons on the terrace next to the harbor. The food was really amazing and affordable. Sea bass, various meats, all very tasty and cooked to perfection. Great place for couples and families."

"We had a lovely meal here, mussels to start and a seafood paella. The paella had so much seafood in it, we were really impressed. The desserts were highlights with the pomada sorbet and the almond coffee cake, delicious!!"

"It’s a great restaurant by the sea and we had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and the servers were nice. We got mussels, the seafood paella, and couple desserts. The star of the night was paella. The rice was packed with flavour and they didn’t skimp out on the seafood. There were shrimps, scallops, squid, and small lobster pieces throughout the rice and they were delicious. If you get anything here, come with friends and eat the paella!"

"Stop scrolling and get into this place. Order the seafood paella, and a bottle of Menorca white wine (if you don’t know which one, just ask the superbly friendly staff). Eat the whole thing, or don’t..drink the bottle with friends. You will have a fantastic time here. Warm, friendly, and Menorcan. Tell them I sent you."
