There are places that never go out of style; they simply know how to reinvent themselves. Gran Café 1919, right on the seafront promenade of Puerto de Pollensa, is one of them: an icon with a quarter of a century of history that is embarking on a new phase under the guidance of Grupo Boulevard. More than just a makeover, what has been achieved here is the transformation of a historic café into a contemporary bistro, designed to accompany diners from their first coffee in the morning to their last drink at night.

The day at Gran Café 1919 begins with the aroma of freshly ground coffee and crispy artisan toast. Fluffy pancakes, colourful Instagram-worthy smoothies and healthy bowls make breakfast here almost a ritual. Perfect for starting the day or for a relaxed brunch with sea views.

A menu that never takes a break

The best thing about Gran Café 1919 is that it adapts to the diner's schedule. Time to eat? Dishes that travel between the local and the global: garlic prawns with a taste of Mallorcan summer, spicy sweet potatoes with a cosmopolitan touch, or a fresh ceviche that cries out for a glass of chilled white wine.

For dinner, the most adventurous part of the menu comes into play: tatakis, nigiris, tartares... along with some hits that never fail, such as the juicy smash burger, cacio e pepe pasta with white and black truffle cream, or a creamy rice dish with Iberian pork and black truffle that makes the trip to Puerto de Pollensa well worth it.

The offer is rounded off with a wine list featuring over 100 selections: from characterful Mallorcan wines to international gems. Prefer cocktails? Here you'll find a wide variety of well-executed classics: Negroni, Dry Martini, Espresso Martini... and refreshing versions such as the Mallorcan Mojito or the Moët & Chandon Garden Spritz, perfect for sipping on the terrace at sunset.

A classic that looks to the future

The space has also changed, and significantly so. The new Gran Café 1919 is warm, elegant and Mediterranean through and through: fine woods, integrated vegetation, enveloping lighting and those details that make you want to linger over your meal without looking at your watch.

With 25 years of history behind it, Gran Café 1919 continues to demonstrate its incredible ability to reinvent itself without losing its essence. It remains that meeting point in Puerto de Pollensa, but now it has become an essential foodie destination where everything flows: breakfasts, lunches, dinners, wines, cocktails and long after-dinner conversations. A place to return to again and again.
