Bella Verde Jardin Gastronómico is a standout vegan restaurant nestled in the charming town of Pollenca, Illes Balears. Offering a vibrant and inventive plant-based dining experience, this gem redefines what vegan cuisine can be—far beyond the usual expectations. From the moment you step onto Carrer de les Monges, 14, the inviting ambiance of the lush terrace, dotted with greenery and bathed in Mediterranean sunlight, sets the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal.
The menu is a passionate celebration of fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients that burst with flavor and creativity. Diners rave about the roasted cauliflower starter—a dish that perfectly balances smokiness and tenderness, delivering layers of savory complexity that surprise and delight with every bite. Another highlight is the Meloso, a risotto-like dish enhanced with aromatic rosemary twigs that infuses each mouthful with a subtle pine fragrance, elevating the whole taste experience.
The artistry continues in their desserts, with a chocolate mousse that's been described as “a banger” — rich, silky, and decadently smooth, without a trace of dairy. Each plate is thoughtfully crafted, pushing boundaries with clever combinations and textures that keep you eagerly anticipating the next dish. It’s clear that the culinary team pours immense creativity and care into every element of the menu.
Beyond the food, what truly sets Bella Verde apart is the holistic dining experience. The staff are consistently praised for their warmth and attentiveness, making guests feel genuinely valued and welcomed.

Whether you're a dedicated vegan, a lactose-intolerant diner, or simply a curious foodie, Bella Verde promises a vibrant adventure for your palate. It’s a place where flavors are heightened by the stunning decor and peaceful, leafy surroundings of its patio—creating a feast for all senses. Customers have called it the best meal of their holiday, an exceptional find in Mallorca that raises the bar for plant-based dining.
While some may note that prices lean towards the higher side, the culinary innovation and quality ingredients justify every euro spent. This isn’t fast, impersonal vegan fare—it’s a luxury garden of gastronomic delights that invites you to slow down, savor, and truly experience the artistry behind each dish.
For anyone visiting Pollenca or exploring Mallorca’s vegan scene, Bella Verde Jardin Gastronómico is a must-visit destination. Prepare to leave not only satisfied but inspired by the sheer creativity and passion infused in every plate.

Came for a snack, ended up with a 3-course-dinner-menu The food was soooo good. Super savory, creative, something new... It might be a bit more pricy, but therefore you don't just get falafel (nothing against them though), salad, pasta arrabiata or a burger where there's accidently cheese on it. The food is different and I enjoyed every bite. Cauliflower, grilled verduras and the lemon curd - all three of them highly recommended. I came alone without reservation, got welcomed super friendly and luckily there's was one free spot. I can see though why it would be better to make a reservation.

Delicious! Up to it's reputation! The place is fully vegan / plant-based and is as flavourful as it is delightful on the eyes. I had the roasted cauliflower as a starter, which was mind-blowing of balanced flavours. Then the Meloso, kind of a risotto. Delicious, with a great use of rosemary small branches on top. Desert was a banger with the chocolate mousse. The patio and decoration are lovely. Definitely recommend! Don't forget to book!

Stunning environment, brilliant and helpful staff, the head chef was wonderful and came to talk with us after I purchased his cookbook. The food was unreal, I went with three non vegans and they were all very impressed! We shared all the small plates and all the desserts so we tried as much as possible. My favourite meal of the holiday.

I recently visited this vegan restaurant and was absolutely amazed by the experience. Every dish felt original and carefully thought out, you can really taste the creativity in their recipes. They use fresh, local ingredients that reflect the season, which gives everything a vibrant and authentic flavor. The atmosphere is just as special as the food. The terrace is surrounded by trees and plants, creating a peaceful, cozy feeling that makes you want to stay for hours. The beautiful wooden tables and natural decor make it feel like a little green oasis in Puerto de Pollença. It’s the perfect place for anyone who loves good food, sustainability, and a warm, welcoming vibe. Can’t wait to come back!

As a lactose intolerant vegetarian, finding food that I can eat abroad is a struggle. So the joy of visiting Bella Verde and being able to eat everything on the menu was just a delight. The staff are charming and so attentive. The food was beyond amazing. The scenery was beautiful. The best meal I’ve had in Port de Pollensa, the best meal I have had in a very long time.
