One of the best places to eat in Cala Bona. Very friendly staff who warned us of a long wait for food when we arrived but the food was worth waiting for. A mixed menu of international foods including paella and curry. Definitely worth a return visit!

Janet and johns is a great place to eat. Food is great, well cooked and well presented. We enjoyed several full breakfasts and 4 evening meals there. All staff were polite and cheerful and made you feel really welcome. It’s in a great spot on the harbour and is so relaxing. If you visit this fab restaurant please try the apple crumble and custard it is the best. We will certainly return next year when we are back in Cala Bona

Breakfast is great value for money and very tasty. Coffee was the best I had whilst on Cala Bona. Visited for an evening meal and I can honestly say the burger was fantastic. Staff are lovely and very welcoming. Would highly recommend, especially if you like to people watch. Great spot.

Excellent restaurant where we had the BEST paella, especially cooked with seafood but no meat. Lorne (John) and Yoli (and Fran) are fantastic hosts and happy to share local information. Absolutely wonderful!

Our first time in Cala Bona. Was recommend this restaurant. Sat looking over the harbour. We started with prawn cocktail which were king prawns and plenty of them. Fillet steak was incredible. Service spot on so friendly.

This is a fabulous restaurant in Cala Bona. The food was excellent. I had the full sea bass with tartare sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The staff are very attentive and very efficient. The view from the restaurant out over Cala Bona harbour with the sun setting on the far hills is magical. If you want a table outside overlooking the harbour, you have to book it in advance. Really worth a visit. Can't wait to visit again.
