Convent de la Missio

Michelin Star Restaurant in Palma de Mallorca's Old Town

The old Convent de la Missió, built during the seventeenth century for the purpose of educating missionaries, stands surrounded by small streets and courtyards with gardens in Palma’s old town centre. Today, having undergone careful renovation, it has become an exclusive hotel where elegance blends with serenity, resulting in a unique space, full of beauty and immersed in art, distinguished for its tranquility and harmony.

The Hotel currently has 27 rooms. They are spacious and very welcoming, and have been designed to offer comfort and tranquility. Every room has a high, luxurius standard and with an own, unique and individual touch.

THE RESTAURANT

Restaurant Marc Fosh is Palma´s premier dining destination serving contemporary Mediterranean food to evoke and create memories. We serve tasting menus that highlight the best local produce we can source from across the Balearic Islands, with ideas and inspirations from all over the Mediterranean and an emphasis on clean flavours and seasonal ingredients. Located on the lower level of the hotel, Marc Fosh combines Michelin-Starred cooking with a modern, relaxed and contemporary space in the historic town of Palma.

Marc Fosh is one of Europe’s most exciting and creative cookery talents and without doubt one of Britain’s most successful culinary exports. Living and working in Spain he developed his own unique style of cuisine focusing on fresh ingredients and quality of produce, to which he adds a touch of inspired genius. The result is a modern, yet simple cuisine with clean tastes and depths of flavor. In 2002 Marc become the first and only British Chef to be awarded a Michelin Star in Spain.

In 2009, Marc opened his own Restaurant in Palma de Mallorca with Business Partner Robert Bragagnolo. Marc Fosh Restaurant is located in the Hotel Convent de la Missió where contemporary design, blends seamlessly with traditional features the hotel styling reflects the roots of Marc’s menu, which features authentic Mediterranean food, treated to a modern twist. Marc also provided the first and business class menus for Germany’s flagship airline Lufthansa and has appeared as a guest Chef at Hangar 7, Salzburg.

GIORGIA SCARAMELLA - SOMMELIER

Giorgia was born and raised in one of Italy's most famous wine regions, Friuli; wine is in her blood.

"I quite simply grew up surrounded by vineyards and the whole culture of wine and became fascinated with the world of wines; it became my passion. My first proper qualification and training was from the Italian National Wine Tasters Organization and I then began working as an air hostess, which enabled me to combine my love for travel with furthering my wine studies. I began working with Marc Fosh when he had the Fosh Laboratory. We were a small, experienced and experimental team so I was working front and back of house and that is when all my studies and training as a sommelier really came to fruition. Expand my knowledge of local, Spanish and international wines, spirits, beers and non-alcoholic drinks. While it may be a global industry, it is extremely complex and diverse, especially here in Majorca."
