¡Probando el RESTAURANTE de RAFA NADAL en MALLORCA!

Hi everyone, I'm Pedro Cazales, I'm having dinner with Pablo, and the only thing left in my life is the hunger. I bring you a new visit here, to the great Academy of Rafa Nadal. This is Rafa Nadal Academy, an immense complex. I mean, you have no idea how many things are here. Yes, a little court to play tennis, a lot of space, there is apparently a hotel, apartment, gyms, of course the parking so you can leave the car. And the best thing is that they also have both a cafeteria and a restaurant. Today I bring you the Rafa Nadal restaurant. This is the restaurant where we are going to check how is the food of this place. Here we have it. I have to say that you don't need to be in the hotel, or in the apartments, or to have put some sets so you can enjoy their food. There are a lot of people today. I have made my reservation in advance, there are two diners. And now it's time to tell you what they have on the menu of this restaurant, what there is to eat, how much it costs, and if it's worth it. So let's go inside. And we give him the vice. We are here inside the Rafa Nadal restaurant. Restaurant Roland Garros. They give facilities, they have this. I mean, this is an immense complex. I haven't seen everything yet, but well, there are a few tracks to play tennis, covered pool, outdoor pool. I see that there is also a kind of fitness club, a gym. When you go to the parking lot, you will understand that there is a hotel, because you see a kind of terraces with tables and chairs. And just at the end of the wide parking lot, there is a kind of sign that says Rafa Nadal Club. So, well, you have an idea that the dimensions of these are huge. And let's hope that the enjoyment with the dishes is also huge. Comment that to access the restaurant, first you have to get to a building where the Rafa Nadal Museum is located. I think it's worth going in. I haven't seen it yet, but well, it will be a little bit of the whole story and the whole career of this famous Spanish tennis player. And then you get to what would be the gastronomic area. You have both a kind of bar, cafeteria called West Open, and on the right hand you have what is this restaurant where we are. It's Roland Garros. The interior space is bright, very simple in decoration. Only some references to Nadal and other teammates. I'm not very good at tennis, so I can't tell you who they are. The service, at the moment, charming for everything we have ordered. And here we have the letter. The letter that first brings you what are the suggestions of the chef. It has a six-euro pichuás cream, dead trumpet croquettes, which are some mushrooms, six units of 12 euros, two euros per croquette, sepia croquette, squid ink and green pepper, the same price, tuna carpaccio, Iberian prey with sautéed vegetables, San Pedro rooster fillet with sautéed vegetables and meat with vegetables, being the price of the seconds between 22 and 25 euros. And then we also have the letter. Here they indicate it, Rafa Nadal Academy. Let's see how it is eaten here at Roland Garros. Like practically any letter in all the restaurants in the world, it starts with the starters, with the entrants, beef carpaccio, truffle omelette with confit potato, there is a hummus, a smoked salmon, Iberian ham and cheese, as they have commented that it does not remain, a national squid to the Andalusian, we continue with a section of salads in which we have seven options. Then the main dishes, fish of the day, beef burger, a vegetarian burger, salmon, octopus, vegetables, Thai-style vegetable curry, there are healthy things. It seems that here is the typical, better than eating Rafa Nadal in his preparations when he has the tournaments. Then a section of pasta with a few options, Mediterranean, puttanesca, carbonara, carbonara that goes with bechamel, that is not an authentic carbonara, Bolognese, pesto, funghi, Sicilian, truffle, and once again, come on, onions, mushrooms, scallops, prawns, and a touch of guindilla, come on, come on. And then they have the pizzas, which have the classic margarita for 8.50, and you can add the toppings, the extra ingredients, to 1.70. There is everything, both from the garden, such as arugula, basil, capers, from the farm, serrano ham, ham and yogurt, pepperoni, bacon or egg, and from the sea you have anchovies, tuna and prawns. Well, they put more cheese, homemade pesto, garlic, guindilla, well, everything you want. Obviously, it has its cost, the children's dishes and the desserts, which we will talk about later. Now that the controversy is over, the water, the half-liter one, 2.30. Well, it is not a surprise at the end of the bill, because it is a contained price, as it seems to be the whole menu, except for a dish. So, let's order a lot of things and see what we think at Rafa Nadal's restaurant. Oh, oh, oh, what a surprise, I have seen two types of bruschetta out of the menu, but it turns out that they come here and there are nine. They were going to mix me three and three, it turns out that there is another additional type that they have brought me, so it looks very, very good. We have nine bruschettas here, but first we have to tell you that they bring you the bread, the truth is that it looks good, and additionally an oil from here, from the Balearic Islands, which they produce in Inca. So let's put a little bit here on the plate, to try this liquid gold. Oh, it doesn't come out. They serve it for Qatar. We start well because the bread is very good. We get the oil. Mmm, how wonderful the olive oil that we have in Spain, how it is enjoyed, how it is enjoyed, and accompanied by a good bread, that's great. The first type of croquettes, these round ones, are the trumpets of death. Let's see, let's see. Very compact. It has a very strange texture, not unpleasant, it's like, maybe I'm a little crazy, but it's like eating a vegetable hamburger, because of the texture and the flavors. It tastes like a lot of mushrooms. The crust is slightly crunchy. It's not bad, it's not bad. They are not the personified fluidity, I know that there are people who like croquettes, but you don't need to be in the plate, but they do meet what they announce, they are the trumpets of death, and they taste like trumpets of death, for my part, they have done it well, so let's see the other types. Be careful with these, which are the croquettes of sobrasada. This typical dip here in Mallorca. Wow, fantastic. And creamy. In fact, look, in case you haven't seen it, in case you haven't done it, subscribe. I just had to strain it, so come on, do it. We go up in crunchy, very, very crunchy on the outside. I like it because it reminds me a lot of some that are in Madrid, in the Sierra, in Guadarrama, in Sala, which makes some chorizos of death, and the flavor is very similar. Obviously, here we have sobrasada, not chorizo. Very good, very good. And we go with the last trio, these are the croquettes of sepia, which come with squid ink, and also green pepper. Well, it also has the flavor of green pepper. It's not bad. Look at what has just arrived. A very, very hot dish, and freshly prepared, this truffle omelette with sweet potato. But I feel that inside it's going to be like those that I like so much. Let's see, let's see, let's see. Wow, how juicy. It looks like a French omelette. And I'm going to put it here on a separate plate so you can see the texture. Let's see how that truffle flavor is. Well, I've made a mess, but the texture is juicy. Let's taste it with the spoon so we can get more. It's juicy. It doesn't taste like anything. It needs a lot of salt. Of course, this salt is not for... It's not fine salt, it's not going to do much. But, well. The potato is ultra-soft, it melts in your mouth, and that truffle flavor is there, but it's a bit remote. It's the typical dish that you should call a sweet potato omelette with a little bit of truffle, because saying truffle omelette... I don't see much prominence in the truffle as in saying it's a truffle omelette. To comment on something that is true, which is the fact that you notice more or less truffle, depends on the piece of ham, because the mixture is not homogeneous. Texture omelette, very good, super nice. You can see that it's eaten with the spoon, wonderful. And I think that, at its due point of salt, it would have gained a lot. And if they had put onion, well, I don't even tell you. Obviously, there's something that won't be missing in any restaurant, not even in Rafa Nadal's. And it's making the omelette. I really like the bread they put. Like I said, the omelette is very well prepared. As for the point, I would only ask for a bit more salt, this sauce, and the truffle to be a bit more accentuated, because it's a bit short. Two questions I wanted to ask you. Rafa, do you spend time here? He's been here a few times, but yes, he comes here a lot. Especially when he's training, in the morning. So he comes here to train? And he comes here to the reservoir, and he comes here for a bit, but he never lets us know. I agree with the complicated image, but to know if he's ever been here, it's curious. Let's see how the track is. It's curious how big this is, and the fact that Rafa, the guy, spends so much time here, but without letting us know, so that they don't bother him with photos, because I understand. It happens to me a lot. Imagine Rafa Nadal, how insufferable he has to be. I say it on purpose. If you ever come here, come and ask for a photo, I'll gladly take it. But if in a 30-minute stretch, they ask for 80 photos, there's no human being who can take it. Let's start with the pizza, although I should say the pizza, because I'd say it's a pizza. You see it because of the oval shape, and it looks crispy, simple, a margarita, like carbonara, a bit mixed, because we have the cheese, which I imagine is mozzarella, only two tomatoes, and I imagine the base too, and instead of basil, they put oregano. Let's cut it. Look at the cheese. There you have it. I could cut a good piece, but let's eat it like this. It has a generous amount of cheese, little tomato, a crispy base, it's nice to eat, it's not tedious, it's perfect. The girl told me, you really don't want to put anything on it? And I was thinking, if the margarita is my favorite pizza, why would I add anything else? I don't know, I think it needs more than anything, because I feel like I have cheese, oregano, and the dough. The tomato is practically absent, you don't feel it, and it's a bit scarce. I'd like to add other ingredients, other flavors, I didn't have it. I'm not saying it's a bad pizza, it's acceptable, but it doesn't have all the charm I would have liked. It's partly my fault, because I didn't add anything else, and partly because I didn't work on it, because the amount of tomato is so little, you don't even notice it. We continue with another dish that I like a lot, it's one of the cheapest, this is the curry chicken with apple and pineapple, it comes with arroba mati and it's only €10. Let's see how it is. It tastes like pineapple. It's hot pineapple, like those pineapple desserts. How curious. And the apple. It's cool to eat hot pineapple. Let's mix it with rice. It's a delicious mix. It's a seemingly simple dish, like the whole kitchen of Roland Garros or Rafa Nadal in Mallorca, nothing pretentious. They are dishes that I saw in the comments and I thought, this is relatively cheap, and then the dishes are products and garnish. It's not a super elaborate I've always been more for the daily, that the places have their own identity, for example, with the croquetas de trompetas de la muerte, with the croquetas de sobrasada, with this dish, it differs a bit from the usual. I've tried a tricot before, and it was great, but I like to try more elaborate things, with a little work, and I really like this dish. The chicken is very well done, it doesn't feel dry at all, the background is very well done, and it seduces me in those sweet moments, product of both pineapple and apple. A healthy dish, very fitness, and let's go for the desserts. It's time for the desserts, I'll tell you the available options. First, the cat with almond ice cream, in other words, a typical Mallorcan cake, made with almond, price 5.70, content, white chocolate garnishes with mango coulis, coconut mousse with blackberry compote and basil, chocotremen, like a brownie, they told me it's not available, they don't prepare it, carrot and spelt biscuits, chocolate coulis, cheese tart with red fruit sauce, they told me it's baked and soft, so, spoiler, it's going to fall. Mix of dried fruits and dehydrated fruit, mix of fruit, chocolate volcano, and tiramisu, there are almost 10 options, prices around 5-6 euros, and a few that are prepared here in the house, I also like that the guy, when he tells us which ones are from here, he is grateful for both transparency and knowledge, he knows what's here, because it's very important for me, to know the dishes, ingredients, and all the questions I ask the staff, they know them perfectly, they are charming, they have a good face everywhere, they are very nice, I like the treatment of this place, and I hope I like the desserts, that are not going to be just one, or two, or three, four desserts, The dessert feast begins, and it starts with a typical one, from Mallorquin Island, this is the cat, which is an almond biscuit, made with almond, I remember a Santiago cake, and on top of that, we have an almond ice cream. I'm going to take the top, I'm going to put my hand in the ice cream, I'm going to tell you something, as I don't only eat biscuits in restaurants, nor is it a thing that abounds, it reminds me of when my grandmother or my mother prepared them, it has a lot of almond flavor, it feels juicy, it is not dry at all, and it has its charm with the touch of ice cream on top, let's see the almond ice cream, they have called it almond, but if they had called it nougat ice cream, it would be the same, because it is identical to hard nougat. This dessert is not bad, it is correct, light, but it is not what I'm looking for, I want strong sugar, let's see what we find now. Next dessert, we have this white chocolate ganache, a ganache is a mixture, an emulsion, of cream and chocolate, in this case, instead of pure cocoa chocolate, we have white chocolate, it has a strawberry base, and also a mango coulis, in texture, it reminds me of a mousse, and it has that flavor of pastry white chocolate, I like it with the strawberries, I really like white chocolate, it is a dessert that I am enjoying, and I think I can recommend it to you, if it is one of your preselected chocolates, so let's finish it and go for more. Another dessert, the third, but in this it is not worth it, we have one that is vegan, it is a coconut mousse, with a blackberry compote, and also a little basil, I think that because they make it vegan, it loses a lot, I'm not going to say things I don't know, but it gives me the feeling that these are just some balls of cream, with a little grated coconut on top, and the base, which is the blackberry compote, well, blackberry, and I would even tell you that more of raspberry than blackberry, with this I have stumbled, the truth is that it does not motivate me to eat more. Fourth dessert, we have the cheese tart, with red fruits, yes sir, the good part, how wonderful, how wonderful, what a taste, well, prepare the oven, the texture seems to be creamy, and let's see how that mixture of flavors is, they will be the ones that taste more like cheese, sweeter, it seems that it has cookie base, it seems, yes, but very finite, and already a little soft, it seems, it reminds me, with a slightly different texture, to the one prepared by Dani García in Lobito de Mar, it is a texture almost like a mousse, it has a lot of cream cheese flavor, the cookie base is practically inappreciable, nothing crunchy, only that feeling that you are chewing it at some point, and some flavor, but what is not protagonist is the cheese, I tell you that it is not a cake, neither very sweet, nor with a lot of cheese flavor, it is as we would say in Madrid, between Pinto and Valdemoro, and I like it because I see that it is fine, it does not have a lot of egg flavor, as if I found some others, a good dessert, I would say that it stays there at the same time with that desire for white chocolate, so I have already told you the two that I like the most of the four, now it's time to tell you what the total was of the food in this restaurant, Rafa Nadal, here in Mallorca. Here the booklet with the story, and here we have a business card, with an email, in case you want to leave an assessment, an online review, and some chocolate truffles, that they put them as an invitation, and the bill for this meal, with many dishes, four salty and four desserts, if I'm not mistaken, has been 74.20 euros, of the two, two waters at 2.30 each, 4.60, the semi croquettes that they have made me, that they have put me three additional, thanks for the detail, 12 euros, truffle omelette, 16.90, some salt was missing, and the truffle, margherita pizza, 8.50, beauty advice, put more ingredients, that if not, it is something poor, the chicken curry, 10 euros, has been the best dish of today, the cat, 5.70, the ganache, that does not put it with R, is ganache, 5.50, coconut mousse, 5.50, and the cheese cake, again 5.50, and nothing, well that, a fairly cheap food, for all the things that have been ordered, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 dishes, the dish comes out at less than 10 euros, knowing that the desserts lower the average, of course, come to eat, to the restaurant Rafa Nadal, here in his academy, it is not something expensive, everyone can afford it, on top of that, you do not need to order as many dishes as a waiter has done, I have found a place with references to Rafa Nadal, a very good atmosphere, the treatment has been charming, smiles, nice, close, as it should be an experience in a restaurant, simple food, gentle dishes, simple, few ingredients, not very pretentious products, it is not something that pretends to be chic, or say, look what we do, this is from Rafa Nadal, but rather, a normal meal, that I think everyone would enjoy, I did not come here with the expectations of finding the best restaurant in my life, and to highly recommend it, but yes, I think that to every tennis lover, and to this great athlete that we have in Spain, like Rafael Nadal, to come here, see the facilities, with the tennis court, know everything there is, the museum that is there, the entrance, and others, I think it has part of its charm, and if you see those things, take it and eat well, because eating, we have eaten well, better than better, so from here I am very happy to have documented this restaurant, that was on my list for a long time, and since it has come to Mallorca, it has been documented, maybe I will record one more here, you will see, however, remember, so as not to miss next deliveries, next videos, here in the Baleares, in Madrid, in Catalonia, in Andalusia, in Asturias, in Cantabria, in the Basque Country, Galicia, Extremadura, in all the provinces, there has been like this, thank you very much for having recorded and it will be recorded, so do not forget to subscribe and give the little hand up, so that this video reaches more people, thank you from the bottom of my heart, see you in the next video.
