Menestralia – Traditional Glassblowing & Mallorcan Cuisine in Campanet
Nestled alongside the MA‑13 highway on the edge of Campanet, Menestralia seamlessly combines a working glassblowing studio with a warm restaurant, offering visitors both cultural insight and delicious traditional cuisine. It’s a truly unique spot — ideal for families and travellers seeking artisan craft and local food experiences.
Glassblowing Craft – Witness Heritage in Action
Since 1965, Menestralia has upheld Mallorca’s centuries-old tradition of hand-blown glass art. In the studio attached to the restaurant, skilled craftsmen work with fire and molten glass, shaping vases, lamps, bowls, and ornaments. Visitors can observe live demonstrations (generally from May to December), step inside the workshop, and browse a showroom filled with colourful Venetian-, Catalan-, and Arabic-inspired pieces.
Watching the glassmakers at work is fascinating — it brings history to life with every swirl of molten glass and blow of the pipe.
Restaurant – Hearty Mallorcan Flavours
After witnessing the craft, the adjoining restaurant serves up Mallorcan favourites, featuring a generous buffet of local dishes like stew, grilled meats, vegetables, and traditional desserts — all at very reasonable prices across locals and tourists alike. Reviews highlight “homemade dishes,” friendly service, and good value for money. It’s perfect for visitors who want to combine culture with convivial, informal dining.
