Our restaurant, FERA, led by Austrian chef Simon Petutschnig, presents a culinary proposal deeply rooted in the essence of Mallorca. By celebrating the island’s agrarian origins, we highlight the exceptional produce sourced from local farmers, artisans, and fishermen.
From the heart of the city, our cuisine embarks on a journey across the island, encompassing its coastline, villages, and mountains. This is a tribute to Mallorca’s natural and agricultural heritage, enriched by our very own production of wine, olive oil, and honey from the Son Naava estate. Our dedication to authenticity and the quality of ingredients are the cornerstones of our gastronomic vision—a true ode to the land that has sustained Mallorcans for centuries.
THE CHEF
SIMON PETUTSCHNIG
Simon Petutschnig champions a cuisine that exalts the spirit of Mallorca and its people. With over two decades of experience in Spain, his culinary journey is defined by a deep connection to local gastronomy, a path of self-discovery, and continuous learning. This journey has taken him from the serene hills of Eberstein, Austria, where he was born, to the warm shores of Mallorca.
MORE INFO
Simon’s career has seen pivotal moments in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, where he honed his craft as a self-taught chef, working alongside some of Spain’s most renowned chefs. Among these, he had the privilege of working with Paco Pérez at the celebrated Miramar restaurant (two Michelin stars) and with Jordi Vilà at Alkimia (one Michelin star).
The last ten years in Mallorca have been transformative for Simon—not only as a chef but as a resident of the island. During this time, he has developed a deep understanding of the local rhythm of life, forging strong connections with both the year-round residents and the seasonal visitors. He has explored the island’s most representative products and traditional recipes, blending native ingredients with his global culinary perspective.
