The story
El Rais is the most Mediterranean proposal from Grupo Ses Forquilles, and it wears that identity openly. Perched on the Moll de Llevant in the port of Maó, it turns its gaze directly to the water. The name itself is a declaration: rice is the heart of the kitchen, but this is no ordinary rice house. The cooking here treats the grain with both reverence and invention, presenting it in many forms – each touched with a creativity that feels personal rather than forced.
The menu goes beyond rice. Alongside those arroces, you will find raw food offerings, grilled fish and meats, and a delicate selection of desserts. The cooking pulls the best flavours from land and sea, seasonal and direct. The dining room team takes pride in making each guest the centre of attention, with a professionalism that matches the ambition of any great restaurant, scaled to their own reality.
The restaurant is a literal window onto the Mediterranean. Its raised terrace and bright, airy dining room – part industrial, part coastal – feel spacious and comfortable. Light pours in, the harbour hums, and the line between indoors and outdoors blurs. It is a setting that lets the food and the view speak together.
Michelin has recognised El Rais with a Recommended distinction, noting the confident, sun-lit cooking that defines this address in Maó.
