The coastal village of Colònia de Sant Pere has some of the best views for eating and drinking out in Mallorca – in my opinion. From one of the several, seafront restaurants, you have views across the Bay of Alcúdia to the northern end of the Serra de Tramuntana – the UNESCO World Heritage Site mountain range. Sunset here is glorious.

But there are times when I’d sacrifice the view for a visit to Can Kiwi; times when I want to eat or drink something healthier than the average coastal restaurant fare. This small eatery is just one road back from the seafront and has a front terrace as well as an attractive interior, with original arches, a tiled floor, and cute decorative touches. In colder months, a wood-burning stove makes the place cosy and even more appealing. Alessandro, the Italian owner, is friendly and welcoming too.

Can Kiwi is open for breakfast, brunch, snacks, and drinks, and also offers a set menú del día (16€ at the time of writing) on weekdays (except Thursdays, when the place is closed). Times are extended once the holiday season gets going.

Eats at Can Kiwi

The food menu includes waffles, salads, bowls and poke bowls, organic eggs, and that favourite Mallorcan snack, pa amb oli – made from a choice of two organic, sourdough breads from the local artisan bakery Forn Corpus. Gluten-free options are available.

Drinks at Can Kiwi

Drink choices include freshly made smoothies and juices, ‘golden milk’, kombuchas, organic teas, and healthy shots. But you can also enjoy the alcoholic drinks and coffees you’d find in other restaurants.

You’ll be enjoying the fare at Can Kiwi too much to miss the sea views. And, besides, you can always have a walk along the seafront after your visit – increasing the healthiness of a visit to Mallorca’s coastal gem, Colònia de Sant Pere and charming Can Kiwi.
