Maca de Castro

What Maca de Castro does

Maca de Castro is a single-location fine-dining restaurant in Puerto de Alcúdia, Mallorca, operated by Family Castro & Martin S.L., a private limited company. Its core product is a seasonal tasting menu priced at €165 per person (VAT included) built on a "Free Mallorcan cuisine" philosophy that emphasizes local Mallorcan ingredients sourced from the chef's own three vegetable gardens in Sa Pobla, supplemented by an optional eight-wine pairing module at €110 per person. The restaurant holds a Michelin star (awarded 2012) and a Michelin Green Star (2022), reflecting its gastronomic credentials and sustainability practices, and is led by chef-owner Maca de Castro, who in 2024 was named President of Eurotoques.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer, reservation-only model with a single dining room, generating revenue exclusively from in-person covers. Distribution is entirely physical through the Alcúdia restaurant, with awareness driven by the company's website, Instagram (@maca_de_castro) and Facebook (decastrogrupogastronomico). Beyond the flagship, the restaurant sits within the broader De Castro Group, a family-controlled gastro group that also operates Jardín Bistrô (à la carte, same building), Andana in central Palma, 20º Restobar in Düsseldorf, and Jardín by Saravá in Uruguay — though revenue, ownership structure and financial consolidation across these entities are not publicly disclosed.

The customer base consists of fine-dining enthusiasts and Mallorca visitors seeking an authentic Mallorcan gastronomic experience; there are no enterprise, B2B or wholesale customers identified in the source data. Pricing is publicly disclosed on the website and is collected per cover at the time of dining, with no subscription, loyalty program or alternative monetization layer. There is no technology platform, no digital product, and no AI capability associated with the business — competitive advantage is grounded entirely in culinary talent, proprietary R&D (the I+T department) and self-supplied agricultural inputs.

Broad incumbents

• El Celler de Can Roca: Three-Michelin-star Girona restaurant of the Roca brothers is a broader incumbent in Spanish fine dining: same tasting-menu format, family-run, and awarded chef-driven cuisine, but at substantially larger scale and global brand recognition.
• Tickets (Albert Adrià): Albert Adrià's Barcelona restaurant group (including Tickets and Pakta) is a broader incumbent: chef-driven contemporary Spanish tasting formats within a multi-brand portfolio model, comparable to the De Castro Group's brand-architecture approach.
• Arzak: Three-Michelin-star San Sebastián restaurant is a broader incumbent in Spanish fine dining with a tasting-menu offer and decades-long family leadership, comparable in prestige but with longer Michelin history and larger group footprint.
• Disfrutar: Two-Michelin-star Barcelona restaurant by Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch, and Mateu Casañas is a broader incumbent: contemporary Catalan tasting-menu cuisine with a chef-owner partnership model and international gastronomy recognition comparable to Maca de Castro's standing.

Direct peers

• Mugaritz: Andoni Luis Aduriz's two-Michelin-star restaurant in San Sebastián is a direct peer — same Basque/Spanish fine dining, tasting-menu format, and a personal relationship with the chef-owner of Maca de Castro (her mentor and predecessor as Eurotoques President).
• Aponiente: Ángel León's three-Michelin-star restaurant in El Puerto de Santa María is a direct peer: chef-driven tasting menu of contemporary regional Spanish cuisine with a distinctive local-product narrative, recognized among Spain's leading culinary innovators.
• Azurmendi: Eneko Atxa's three-Michelin-star, Green Star-holding restaurant in Larrabetzu is a direct peer: high-end tasting-menu cuisine with a sustainability narrative, contemporary Basque/Spanish regional cuisine, and similar award trajectory.
• DiverXO: David Muñoz's three-Michelin-star Madrid restaurant is a direct peer — same chef-owner model, contemporary tasting-menu format, and peer group recognition (named alongside Maca de Castro in Tiempo Magazine's 2015 list of Spain's ten best young chefs).

Regional players

• Marc Fosh: Michelin-starred restaurant in Palma de Mallorca is a regional peer: same Balearic-Island gastronomy scene, contemporary Mediterranean cuisine with local ingredients, and shared customer pool of culinary travelers to the islands.
• Adrián Quetglas: Mallorca-based chef with a contemporary Mediterranean tasting menu is a regional peer: same island geography, shared Mallorca-based supplier ecosystem, and overlapping fine-dining clientele visiting the Balearics.
