First Communion · Establiments, Palma
First Communion lunch — keep it in the family
Five minutes from the Establiments church. Paella out of the pan, table under vines, family together until late afternoon.
The First Communion is the biggest family event of the year on Mallorca — nine-year-old children, godparents from across the family, grandparents, neighbours from the village. At Restaurant Es Muntant we've hosted communions from Establiments and the surrounding barrios for decades. The Establiments church is a five-minute walk; lunch happens here right after.
⛪ Out of church — straight to the table
The Sant Pere d'Establiments parish runs around 12-15 First Communions a year. From the church to us is 350 metres on foot — the children walk down with parents and godparents, no faff with cars. We open right at the end of mass with the table ready.
For families from other parishes (Sant Magí, Santa Catalina, Son Roca) we're 15-20 minutes by car. Free parking outside for 30+ cars.
🥘 Three menu lines
- Classic: variat mallorquí (8 tapas), paella mallorquina from the big pan, house-made greixonera or tarta de comunión. DO Binissalem wine included.
- Brasa: garden salads, lamb chops or sea bass off the wood-fired grill, tumbet from the wood oven, dessert.
- Mix: paella mixta plus variat selection — the compromise option when the family splits down the meat-versus-fish line.
Kids' menu separately: grilled chicken with chips or spaghetti bolognese, house-made pudding for dessert.
👨👩👧👦 Spaces and sizes
Communions usually run 20-50 guests. On the terrace we lay one long table for 30-40 — that works best for communions because the children sit together and the adults arrange around them. For larger families (50+) we open the main dining room as well.
Photo corner on the terrace looking at the Tramuntana — popular for family pictures by the olive-wood grill.
