Taverna Son Molas

From a terrace with the castle in view, Taverna Son Molas is worth considering when the meal should feel relaxed but still distinctive. It is a Mediterranean tapas gastrobar in Begur, suited to diners who want mini dishes, a scenic setting, and a casual atmosphere. The appeal is not about formality; it is about having a meal with enough character in the location and the plates to feel specific to the place.

The strongest case is the combination of setting and food style. Taverna Son Molas is located in a farmhouse on the outskirts of Begur, with an interior dining room and a large terrace overlooking the castle. Its specialty is quality mini dishes, with signature items including cod brandade cornetto, soft shell crab burger, truffled béchamel cannelloni, aged beef tataki, and oak grilled fish. That mix gives the venue a useful middle ground: casual enough for an unforced meal, but shaped by dishes that sound composed rather than generic.

Choose the terrace if the castle view matters as much as the small plates

The large terrace is the main reason to prioritize this over a generic casual dinner in town. The view toward the castle gives the meal a clear sense of place, turning the setting into part of the experience rather than just a backdrop. There is also an interior dining room, but the outdoor setting is the more distinctive version of the experience. If the weather is cooperative, the terrace is the defining feature, especially for diners who want the memory of the meal to include where they were sitting as much as what they ordered.

At the verified $17 per-person price level, the value proposition is approachable for a meal with scenic payoff and a tapas structure. The fit is best for diners who like trying multiple flavors and keeping the meal casual while still choosing dishes with personality. Because the venue specializes in mini dishes, the table can shape the meal around the dishes that appeal most.

The smart order is a mix of signature dishes

The signature dishes give first-timers a clear way into the menu. The cod brandade cornetto, soft shell crab burger, truffled béchamel cannelloni, aged beef tataki, and oak grilled fish show the range of the Mediterranean tapas gastrobar style here. Rather than treating the meal as a formal sequence, it makes sense to choose a mix of these mini dishes based on what the table wants to try.

That range is useful: one table can keep the meal casual, while another can build a broader spread from the same list of signature dishes. The style is Mediterranean tapas gastrobar, with casual dress, so the setting should feel easygoing rather than ceremonial. The best experience is likely to come from leaning into that flexibility: try a mix of dishes and let the terrace setting carry much of the atmosphere.

Who should pick it, and who should skip it

Pick Taverna Son Molas for a scenic meal in Begur, especially if the terrace view is part of the draw. It is also a sensible choice for visitors who want a clear sense of place: castle view, terrace, Mediterranean cooking, and a casual atmosphere. It works particularly well when the goal is not to dress up the evening too much, but to make it feel more memorable than an interchangeable casual stop.

Skip it if terrace dining is not important to you or if you are looking for a different dining style. The dress code is casual, so there is no need to overthink clothing; the better planning move is simply to focus the meal around the terrace and the mini dishes that define the venue. If those two elements are not central to what you want, the main reasons to choose Taverna Son Molas become less compelling.
