New Year's Eve in 2 weeks in Palma?

"I want it to be a gala dinner and for people to look beautiful," says Javi González, who took a chance and opened his restaurant on September 6, 2020.

"During the lockdown we had to close our brewery and we saw so many places that had shut down and been left by the wayside, but I saw it as an opportunity,” says Javi.

NovenoB also holds Blind Dinners.

Diners are given masks the minute they enter the premises and when the waiters set out plates they are invited to dip their fingers into dishes they can’t see and encouraged to shout out what they think the ingredients are. There’s no cutlery so diners have to eat with their fingers and grope around the table for their drinks.

"People want to have fun and try something different, and you don't come here to eat a ‘pa amb oli’ or chopitos,” says González, who acts as master of ceremonies. "Diners lose their embarrassment really quickly and end up shouting and licking the dishes.”
