Until the end of the 1990s, there had been total inconsistency in the restaurant’s average covers. It could vary between zero and full capacity on dates in peak season and on some weekends, when there could even be more than 100 diners per service, both at lunch and dinner.

The level of demand combined with a still evolving offering made it possible to cater to specific one-off events. In particular, small groups of gastronomes were offered the chance to enjoy the experience seated at an impressive banquet table, where there could be better interaction between all the participants.

For this purpose, a table was designed that could be adapted to suit the needs of as many as 25 people.

This banquet table was also a feature of the memorable gastronomic evenings that took place as part of the ‘Three days at Cala Montjoi’ events held between 1993 and 1999.

As the structure of the offering evolved, and the staging the tasting menu became more complex, the restaurant gradually limited its service to only 50 diners a day. It also limited the number in a group to eight people, which led to this table format being abandoned.
