Reviews Summary
Bistro 1909 is praised for its friendly staff, welcoming ambiance, and delicious food, particularly the paella and tapas. Some diners have found the food quality not worth the price, with specific complaints about the paella being too wet or the steak not being as expected.

"A real Spanish gem in the heart of Alcudia!
We stumbled upon Bistro 1909 and instantly felt like we’d been teleported into the charm of old Spain. The waiters? Fantastic – friendly, quick, and with that Spanish charisma that makes you feel like a king (or a flamenco dancer, depending on the wine).
The food? Simply outstanding. The paella hits you like a love letter from the past – rich, aromatic, and perfectly cooked. Every bite tells a story of grand berets, beautiful villas, and even more beautiful women strolling down sunlit alleys.
You’re not just eating here. You’re experiencing the soul of Spain, with flavors, colors, and sounds that stay with you long after the last sip of sangria.
Highly recommended – especially if you want to eat well, smile a lot, and feel a little more alive."

"It is a pity that we had such a bad food experience in Alcudia, beautiful town with ambience. The quality of food is not worth the money in this place, feels a bit like a tourist trap. Paella was too wet, seemed to be undercooked. The portion of paella for two people was also small, more like for one person. We were still hungry and had to grap a pizza in the place nearby after this place. At least the waiters were nice and honest about sangria from the cheap package Don Simon and apologized."

"I love this place!
The staff are very friendly, attentive & efficient. The food is always amazing, we had delicious garlic prawn to star, followed by a delicious paella & catch of the day. Have been back since for a lovely cream chicken pasta for lunch & will definitely be back again, undoubtedly.
Thank you Bistro 1909 :)."
