A team driven by experience and passion

Chef Miguel Navarro’s cuisine is guided by precision, restraint, and a deep respect for flavor. His tasting menus are designed to engage the senses and reward attention, combining refined technique with clarity of purpose and flawless execution. Each dish reflects a career shaped in some of Europe’s most exacting kitchens, where discipline and consistency define excellence. This vision is complemented by a carefully curated selection of wine pairings, featuring exquisite national and international labels that complete the tasting menus offered at Es Fum.

Miguel Navarro began his professional career at the age of 16 as an apprentice at his family’s restaurant on the island of La Gomera. His early exposure to hospitality shaped his respect for product and technique, leading him to formal culinary training in Tenerife and experience across leading hotel kitchens.

In 2000, Miguel Navarro completed his first internship at Restaurante Martín Berasategui, a three-Michelin-starred institution in the Basque Country. His early career continued across some of Europe's most acclaimed kitchens, including MB Restaurant, where he contributed to earning the first Michelin Star under the direction of Berasategui. 

Since then, he has worked at multiple 3-Michelin-starred restaurants, including Restaurant Aqua at The Ritz-Carlton Wolfsburg in Germany, Piazza Duomo in Italy, Azurmendi in Bilbao, and El Celler de Can Roca in Girona.

Since 2017, Chef Miguel Navarro has served as Executive Chef at Es Fum, a Michelin restaurant in Palma de Mallorca awarded one Michelin star and a Sol Repsol. Prior to that, for three years, Miguel Navarro was part of Martín Berasategui's team in Barcelona, serving as Second Chef de Cuisine alongside Paolo Casagrande at the 3-Michelin-starred Lasarte Restaurant. 

His leadership in Mallorca reflects a return to his roots, and to the homeland of one of his grandmothers. At Es Fum, his culinary journey brings together his international expertise with a deep connection to Mallorca and the Mediterranean.

Our dedicated kitchen and dining team combine experience with energy. They are devoted to guiding every guest on a true gastronomic journey, and maintaining Es Fum's reputation as one of the top Michelin restaurants in Palma de Mallorca. 

From the kitchen and the dining room to the wine cellar, each member works in perfect harmony, orchestrating a 360° culinary experience where the balance between dishes, pairings, and desserts is thoughtfully designed to satisfy every sense.
