About Us
20 years Brisas
With over 20 years of history, we have quite some stories to tell. From how it all began to where we are now. We have written down our history, some anecdotes, funny stories and personal memoires in small chapters. We hope you enjoy reading them!
Sun!
And so, in 1998 first they took over the old 'pato verde' (nowadays mosquito) but already one year later they switched to 'La Olla’. This snuggly place located at Cala Agulla just seemed perfect to continue a business 'old style' as 'Markt 15' Another year later, at the end of season a unique oportunity came in. The Spanish owners of the restaurant right next to it, retired and so they sold the business 'Restaurante Brisas'. There was no doubt of what to do...
The 'new' Brisas (2000-2001) attracted during more than a decade guests from around the world, especially from Germany. Freshly prepared Schnitzel (scallops), served with different sauces, all of course homemade, seasonal and local dishes like fresh mediterranean fish and not to forget our typical german sausage called 'Currywurst' served with a cold beer while watching your favorite Sports on the screen. With back then no one else around offering the same, this was a big success. So one day one of Margit's son's came to run the 'La Olla exclusively as a sportsbar, while Margit and Herbert took care of the restaurant, she worked in service and he swung the pan's around in the kitchen...
But at some point bussiness slowed down, then the financial crisis came and most places around shut down. Family probems and disagreements didn't really help either and so it came they accepted help from a German TV 'chef' back in January 2012. Boy did that turn out differently as thought. Restaurante Brisas was close to closing down... Some drastical changes were needed. Margit and her son kept 'La Olla' and Herbert kept the Restaurant, taking charge of the debts. That was when he called his daughte, to ask if she'd like to come over...
Brisas - Brisas Del Mar
In the following years 'Brisas' made a new start, called 'BRISAS DEL MAR'! Many tough decisions had to be taken. A Dutch TV show also showed interest and so we shut down for 3 days for some make over. 2 years later we completely transformed the look of the restaurant. The Management and also employees changed. Nowadays Brisas Del Mar is run by the second generation. Realising that the old way to run a business, was completely outdated, new questions arised. Who are we? Why do we do what we are doing? What do we stand for? Now Brisas Del Mar is an ever changing place, while charishing some traditions that never outdate.
The traditional gastronomy formula (good food + friendly service + fair prices = succes) has transformed. Simply being ‘good’ is not enough anymore to survive. We adapt to those changes of our surroundings and time. We experiment, reflect, innovate, try new things and see what we can improve. The wellbeing, needs and wishes of our guests, team and environment, being the center of all decisions. (See below for our Mission, Vision and Values.)
