There are many cafes and bars too so if it's just a snack you are looking for or a beautiful 3 course meal, you will find it here. Although there are a few bars, there is not really much in the way of nightlife but plenty if you are prepared to hop on a bus to nearby Son Bou or even Mahon.
There are some shops which is fine for the basics but if it is a day out shopping you are after then you would be best venturing to Mahon which is a shoppers paradise.
