Mallorcan cuisine, based on pork, fish and vegetables with generous use of garlic and olive oil, is hearty peasant fare steeped in tradition and rooted in local ingredients. But despite the rich traditions, you will find that increasingly restaurants are becoming more inventive with their cuisine and that dishes make use of the delicious local produce, such a sun-drenched lemons, plump and juicy olives and the wonderful natural salt plains in the south.
