La Rosa Vermuteria & Colmado Restaurant
Trendy and retro, traditional tapas haunt in the heart of the city centre
La Rosa Vermutería and Colmado is one of Palma’s most characterful places to eat and drink, sitting somewhere between a traditional tavern, a vermouth bar and a classic local eatery. Located right in the heart of the city, it is a lively, old-fashioned spot where generations mix and the focus is firmly on flavour, simplicity and quality produce.
The menu celebrates honest Spanish cooking, built around seasonal ingredients, hand-sliced jamón, high-quality conserves and generous portions of homemade tapas. Expect crisp patatas bravas, fresh seafood when in season, and comforting dishes that reflect Mallorca’s love of straightforward, well-executed food. Even the canned goods are chosen with care and are as much a highlight as the daily specials.
La Rosa is also known for its excellent vermouth and relaxed approach to drinking, making it a popular choice for post-work drinks that often turn into long afternoons. The industrial-style interior feels busy yet warm, with traditional details that give it plenty of character.
Unlike many restaurants in Palma, La Rosa stays open throughout the afternoon and also opens on Sundays, when the evening atmosphere is especially vibrant. Friendly, knowledgeable staff are happy to guide you through the menu, but tables are in high demand, so booking ahead is strongly recommended.
