La Vieja Restaurant

Tapas with a twist of the Canary Islands at this quirky restaurant

Location
Santa Ponsa

La Vieja is a vibrant restaurant in the heart of Palma de Mallorca, led by renowned chef Jonay Hernández. Bringing the Canary Islands to the Mediterranean, Jonay combines childhood memories, personal culinary growth, and top-quality ingredients to create inventive tapas with bold character.

Set in Plaza Raimundo Clar, the restaurant itself is as quirky as the menu, with graffiti-adorned walls and a lively, contemporary atmosphere. Diners can expect dishes that reflect the Canary Islands with a modern twist, such as the duo of roasted cheese tartlets - truffle and palm honey alongside mojos cannelloni filled with Canarian ropa vieja - or the loin of Angus beef marinated in smoked mojo, served with crispy papas and Majorero cheese. Seafood lovers will enjoy squid tartar with palm pepper sriracha and creamy shrimp mojo. Desserts continue the creative journey, with options like peeled potato (frangollo) paired with barraquito cream and black soil, a playful nod to volcanic Canarian landscapes.

La Vieja also features an exclusive cocktail menu inspired by the Canary Islands, offering tropical mixes and reimagined classics that perfectly complement the food. With a focus on flavour, creativity, and a personal touch, La Vieja promises a dining experience that surprises and delights in every bite.

It’s a must-visit for those seeking innovative Canarian cuisine in the heart of Palma.
