Much more than simply a plate of food and ingrained in Spanish society, tapas is part of their institution, perfectly conveying the relaxed take on mealtime etiquette. Mallorca’s best restaurants are constantly creating new and imaginative ways to prepare and enjoy these mouth-watering dishes. What better way to spend those balmy summer evenings, than by sharing modestly sized, delicious plates of food with a crisp large glass of local wine?
The BBQ Nights on Thursdays in the summer are a popular event at Ca’s Xorc Boutique Hotel & Restaurant. For €59 per person, you get all the food you could possibly want to eat, including half a bottle of wine, water, dessert and coffee! So, on a particularly balmy evening, we decided to take on their flaming feast.
Situated at the very bottom of the 365 Calvari steps in with a massive outdoor seating area La Scalinata is a people watchers paradise.
Placa Espana is the major transport hub in the centre of Palma. It is where most of the buses & trains start their journeys, and where you catch the traditional wooden train to Soller. As such, there are a number of less refined dining establishments in the area, where you can fork out not insignificant sums for rather ordinary fare (no transport pun intended!). So it is good to know that there are some seriously good alternatives in the vicinity where you are guaranteed a good feed at a decent price.
We were intrigued recently to find a new restaurant in the top 10 restaurants for Mallorca in TripAdvisor. We don’t actually find that the rankings in TripAdvisor help us to find what we call ‘good restaurants’.
Ca’s Xorc Boutique Hotel & Restaurant ticks all the boxes for a gourmet dining experience in Mallorca’s spectacular Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. The combination of Mediterranean cuisine using locally sourced produce and epic mountain views is perfect, what more could you possibly ask for?
The Frenchman made a trip to my island paradise recently and having spent the morning vigorously sending e-mails, declared that he was hungry and and wanted to know of a good restaurant near Palma where we might have lunch.
Recent recipient of a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence 2015, for receiving consistently great reviews Ambrosia is well worth a visit.
Relax in elegant, funky style in the Royal Beach lounge, bar and restaurant located right on the beach at Platya de Muro.
With a prime spot on Carrer Fabrica, the pedestrianised street running through Palma's Santa Catalina district, Horreo Veinti3 had caught our eye on several occasions recently.
Nestled in the foothills of north-west Mallorca sits the majestic Son Brull Hotel & Spa. Once a monastery, this imposing building has been beautifully restored and then modernised to create the classic old-meets-new interior - we were immediately impressed... You enter the hotel through the most enormous glass door, just opening it brought a smile to our faces with its sheer grandueur and weight; and continue into the inner courtyard where the horses were once kept.
Son Julia Country House & Spa isn’t only to be enjoyed by hotel guests, anyone can dine at their first-class Las Bovedas Restaurant. Having eaten here before, I have fallen madly in love with the outdoor terrace. The tables are always elegantly set, and there’s such a magical ambiance in the golden hour before sundown.
Having only opened in 2017, Soy Restaurant is one of the latest additions to the resort's gastronomic portfolio, already known for serving up some of the best Asian food in town.
Established in the 1960s, Ponderosa Beach Club has grown in stature in recent years to become one of the trendiest addresses in Mallorca. It can be found in the north of the island on the beautiful Playa de Muro beach, near Can Picafort.
In the depths of Palma’s old town, on Plaza de Sant Francesc, resides a neoclassical style 19th-century mansion, which has been transformed to become Hotel Sant Francesc. This little boutique hotel has many charms from its original character through to its elegant accommodation, chic lobby bar and rooftop sushi restaurant, but on Valentine’s Day I went along to try out the renowned Quadrat Restaurant.
Mallorca has a number of very smart hotels linked to golf courses and spas. They tend to be housed in (very) grand properties surrounded by beautiful countryside, and offer a unique escape from everyday living.
If you’re after something a little special but still family friendly, if you want fine dining but cheerful service and if you love your local ingredients and wine then you’ll want to visit Osteria N15 in the market square of Puerto Pollenca.
For something a little bit different check out Tiberi, a relaxed and friendly restaurant serving an eclectic mix of tapas, burgers, meat and fish dishes, stir-fries and crepes all hinting at a fusion mentality and dotted with Asian flavours.
