On a warm spring evening, we arrived at the 5-star Son Julia Country House Hotel and admired the 15th-century mansion standing in the glowing sunlight. Although it was only March, the car park was full, which led us to believe the season had well and truly started for this hotel on the island.

With so many great restaurants in Palma alone food lovers are spoilt for choice when it comes dining out in Mallorca. A stones throw from my apartment I can enjoy Italian food, fresh sushi and even roasted kangaroo but sometimes, I must be honest, all I want is a burger. Luckily for me, and anyone else visiting Palma, in the nearby Santa Catalina neighbourhood there is the Diner.

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.

Tucked away in the back-streets of the old town, Gaudeix is another of one of Palma’s gems - just a few minutes’ stroll off Passeig del Borne. Take the narrow Carrer de San Feliu on the opposite side of the Passeig to the Cathedral - (you’ll see a sign for Rialto Living as you turn), and you should find Gaudeix on your right-hand side after 200 metres or so.
Kuroböta restaurant is situated in Santa Catalina, Palma’s trendy gastronomic district, and, having been recommended it by a foodie friend of mine, I had been meaning to give this place a try for a while. Being sister to renowned restaurant Koh, Kuroböta had a lot to live up to. This little treasure positions itself as an eatery delivering a modern Japanese-East Asian fusion tapas experience.
