Restaurant Reviews in Mallorca

Mallorca is known for its array of restaurants and eclectic cuisine so it was no surprise when last year alone there were 6 Michelin stars awarded on the island.

Located in an old mill, Restaurant Diferent sits within one of the oldest buildings in Cala d’Or. Many people stop in their tracks to admire the unusual building and, if the building doesn’t grab your attention, the wacky décor certainly will.

August 2017 saw the launch of Palma’s newest gastronomic meeting point, Mercat 1930. Conveniently located along Palma’s Paseo Maritimo, this space comprises of 13 stands serving up the latest gastro trends, offering something for everyone, whether they be a foodie, or not.

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.

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.

The Corb Marie is a beautiful restaurant set slightly back from the pine walk in Puerto Pollensa, specializing in grilled meat and fish. There is a lovely garden area in front of the restaurant, with tables surrounded by flowers and trees and great views of the pine walk and the sea beyond.

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.

The Frenchman and I were up in the north-east of Mallorca over the weekend, enjoying the luscious green countryside and idly toying with the idea of actually getting out of the car to explore a little on foot. “Oh no!”, said The Frenchman, “can't we just open the windows and hang our heads out a bit?”.

The clue is in the name! Meatclub is a restaurant that predominantly specialises in all things meat and should be at the top of any carnivores hit list on a visit to the tourist resort of Cala d’Or. Think burgers, steaks, ribs and more.

The north of Mallorca is well known for it's tourist resorts and wonderfully long beaches. What is less well known is that it is home to some of the most beautiful countryside on the island. With the protected natural parks of Llevent, S'Albufera and S'Albufereta, it' no wonder that visitors flock here to enjoy the natural beauty.

Fancy a spot of lunch in great location in Alcanada? With stunning views and beach access you could do worse than this casual little bar.

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.

On Saturday, February 1st, I went along to the 2nd edition of The SuppER Club, hosted by The Van Mallorca. This was a Japanese evening held at the trendy Zunray Yoga Studio on Calle Sant Feliu.
