Restaurant Reviews in Mallorca

A trip down to the south-west of Mallorca found The Frenchman and I in Sant Elm. A pretty little fishing village, Sant Elm is the closest port to the national park of Sa Dragonera.

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.

If you are in search of a quirky Spanish tapas restaurant in Palma, then this one’s for you! Despite its location on a cobbled backstreet buried in the depths of Palma’s old town, Quina Creu has deservedly built up a devoted fan base in the city and we thought we would go and see what all the fuss was about!

Last summer, I came across Ca'n Pintxo whilst strolling around the charming streets of Sóller. An energetic vibe came from this particular establishment which was tucked away down a pretty side street, less than a hundred metres from the main square. Having just had dinner elsewhere that evening, I made a promise to myself to return to check it out.

El Olivo has been on our list of restaurants to review for some time. It has an excellent reputation for fine Mallorcan dining and promises a romantic and elegant ambiance.

So another weekend, another drive around the tiny, narrow roads of Mallorca, with the Frenchman cringing every time a car approaches as he imagines the car swerving off the road and tumbling down some ravine. For the umpteenth time, I promise myself never to take him on a day out again.

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.

La Terrazza is the absolute gem of Alcanada’s eateries, just a five minute drive away from busy Port D’Alcudia, hidden from the road by brush and trees and situated on a little point jutting into the sea, this restaurant feels like a little secluded spot of luxury.

Lola is a vibrant gastro-lounge bar in Cala d’Or receiving rave reviews for its range of drinks and instagrammable food, making it a must for any visitor to the area.

Mallorca’s fun-seekers, foodies and fashionistas gather at Nikki Beach’s world-famous champagne brunch every Sunday. This brunch bonanza is an all-you-can-eat feast with two hours’ worth of unlimited champagne.

On a wet, rainy night we set off to sample some tapas in Pollensa and I had a place in mind, La Botigueta. Found at number 1 Carrer Temple, in the narrow, windy streets of the historic centre of Pollensa, behind the main church square.

Situated at the very bottom of the 365 Calvari steps in with a massive outdoor seating area La Scalinata is a people watchers paradise.

Every city needs at least one great steak house. Last night I found Palma's. Just off Plaza Espana in the Placa Comte Rosello is the Rodeo Grill where they specialise in steak. Be it T-Bone, entrecôte, sirloin or chateaubriand this is the place to go for a steak in Palma de Mallorca.

The Frenchman and I were joined by James (creator our of our site videos) last weekend as we ventured out after a heavier-than-anticipated night in the bars of Palma. Our rather ill-timed destination was the wineries of Binissalem - it was enough to make us break out into a cold sweat. The wisdom of this choice was discussed on the journey, and was unanimously kicked into touch in favour of - you've guessed it - lunch.

Discreetly located in an unassuming street in the old town of Palma lies one of the islands most talked about restaurants. Marc Fosh is one of those celebrity chefs who has an opinion and is not afraid to share them.

With the promise of a new, fresh dining experience, Miceli restaurant in the backwater village of Selva seemed an opportunity not to be missed. Having heard about the restaurant during my visit to Selva to make Panades during Easter weekend I thought it was worth a return trip to discover what all the fuss was about.

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.
