A Friday night is never a good night to be sat at home in Palma, with no food in the fridge, and no real thought about where would be good to grab a nice meal. The Frenchman and I pondered our choices from the comfort of the sofa, knowing that as soon as we stepped outside we would be destined to trample the streets for at least an hour searching for a mutually acceptable restaurant.
The centre of Palma has a wealth of restaurants and tapas bars as you might expect from a major Spanish city.
The Frenchman is one of those people who puts great store by awards and medals, so when we did a search of Mallorca's best restaurants, and saw that a restaurant called Koldo Royo had held a Michelin star for 18 years, it went straight to the top of our list. Run by a chef of the same name, Koldo Royo had gained rave reviews and was considered a flagship restaurant in Palma. I said that I was sure it had closed down a couple of years ago. Nonsense, said the Frenchman, showing me pages from the web with reviews and contact details for the restaurant.
The brunching concept has been taking the world by storm and Mallorca is no exception. If you're after a long and lazy brunch with family or friends on any day of the week, then there are quite a few fantastic places popping up all over the island.
Whether you want to immerse yourself in traditional Mallorcan culture, you are looking to do a food shop or even seeking a casual spot to enjoy lunch, Mercat de l’Olivar is your one-stop-shop.
On a very windy day in February, we wondered up the sea front in Port de Soller looking for some good tapas and a nice spot to shelter from the weather. Sa Barca filled both of these needs.
The Frenchman recently had a couple of his countrymen over to visit for the weekend. Parisian to boot, the pressure was on to find somewhere suitably ‘chic et sophistiqué, cherie' to impress our visitors on a Friday night in Mallorca.
As I spend more time on the island, every now and again I find myself craving some British home comforts. One afternoon, I was lusting after tea with scones and, within seconds, my trusty friend Google recommended the Belmond La Residencia’s "Tea with Miró" so I made a reservation for 15:30 the following day.
Port de Soller is one of our favorite places in Mallorca. It’s stunning horseshoe bay has turquoise blue waters and is framed beautifully by the surrounding Tramuntana mountains.
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’.
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.
Easter Sunday, I wanted to do it how the locals do it! My Mallorquina friend recommended we visit Los Patos restaurant, a cultural landmark located in an old rice drying warehouse in the area of Port d'Alcúdia. She insisted it had been a firm favourite for her family for a number of years and served up some of the best traditional Mallorcan food the island has to offer.
Summer in Mallorca has just got much more interesting for all the foodies visiting the island. Chef Fernando Pérez Arellano, from Michelin-starred restaurant Zaranda is opening a new restaurant in Puerto Portals.
As the world continues to embrace a more mindful appetite with sustainability at its core, you'll be pleased to hear that Mallorca hasn’t been left behind. In fact, the island boasts a huge variety of restaurants, bars and cafes offering nutritious organic produce, with integrated awareness, less consumption and reduced harm to the planet.
The Canadian knows what she likes and she likes what she knows. After enjoying spaghetti bolognese at Tanto Amore a few months ago, whenever I have suggested getting Italian food or even just eating out in Mallorca, she has suggested a return to Santa Catalina.
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.
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.
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.
