10 Great Restaurants in Palma de Mallorca

The brainchild of the Michelin-starred chef of the same name, the Marc Fosh restaurant occupies a former 17th-century convent turned hotel and serves novel twists on time-honoured Mediterranean dishes. The menu makes use of local ingredients like Soller prawns and Mallorquin suckling pig. Treat yourself to the set menu at lunch or the tasting menu with wine pairings for dinner.

Though the menu at Marc Fosh Restaurant is updated regularly, some of our favourite dishes include braised beef cheek with a nasturtium au jus and truffled sweetbread ravioli. Make sure to reserve a table in advance.

Palma’s second restaurant to earn a Michelin star, Adrian Quetglas Restaurant boasts a skilfully crafted menu of traditional Mediterranean recipes with avant-garde flourishes. The menu changes every fortnight, with 5-course tasting menus offered for lunch and 7-course menus for dinner. The restaurant’s optional wine pairings always go down a treat.

Despite being a Michelin star holder, Adrian Quetglas Restaurant is surprisingly budget-friendly. You’ll find this diner on the Passeig de Mallorca, opposite the Teatre Municipal Catalina Valls.

At DINS Santi Taura, Michelin-starred Mallorcan-born chef Santi Taura celebrates the island’s gastronomic heritage, using local ingredients to reinvent ancient recipes as contemporary plates. Here, you can watch your meal being prepared at the chef’s table and sip drinks on the rooftop bar after dinner.

Though the menu changes frequently, popular dishes include stuffed sea snails based on an 18th-century recipe as well as Mallorcan lentils and red mullet pie with red shrimp. Book your reservation well in advance for a seat at the chef’s table.

El Camino is a concept tapas bar established by Eddie Hart, a half-Brit and half-Mallorcan that’s already made a name for himself on the London circuit. Inside this stylish tapas diner, you’ll see oak panels, coffered ceilings and mosaic tiles surrounding a long marble bar, where tasty bites are prepared right in front of you.

Tapas favourites at El Camino include garlic fried squid, slices of moist tortilla, and blistered Padrón peppers. We also recommend creative dishes like the goat’s cheese-filled fried zucchini flower. This restaurant does not take reservations, so get there early to avoid waiting for a seat.

Situated inside the Can Alomar Urban Luxury Retreat, De Tokio a Lima is a bold and hip restaurant with a fusion menu of Japanese, Peruvian and Mediterranean influences. Meals can be enjoyed on the leafy top-floor patio or in the sophisticated dining room. While most main courses are spicy, zingy and healthy, the desserts allow you to indulge yourself.

If you want to try something unique, we recommend the lobster tail with seaweed, green papaya and citrus vinaigrette or the roasted octopus with Lima-style causa and red mole. You don’t usually need a reservation, but it’s worth calling in advance for a terrace table at dinner.

QUADRAT Restaurant & Garden is the Michelin-starred eatery of the 5-star Sant Francesc Hotel Singular, where diners can dig into dishes with Mediterranean flavours and Asian accents. Budget-conscious foodies can order the 3-course lunch tasting menu, while big spenders with big stomachs can enjoy the full experience at dinner.

While all menu options are mouthwatering, we suggest trying the signature stuffed dim sum with Mallorquin suckling pig. After dinner, head to the rooftop lounge of Sant Francesc Hotel Singular to enjoy cocktails in time for sunset.

At the Fera Palma Restaurant, you can sample Mediterranean-Asian fusion cuisine in a stunning courtyard complete with palm trees and plants or the vaulted dining room, which has been given a bold post-pandemic makeover. The tasting menus explain why Fera has positioned itself at the forefront Palma’s food scene so quickly.

Prices are pretty reasonable at Fera Palma Restaurant, though you might want to splash out on wine pairings to sample up to 60 of the region’s finest beverages. Menu favourites include sea bass with orange, fennel and miso hollandaise as well as Mallorcan suckling pig dim sum.

Zaranda is a classy restaurant with a stunning rooftop terrace at the 5-star Es Príncep hotel. Its menu combines traditional Mallorcan and Mediterranean haute cuisine with Japanese and Southeast Asian influences. Creative menu favourites include veal tongue with unique sauces, petit four and gold amuse bouche.

You’ll find Zaranda near the seafront in Palma on Carrer de Bala Roja, just a few minutes’ walk from the Platja de Can Pere Antoni. It's a pricey place, but a popular one. We highly recommend reserving a table in advance.

At the contemporary and chic Forn De Sant Joan, you can sample the local cuisine and some of Palma’s best tapas in 1 of 3 dining areas: the chandelier-adorned ‘Cristal Room’, the romantic ‘Red Room’, or the welcoming main room. Most dishes showcase local ingredients and produce, and the cocktail list is just as extensive as the food menu.

If you’re in need of food recommendations at Forn De Sant Joan, we suggest the tuna tartar with guacamole, though ordering the 3-course regular menu is the best way to gain an introduction to the cuisine of Mallorca. You can also order delicious treats from the vegetarian menu.

Sadrassana is as much a feast for the eyes as the belly, thanks to its vintage mirrors, luxurious wallpaper and sparking chandeliers. It’s situated inside a 19th-century manor house that’s home to an upstairs gallery (Galeria Horrach Moya). While the restaurant’s artsy décor captures attention, it’s the mouthwatering Balearic-inspired dishes that take centre stage.

Choosing menu highlights at Sadrassana isn’t easy, but must-tries include the rack of lamb, the suckling pig, and the range of coca flatbreads. You’ll find Sadrassana in the Plaça de la Drassana less than 200 metres from the marina and the Llotja de Palma historical landmark.
