Best Restaurants in Mallorca – Where Locals Eat

Away from tourist traps, Mallorca has fantastic restaurants frequented by locals and residents.

Typical Mallorcan

• Celler restaurants: Traditional eateries in old wine cellars. Large portions, fair prices.
• Ca’n Torrat: BBQ spots where you grill your own meat.
• Chiringuitos: Beach restaurants with fresh fish.

Menú del Día

Best value! 3-course lunch + drink + coffee from 10-15 euros. Most Spanish restaurants offer this weekdays (12:30-15:30).

Our picks

• Palma: Mercat de l’Olivar (fresh market food), Bar España (grandma-style tapas)
• Sóller: Sa Fàbrica de Gelats (best ice cream on the island)
• Inland: Es Verger near Alaró (famous lamb, reservation only!)
• East: S’Àmfora (Porto Cristo) – fresh fish by the harbour

Tips

• Book ahead, especially weekends and summer
• Spanish dining times: lunch 13:30-15:30, dinner 20:30-22:30
• Tipping: 5-10% is customary, not obligatory
