Whether you're spending a long weekend in Palma or a full month along the coast, knowing where to eat in Mallorca can make or break your trip. The island's food scene has evolved well beyond tourist menus – today you'll find everything from Michelin-starred tasting menus to family-run chiringuitos serving the freshest catch of the day.
Here are 12 restaurants worth booking this summer.
1. Ca Na Toneta – Caimari
Tucked into the foothills of the Serra de Tramuntana, Ca Na Toneta is a farm-to-table restaurant run by two sisters using almost exclusively local ingredients. The tasting menu changes with the seasons – expect wild herbs, slow-cooked lamb, and produce from their own garden. Book well ahead.
2. DINS Santi Taura – Palma
Chef Santi Taura earned Mallorca's first Michelin star at this intimate Palma restaurant. The multi-course menu reimagines traditional Mallorcan recipes with precision and creativity. It's a masterclass in island cuisine – don't skip the tumbet.
3. Aromata – Palma
Chef Andreu Genestra's Palma outpost brings refined Mediterranean cooking to the heart of the old town. The menu leans heavily on seasonal Balearic produce, and the courtyard setting is one of the most atmospheric in the city.
4. El Camino – Palma
For something more casual, El Camino in Santa Catalina serves some of the best tacos and small plates on the island. The vibe is relaxed, the cocktails are excellent, and it's the kind of place you'll end up going back to three times in one trip.
5. Zaranda – Es Capdellà
Mallorca's only two-Michelin-star restaurant, Zaranda delivers a world-class tasting experience in a stunning hilltop setting. Chef Fernando Pérez Arellano's menu is inventive without being pretentious – think foie gras with Mallorcan almonds and Mediterranean red prawn with saffron.
6. Ca's Patro March – Deià
Perched on the cliffs below Deià, this seafood restaurant is as much about the setting as the food. Fresh fish, simply grilled, served on a terrace overlooking the cove. Arrive by boat if you can – or book early and take the steep path down.
7. Bens d'Avall – Sóller
Another clifftop gem between Sóller and Deià, Bens d'Avall has been serving creative Mediterranean cuisine for over 50 years. The panoramic sea views from the terrace are unforgettable, and the fish dishes are consistently outstanding.
8. Fera – Palma
A relative newcomer to Palma's dining scene, Fera focuses on natural wines and seasonal small plates. The menu is short, the ingredients are impeccable, and the atmosphere is effortlessly cool. Perfect for a long dinner with friends.
9. Restaurante Es Racó d'es Teix – Deià
Set in a beautiful stone house in Deià, Es Racó d'es Teix holds a Michelin star for its refined take on Mediterranean cooking. The garden terrace is idyllic – one of those places where lunch stretches well into the afternoon.
10. La Fortaleza – Port de Pollença
Located inside the Cap Rocat fortress, this restaurant pairs sweeping views of the Bay of Pollença with a menu that showcases the best of Mallorcan seafood. It's a splurge, but the setting is extraordinary.
11. Moli des Torrent – Santa Maria del Camí
A beautifully converted windmill in the centre of the island, Moli des Torrent serves modern Mallorcan cuisine in a garden setting. The Sunday lunch is legendary among locals – arrive hungry.
12. Es Verger – Alaró
The polar opposite of fine dining, Es Verger is a rustic mountain restaurant at the foot of Castell d'Alaró. There's no menu – you get slow-roasted lamb, bread, olives, and local wine. It's an experience you won't forget, and the hike up adds to the charm.
