Top 5 Specialty Food in Balearic Islands

Carrer de Monsenyor Palmer, 6, Ponent, 07014 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

“We went here in January on a windy day, so it was cold outside. And even though all tables were reserved, they showed us that extra bit of care to find us a place away from the door. We had the Italian burrata, chickpea stew, tuna tataki, and cheesecake. The food is excellent. I especially recommend the tuna. The cheesecake was recommended by many reviewers and I have to say, I developed a love/hate relationship with it. I loved the full, creamy taste but hated when there was nothing left.”

C. de la Fàbrica, 25, Ponent, 07013 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

“We had an absolute fabulous time. The food was 10/10. Our service (thank you Cora for your lovely hospitality & great suggestions!) was 10/10 and the atmosphere we enjoyed was fantastic. Best way to send off a friend on a great adventure. Highly recommend this spot for an event / dinner/ farewell / local experience. Thank you!”

Plaça de Raimundo Clar, 6, Centre, 07002 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

“What a great experience to have. Wanted anything but more tapas and to find this little gem was a great interdiction to Palma. Service was very attentive and welcoming. Chief was on it and because we were at the bar we got the pleasure of watching him do is magic. This was a great over all experience and atmosphere. Don’t be shocked to see us again!”

Carrer de Sant Cristòfol, 16, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears, Spain

“By far one of the best, wines, menu and service. Mussels beurre blanc was excellent and original. Great selection of wines by the glass, much research into searching small quality productions, a must do in Ibiza”

Av. de s'Albufera, 23, 07458 Muro, Illes Balears, Spain

“Very long tasting menu. Strong start with amazing tapas, a nice selection of vermuts. My favorite was the duck & fig. I was feeling full before getting to the main courses and couldn’t enjoy those. Overall good experience, but maybe would be good to have a smaller version of the tasting menu”

Pg. de Mallorca, 32, Centre, 07012 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

“For sure, it's one of the best poke places on the island! The food is delicious. When you enter and go to the line, you can pick from a very vast menu with many options, such as a vegan option, quinoa and salmon, etc... You can pick from one of the bowls that has the ingredients already picked out for you, or you can make your own which allows you to choose your source of protein, carbs and other toppings, such as dried onion, avocado, coconut, peanuts, etc... There are 2 sizes, a small and a large one. However, I do have to say that the prices are a bit high for what it actually is. Some can reach 16 euros depending on what you chose. Other than that, I really recommend trying Ola Poke out, you won't regret it!”

Carrer de Caro, 11, Ponent, 07013 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

“Generous sized portions of fresh sushi and delicious bowl of noodles. The Wok Yaki sauce was slightly too rich for me, but this is personal taste. The ambience was stylish and modern and the waitress was attentive. A good option if you are in the area.”

Plaça de Pare Camps, 21, 07740 Es Mercadal, Illes Balears, Spain

“It’s just beautiful when you can taste the love and passion for cooking in the food you eat. The reviews were promising, however I wash my expected to be as impressed as I was - everything from the place, the service and (especially) the food we ordered was simply perfect. Saved and definitely coming back! P.S. You absolutely DO want dessert, no matter how full you are. The fried truffles with the coconut ice cream are just wow, in so many ways.”

Carrer Illa des Bosc, 2, 07829 Sant Agustí des Vedrà, Illes Balears, Spain

“Absolutely amazing host and staff. They’re super helpful! The food was amazing. Turbo and the cheesecake are must try! Couldn’t recommend more.”

Cami Des Pla de Corona, Km. 2, 07828 Santa Agnès de Corona, Balearic Islands, Spain

“Drive into Santa Agnés to the T junction and turn left at the sign for Cafeteria Can Jordi. Follow the road for 1.5 km until you come across a wooden restaurant set in a pine forest with fantastic clifftops views and sunsets. Particularly good basic Ibicencan fish dishes Paella Fideuà (a pasta paella) Open until 10.30 pm from 1st July until the end of September. Rest of the year lunch only (kitchen closes at 5 pm).”

Camí de la Vileta, 39, 2ª Planta, Poniente, 07011 Palma, Balearic Islands, Spain

“Yesterday we went to Xino's for the first time for the Christmas menu. In addition to the usual reservation confirmations, we received a call in advance asking us to come 15 minutes early for a Christmas aperitif. We were on time, the restaurant was already busy and we waited 20 minutes before we could order. Christmas aperitif not available. We were able to order our aperitifs normally. We wanted to drink a bottle of wine with the menu and asked the waiter for a recommendation for a bottle of white wine. Our default, dry, heavy, preferably from Mallorca, like to drink Chardonnay. First the waiter came with a bottle of red wine. We were just able to prevent the bottle from being opened. Afterwards we were given a Chardonnay, an expensive fake that didn't fit the menu at all. To no aisle. We were very disappointed. The food was good, it's a great location - but the service doesn't live up to the restaurant's standards, at least at Christmas.”

Passeig de Sagrera, 3, Centre, 07012 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

“Really nice tapas served with a modern twist. Great seating outside and inside options. Didn't photograph everything but it was nice. The baby squid would be great with a dipping sauce (they don't provide, just lemon) and the zucchini dish was FANTASTIC!”

Carrer Isidor Macabich, 36, 07840 Santa Eulària des Riu, Illes Balears, Spain

“Wow! Amazing food & very generous portions. Tuna tartare was outstanding as was the prawn ceviche ❤️. We shared monkfish & a salad & could not have fitted 2 mains in!”

Carrer del Mestre Joan Mayans, 6, 07800 Eivissa, Illes Balears, Spain

“Simply some of the best Gelato I have ever had, and if you read my reviews you will see I have tried a lot! I went for the Dark Chocolate Orange and Mango, my wife had Lime & Basil and Passion Fruit, both were fabulous. Generous portions at a very reasonable price, lovely setting and great staff. Also, excellent coffee to boot. You simply must visit here if you are on Ibiza.”

Ctra. de Capdella, 5, 07195 Puigpunyent, Illes Balears, Spain

“Great location with beautiful views. The service is not the quickest as only one person ( it seemed like the owner is managing everything). The food is amazing just be prepared to wait a bit longer. Highly recommended.”

Carrer de Servet, 15, Ponent, 07013 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

“⭐️ Your foody dreams come true ⭐️ Here you will get an excellent service combined with a nice and familiar atmosphere plus incredible food. We went here on Monday evening and had the best time ever. The food was just out of this world - the duck meat was like butter. They have a great drink menu and good IPA. I will definitiv come back next time I am in Palma. Tip: If you reserve your table through the google maps reservation link you get -30% on your meal (just the first time), but this is crazy! Try it out, they put the discount on the bill automatically.”

Carrer Oleza, 4, 07320 Santa Maria del Camí, Illes Balears, Spain

“Typical Spanish tapa bar with good service. Food is typical Mallorcan with mixed Tapa plates for brunch. Prices are geared for the Mallorcan public and quite low.”

Carrer de la Talaia, 16A, 07160 Peguera, Illes Balears, Spain

“I love this place! Such a hidden gem. The old man running the place is really sweet and welcoming. The food is really good. Definitely would recommend if you want to have a chill and great food experience!”

C. de Manacor, 27, Llevant, 07006 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

“The food I ate here was probably the best food I ate on holiday in Mallorca by far. The staff was super friendly and very accommodating. I wasn't very familiar with local cuisine and the staff had some great recommendations for if I wanted tradition food local to Mallorca. They were very happy to show off their menu. I only saw locals here so it's not crowded with tourists. It was a little hard to find. Very easy to just walk by this restaurant and not know it's there. Honestly just a great experience overall. I highly recommend, and i absolutely would eat here again.”

Plaça del Comtat del Rosselló, s/n, Centre, 07002 Palma, Illes Balears, Spain

“Fantastic service and food. Loved the tarta de chocolate. Good wine! Coffee could be better :)”
