Palma Eating
Eating and drinking is one of the favourite past times of Palmas occupants and visitors. Below we've selected a very small number out of the very large choice of restaurants. We've eaten in them all and hence can reccommend them from real experience.
Es Baluard - Placa Port de Santa Catalina, 9.
Not to be confused with the Museum, this restaurant offers an excellent Mallorcan eating experience by serving traditional dishes with a contemporary twist. A typical selection from the menu might include a parfait of wild mushrooms, roasted pork in a honey sauce, cod served a la mallorquina (with tomatoes and peppers) and yummy puddings. Price per head is around 40€ (without drinks). This has the reputation for serving the best Mallorcan food in Palma.

Es Convent Refectori – C/Missio 7A
Based in the hotel Es Convent (which takes minimalism to the extreme but is still beautiful). The food is fabulous and utilises seasonal ingredients to create a contemporary mouth-watering menu. Starters may include mushroom cappuccino soup, fois gras with Pedro Ximenez sherry. Main courses can include Turbot with Mediterranean vegetables, steak with truffled potatoes. All very lovely and tasty and reputedly one of the finest restaurants in town. About 65 Euros a head plus wine.
Tel 971 72 60 26.
La Bodeguilla - C/San Jaime,3
Calling itself a Salamanca restaurant the food served is modern Spanish cuisine and may include white blood sausage in a broth, a version of tapas for even the most hungry and tender steaks and meats cooked to your liking. Big white plates suit the stylish, rich interior and with its central but quiet location is perfect for those looking for something off the beaten track.

Fabrica 23 – C/Contoner
This is a funky modern restaurant serving fantastic contemporary food the blends Mallorcan cuisine with European influences. The menu del dia is superb but requires reservations. The British chef Alexei Tarsey has bought his own style to the menu and it really is one of the best restaurants in Palma. Reservations are essential.

Bahia Meiterranaeo - Passeig Maritim, 33
Open daily from mid-day to mid-night this is a real taste of good old fashioned elegance set with an amazing view across the marina. The view stretches across to the Cathedral and is a superb setting for a romantic, top end dinner. The menu is mainly fish related and if you are looking for good old fashioned style service this takes some beating.

In one of Palma's up-and-coming areas, near the Santa Catalina market, this is a tiny and intimate restaurant with a growing reputation.

Fresh, Mediterranean food prepared, and oftern served by the young Madrileno chef. Book in advance for Saturday lunch time, and allow plenty of time to find a car parking space!
