This is such a lovely place. A bit up market & not easy to get to, but go for lunch on a nice day. Paella for 2 & a bottle of nice cold white wine. You will understand why I like it - check it is open before going however...

I like the bar, the view of the Port, the friendly staff & the well executed user friendly culinary offerings. Perfect with kids, great any time, especially mid afternoon outside the summer months on the terrace. Honestly.

This was the new hot 2018 Mallorquine place in Palma. One long bar, fun wines, food busily prepared across the counter. Modern, delicious & fun. El Camino is the proverbial cats whiskers & unfortunately has made it into flight mags so pick your moment or face the hateful prospect of a queue. Eddie Hart, local boy made good in London with Barafina etc is raising the level very significantly. Go solo or as a couple, lunch being an easier option. There are a few stand up places at the back. Bookings recommended.

If you were going to Miro's house this fish, just fish restaurant is not far, very good & loved by all for its fair prices - so go early & beat the queue. (the owner is or was a fisherman). They take bookings but this simply indicates you will get a table. Eventually.

The great new location for the historic Caves Tunnel. Go here for intermediate priced wines with quality & character. The large range proposed is almost exclusively Mallorquine & Spanish - rightly so - but they also have spirits & an extensive range of their own liquors.
