Breakfast on Mallorca: Spanish-style or brunch
Spanish-style means café con leche, tostada with tomato – and rarely before 08:00.
Many cafés in Palma serve breakfast until early afternoon.
The short answer
Breakfast on Mallorca: Spanish-style or brunch
A Spanish breakfast consists of café con leche and a tostada with tomato or jamón and usually costs 4 to 8 euros. Elaborate brunch menus are mainly found in Palma, especially in Santa Catalina, where they start at around 12 euros.
Breakfast on Mallorca is traditionally small. In villages, cafés often don't open until around 08:00; in tourist resorts, earlier.
If you are looking for a Western European-style brunch with eggs, bowls and specialty coffee, you will find it almost exclusively in Palma and a few coastal resorts.
Open all year round
Practical tips
- Tostada con tomate is the cheapest and most reliable place to start.
- At weekends in Santa Catalina, you have no chance of a table without a reservation.
- Skipping the hotel breakfast almost always pays off price-wise if there is a café within walking distance.
