Eating out in Mallorca: three things you should know
- Mealtimes: lunch is usually eaten between 1.30 and 3.30 pm, dinner from around 9 pm. In the resorts many kitchens open earlier; in villages some close between lunch and dinner.
- Menú del día: on weekday lunchtimes many restaurants offer a set menu with a starter, main course, dessert or coffee and often a drink – usually much cheaper than à la carte.
- Tipping: a small tip is customary but not a must. The consumer organisation Consubal gives 5 to 6 per cent as a guideline; leaving cash on the little dish with the bill is more common than saying “keep the change”. If you want them to keep the change, say “Está bien”.
Where to start
Where would you like to eat in Mallorca?
In culinary terms, Mallorca offers far more than paella and tapas. In Palma today you will find a variety of restaurants ranging from Mallorcan cuisine, Italian trattorias, steakhouses and seafood to Thai, sushi, Korean and Peruvian food. Then there are the little places that make a holiday special: fish right by the harbour, breakfast in Santa Catalina, dinner with a sea view or an easy-going restaurant with children. That is why our restaurant guide does not just answer the question “Where is a good restaurant?” but helps you with your actual search: by cuisine, by location and by the occasion the meal should suit.
You can find out more about Mallorcan cuisine, specialities and typical dishes on our page Food & Drink in Mallorca.

This overview brings together all the restaurants in the city listed in our database and can be narrowed down by district, cuisine, price level, meal and occasion. That way you will find a place for the evening, breakfast before a stroll around town or a table with a view of the water – without ratings, only with verifiable information.
