FOOD & TRAVEL GUIDE FOR PALMA & MALLORCA

Looking for the ultimate travel and food guide for Palma and Mallorca? As a foodie I’m always in search for the best (plant-based friendly) restaurants and was thus so eager to explore the island’s stunning landscapes. I checked out many vegan-friendly dining spots, the best speciality coffee shops, work-friendly cafes, yoga spots, hidden gems, and beaches that make Mallorca a Mediterranean paradise.

However, as our time was limited and there are just soooo many places you can go to I added more spots, which we haven’t tried (yet) below and also included more places in my good maps list for Mallorca here. You might also be interested in my post about our time in Mallorca on my Instagram account here.

I hope this little guide helps you to plan your next vacation to this stunning island!

Lots of love,

Clement (Cala d’Or)
We actually got stuck in Cala d’Or first with rain and wanted thus to enjoy a nice coffee and pastry until it stops. We were so happy to find Clement where they did not only more than satisfy our caffeine cravings but also served tasty pastries, breakfast, lunch and small treats. The owners were really lovely and the whole ambience super nice!

Further spots which were recommended to me:

El Perrito
Solo Santa Catalina
Noti
Mama Carmen´s

where to go for (vegan) lunch, sunset & dinner

Restaurant Illeta
One of the most special lunch and dinner spots for sure on the island. Of course the price is slightly higher than at other spots, however, the restaurant is really unique as it is located on a small island which you can reach by foot from the beach. Also the food was exceptional as their seafood paella. Make sure to reserve your table well in advance as it is fully booked quickly. I recommend to get the table for sunset so you can enjoy the beautiful setting both during daylight before dinner.

Bistro Calle Cruz 20
If you’re looking for a lovely lunch or dinner location in Campos you shall not miss this lovely spot. We enjoyed their lunch menu a lot, the portion size was really big and the quality amazing. Also the service was exceptionally friendly and we loved the aesthetic setting in their calm garden. Next to the restaurant there’s also a small boutique shop with clothes, tableware etc.

Groenk Bistro & Grill Fornalutx
Nestled in the Tramuntana mountains in the beautiful village of Fornalutx, Groenk is a true paradise for grill lovers. Incredible burgers, the best steaks of the island, fresh seafood - all prepared on a charcoal grill combined with their tasty desserts and a perfect tinto de verano in a lovely, relaxed setting. They also have a second restaurant in Deià, which is definitely next on my list. Highly recommend Groenk!

La Previa Palma: this lovely new hotspot serves delicious authentic tapas and tasty wines, refreshing sangrias & vermut (served with olives). The menu includes patatas bravas with a twist, all time favorite croquetas, tortillas (we loved the truffle version!), bodegas (must try!), and pimientos and modern tapas such as hummus or fresh burrata. The staff is super lovely, the atmosphere really inviting & I would highly recommend your visit and make sure to reserve in advance!
