A lovely lunch time spot, set back from the very idilic coast offering a cafe & a shaded restaurant terrace upstairs. I can't remember what I ate, but it was surely a simple catch of the day...

This is the new 2018 hot 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. No bookings

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.
