One of my most memorable dining experiences in Mallorca has to be that at Dins by Santi Taura. I loved Santi’s personal artistic touch in everything we experienced during our 11 course menu at his Michelin star restaurant . Santi focuses on local Mallorcan cuisine and brings it into the 21st century.
Beyond that, every course was served on ceramic dishes made by this multi-talented chef. We dined at the chef’s table, while looking at a stunning large painting of the Cathedral, also painted by Santi. In an unlikely event that he ever gets bored of cooking, it would not surprise me to see Santi’s paintings or ceramics at one of the future art nights in Palma! Another fine dining restaurant where I was impressed by the food and the art in equal measures was Emilio Innobar.
This place is usually booked long in advance, so I was thrilled when I finally scored a table thanks to Shane from Connected Mallorca. Sabine, the warm and slightly chaotic front-of-house, made us feel at home. The fish wrapped in pancake and Korean beef were standout dishes for me, blending Mediterranean, Mexican, and Asian flavours.
The restaurant’s striking art on every wall adds a unique touch to the classy yet intimate atmosphere of the place. I discovered La Rosa Vermuterìa & Colmado last year on a Food Tour Mallorca, and it’s quickly become a favourite for a quick bite. Tucked away near La Caixa Forum, the queues outside hint at the great tapas and lively atmosphere inside.
The cosy, charact.
