Restaurants & Bars

Mallorcan cuisine, typical of the Mediterranean, has a rich culinary tradition that reflects the influence of various cultures over the centuries. Here are some highlights of Mallorcan cuisine:

Sobrasada: This is one of Mallorca’s most iconic products. It is a smooth, spreadable sausage made from pork, bacon, paprika, and salt.

Ensaïmada: This is another icon of Mallorcan pastries. The ensaïmada is a kind of sweet spiral pastry that can be filled with angel hair, cream, chocolate, or simply sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Tumbet: A vegetarian dish consisting of layers of eggplant, potato, bell pepper, and tomato, all roasted and often accompanied by a tomato and garlic sauce.

Frito Mallorquín: This typical dish consists of lamb or pork, potatoes, peppers, and peas, all fried in olive oil.

Rice dishes: Given Mallorca’s location, rice dishes are very popular. Paella is common, but there are also other variations such as arroz brut, a kind of rice soup with meat and vegetables.

Gató: This is an almond cake traditionally served with almond ice cream. It is also sometimes accompanied by an apricot sauce called “salsa de la reina” (queen’s sauce).

Coca de Trampó: A type of Mallorcan pizza topped with tomato, bell pepper, onion, and olives.

Cheeses: Mallorca produces a variety of cheeses, with Mahón cheese being one of the best known.
