Introduction

The Mallorca Fine Dining List We Send to Friends

DINS Santi Taura, Restaurante Zaranda and Marc Fosh are Palma's three Michelin-starred restaurants, each carrying 1 Star from the Michelin Guide. Aromata, Adrián Quetglas, Quadrat and Óseo are listed as Selected, the guide's recognition for restaurants worth a stop that fall short of, or currently sit without, a star. Casa Maruka, Fera, Clandestí Taller Gastronòmic and Botànic round out the list with Repsol Sol or Recomendado listings and tasting-menu formats.

A Guide to Fine Dining in Mallorca

The scene

Palma's fine-dining core sits inside and around the old town. DINS Santi Taura is a few steps from the Cathedral in Sa Calatrava, Marc Fosh occupies a former seminary in the old town, and Quadrat and Botànic both work out of old-town hotel mansions. Restaurante Zaranda, Adrián Quetglas and Casa Maruka sit just outside the old town's edges, on or near Passeig de Mallorca and Plaça d'Espanya. Fera and Clandestí both work from unusual former buildings, a historic social club and a converted garage, while Óseo sits further out in Es Secar de la Real, a quiet neighbourhood on the city's edge.

Michelin Star vs Michelin Selected in Palma

DINS Santi Taura, Restaurante Zaranda and Marc Fosh each hold 1 Star from the Michelin Guide. Aromata, Adrián Quetglas, Quadrat and Óseo are listed as Selected, meaning they appear in the guide without holding a star. Adrián Quetglas held a star from 2016 until losing it in the 2025 Michelin Guide, and remains Selected.

Which Palma restaurants hold a Repsol Sol?

DINS Santi Taura carries 2 Soles, the most on this list. Restaurante Zaranda, Marc Fosh, Aromata and Casa Maruka each hold 1 Sol. Adrián Quetglas, Fera, Clandestí Taller Gastronòmic and Botànic carry Guía Repsol's Recomendado listing, one tier below a Sol.

How We Built This List

Years of Eating, Asking, and Going Back

We drew this list from Guidavera's own verified Palma restaurant data, filtering for Michelin-starred, Michelin Selected, Repsol Sol or Recomendado, and high-end tasting-menu restaurants inside Palma municipality. Es Fum, in Costa d'en Blanes, and 365 at Son Brull, near Pollença, are Michelin-recognised restaurants on Mallorca but sit outside Palma city, so they're left off this list. Casual bars, grills and bistros that also carry a Michelin Selected or Repsol listing, including Little Jarana, BàrBar Mallorca, Stagier Bar and La Bodeguilla, aren't included here because they read as informal dining rather than fine dining; several appear on our separate Best Tapas in Palma guide instead. Es Balcó de Son Vida and Mombo are noted as honourable mentions rather than ranked entries, because our verified data doesn't yet include a Michelin or Repsol listing for either.

DINS Santi Taura sits on the ground floor of the El Llorenç Parc de la Mar hotel, a few steps from Palma Cathedral in the historic Sa Calatrava quarter. It carries 1 Star from the Michelin Guide, a distinction it has held since 2020, and 2 Soles from Guía Repsol. The whole restaurant is built around a single 11-course tasting menu, Origens, drawing on historic Balearic recipes, so there's no à la carte to weigh up. Diners choose between the Chef's Bar, where you watch the dishes come together in front of you, or a table in the dining room.

Restaurante Zaranda carries 1 Star from the Michelin Guide and 1 Sol from Guía Repsol.

Today Zaranda occupies its own separate entrance inside the Es Príncep hotel in Palma's old quarter, with the dining room set over the remains of a former tannery. The cooking is contemporary Balearic, built on local meats, fish and produce, served through two tasting menus, 'A flor de piel' and 'Plena flor', with wine pairings offered alongside each.

Clandestí carries a Recomendado listing from Guía Repsol. It opened in May 2016 in a former garage on Carrer Guillem Massot, in Palma's Bons Aires area, where Pau Navarro first ran cooking classes at a long counter before turning it into a restaurant. The room seats around 12 at a single counter facing the kitchen, with no printed carta; Navarro and Ariadna Salvador write a fresh tasting menu every day off what they bring back from the market. Because the kitchen cooks for the diners it's expecting rather than walk-ins, booking ahead matters.

Repsol Recommended

Botànic carries a Recomendado listing from Guía Repsol. It's the restaurant inside Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden, a hotel hidden among the noble mansions of Palma's old town, with dining rooms opening onto what the hotel describes as the largest private garden in the old quarter, or indoors among vines and books. It opened as Mallorca's first plant-forward restaurant, with vegetables leading the plate and fish and meat in a supporting role. In June 2026, chef Jhonatan Maldonado took over the kitchen, ending that earlier plant-forward era, so ask about the current menu direction before booking.

The bigger picture

The Fine Dining Scene in Mallorca

Palma's fine-dining core sits inside and around the old town. DINS Santi Taura is a few steps from the Cathedral in Sa Calatrava, Marc Fosh occupies a former seminary in the old town, and Quadrat and Botànic both work out of old-town hotel mansions. Restaurante Zaranda, Adrián Quetglas and Casa Maruka sit just outside the old town's edges, on or near Passeig de Mallorca and Plaça d'Espanya. Fera and Clandestí both work from unusual former buildings, a historic social club and a converted garage, while Óseo sits further out in Es Secar de la Real, a quiet neighbourhood on the city's edge.

Practical tips

Know before you go

A short survival guide for eating fine dining in Mallorca— everything we wish we’d known on our first trip.

  1. 1

    Michelin recognition covers a spectrum here

    DINS Santi Taura, Restaurante Zaranda and Marc Fosh hold a Michelin Star. Aromata, Adrián Quetglas, Quadrat and Óseo are listed as Selected, meaning they appear in the Michelin Guide without holding a star or Bib Gourmand.

  2. 2

    Tasting menus are the default format

    DINS Santi Taura and Clandestí Taller Gastronòmic each serve a single fixed tasting menu with no à la carte option. Zaranda and Marc Fosh each offer a choice of tasting menus at different lengths.

  3. 3

    Prices span a wide range

    Aromata and Adrián Quetglas sit at €26-50 per person, the most accessible entries here. DINS Santi Taura, Restaurante Zaranda, Óseo and Botànic all run Over €100 per person.

  4. 4

    Clandestí books around its daily menu, not walk-ins

    Pau Navarro and Ariadna Salvador write a fresh tasting menu every day off the morning market and cook for the diners they're expecting, so reserve ahead rather than trying to walk in.

  5. 5

    A few listings have shifted recently

    Adrián Quetglas lost its Michelin star in the 2025 guide but remains Selected, and Botànic moved on from its original plant-forward concept under a new chef in June 2026. Confirm the current menu direction before booking either.
