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. > "Three of Palma's restaurants, DINS Santi Taura, Restaurante Zaranda and Marc Fosh, hold a Michelin star, and four more, Aromata, Adrián Quetglas, Quadrat and Óseo, are listed as Michelin Selected." ## How we built this list 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. ## The 11 best Fine Dining, compared | # | Restaurant | Neighbourhood | Price | Distinction | Signature dish | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | [DINS Santi Taura](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/dins-santi-taura-dins-by-santi-taura) | Palma | €€€€ | Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 2 Soles | — | | 2 | [Restaurante Zaranda](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurante-zaranda) | Palma | €€€€ | Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 1 Sol | — | | 3 | [Marc Fosh](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/marc-fosh) | Palma | €€€ | Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 1 Sol | — | | 4 | [Aromata](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/aromata) | Palma | €€ | Michelin Selected · Repsol 1 Sol | — | | 5 | [Casa Maruka](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/casa-maruka) | Palma | €€€ | Repsol 1 Sol | — | | 6 | [Adrián Quetglas](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/adrian-quetglas) | Palma | €€ | Michelin Selected · Repsol Recomendado | — | | 7 | [Quadrat](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/quadrat-restaurant-and-garden-at-sant-francesc-hotel-singular) | Palma | €€€ | Michelin Selected | — | | 8 | [Óseo](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/oseo-restaurante-chef-david-morillas) | Es Secar de la Real | €€€€ | Michelin Selected | Boneless pork trotters with purée and bone broth | | 9 | [Fera](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/fera) | Palma | €€€ | Repsol Recomendado | — | | 10 | [Clandestí Taller Gastronòmic](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/clandesti-taller-gastronomic) | Palma | €€€ | Repsol Recomendado | — | | 11 | [Botànic](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/botanic-can-bordoy-grand-house-and-garden) | Palma | €€€€ | Repsol Recomendado | — | ## The 11 best Fine Dining in Mallorca ### 1.

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. ### 2. Restaurante Zaranda *A Michelin-starred tasting-menu restaurant set inside a former tannery in Palma's old quarter.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** Hotel Es Princep, Carrer Bala Roja 1, 07001 Palma de Mallorca, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 1 Sol - **Website:** https://zaranda.es - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurante-zaranda Restaurante Zaranda carries 1 Star from the Michelin Guide and 1 Sol from Guía Repsol. Chef Fernando Pérez Arellano opened the restaurant in Madrid in 2005 and won a Michelin star there within a year, then moved it to Mallorca, where it held two stars at Castell Son Claret near Es Capdellà from 2016. 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. ### 3. Marc Fosh *A Michelin-starred restaurant inside a 17th-century former seminary in Palma's old town.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** Carrer de la Missió 7A, 07003 Palma, Spain - **Price:** €€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin 1-Star · Repsol 1 Sol - **Website:** https://www.marcfosh.com - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/marc-fosh Marc Fosh carries 1 Star from the Michelin Guide and 1 Sol from Guía Repsol. The restaurant sits inside the Convent de la Missió, a 17th-century former missionary seminary turned boutique hotel in Palma's old town, and was previously known as Simply Fosh before taking the chef's name. British chef Marc Fosh trained in London and under Martín Berasategui in San Sebastián, and holds the distinction of being the first British chef to earn a Michelin star in Spain, first won in 2002 at Read's Hotel. The kitchen serves contemporary Mediterranean cooking built around clean flavours and seasonal Balearic ingredients, offered as tasting menus at a few different lengths and price points for lunch and dinner. ### 4. Aromata *Andreu Genestra's Michelin Selected, Repsol Sol counterpart to his starred restaurant, now inside a Palma hotel.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** Carrer de Ramón y Cajal 12, 07011 Palma de Mallorca, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Distinction:** Michelin Selected · Repsol 1 Sol - **Website:** https://aromatarestaurant.com - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/aromata Aromata is listed as Selected in the Michelin Guide and carries 1 Sol from Guía Repsol.

It first opened in 2014 in the courtyard of the Centre de Cultura de Sa Nostra, then moved in late 2024 to the ground floor of the HM Palma Blanc hotel on Carrer Ramón y Cajal in central Palma. The cooking is contemporary Mallorcan, built around the best local Balearic ingredients available on the day. ### 5. Casa Maruka *A Repsol Sol restaurant of market-driven Spanish home cooking on a century-old Mallorcan estate.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** C. Reina María Cristina, 7, 07004 Palma de Mallorca, Spain - **Price:** €€€ - **Distinction:** Repsol 1 Sol - **Website:** https://restaurantecasamaruka.es - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/casa-maruka Casa Maruka carries 1 Sol from Guía Repsol, first awarded in 2022 and held since. It opened in 2007 in a restored house on a century-old Mallorcan estate near Plaça d'Espanya, run by María José Calabria, from La Mancha, and Alberto Serrano, from Mallorca, who met working at Lasarte in 1999 and later cooked together at Es Porxo before going out on their own. The kitchen is built around market-driven home cooking, stews and spoon dishes, rather than tasting-menu theatre. ### 6. Adrián Quetglas *A Michelin Selected, Repsol Recomendado bistro serving haute cuisine at bistro prices.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** Passeig de Mallorca 20, 07012 Palma, Spain - **Price:** €€ - **Distinction:** Michelin Selected · Repsol Recomendado - **Website:** https://adrianquetglas.es - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/adrian-quetglas Adrián Quetglas runs his namesake restaurant on Passeig de Mallorca, overlooking the Torrent de Sa Riera. It won a Michelin star in 2016 and held it for several years before losing it in the 2025 Michelin Guide; it remains listed as Selected and carries a Recomendado listing from Guía Repsol. The pitch is haute cuisine at bistro prices, creative cooking rooted in Mediterranean flavours. Quetglas has said he respected the guide's decision and felt 2025 was the highest point of the restaurant's trajectory. ### 7. Quadrat *A Michelin Selected restaurant in the old stables of a Palma old-town hotel mansion.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** Plaça de Sant Francesc, 5, 07001 Palma de Mallorca, Spain - **Price:** €€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin Selected - **Website:** https://www.hotelsantfrancesc.com/en/gastronomy/quadrat-restaurant - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/quadrat-restaurant-and-garden-at-sant-francesc-hotel-singular Quadrat is listed as Selected in the Michelin Guide. It's the restaurant of the Sant Francesc Hotel Singular, a Palma mansion in the old town just off Plaça de Sant Francesc, with the dining room set in what were the mansion's old stables and opening onto a garden-patio that doubles as a terrace. The space is split into three areas, with an entrance directly on the square. The kitchen serves contemporary Mediterranean cooking through tasting menus. ### 8. Óseo *A Michelin Selected nose-to-tail restaurant from a chef trained at Disfrutar and El Celler de Can Roca.* - **Neighbourhood:** Es Secar de la Real - **Address:** Plaça Pare Antoni Ramon Pasqual, 9, 07010 Es Secar de la Real, Palma de Mallorca, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Distinction:** Michelin Selected - **Website:** https://oseorestaurante.com/en - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/oseo-restaurante-chef-david-morillas Óseo is listed as Selected in the Michelin Guide. It's chef David Morillas's first restaurant, opened in autumn 2024 in Es Secar de la Real, a quiet neighbourhood on the edge of Palma, after Morillas trained at Disfrutar, El Celler de Can Roca and Hofmann. The whole place, down to the decor, is built around a nose-to-tail idea, using as much as possible from each ingredient; the name itself means 'bony' in Spanish. Dishes include boneless pork trotters served with a purée and a broth made from the bones themselves. **Order:** - Boneless pork trotters with purée and bone broth ### 9. Fera *A Repsol Recomendado, Mediterranean-Asian tasting-menu restaurant inside a historic Palma palace.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** Carrer de la Concepció 4, 07012 Palma de Mallorca, Spain - **Price:** €€€ - **Distinction:** Repsol Recomendado - **Website:** https://ferapalma.com - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/fera Fera carries a Recomendado listing from Guía Repsol and is a member of JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs. It sits on the ground floor of the Círculo Mallorquín, a historic social club, in a traditional Mallorcan palace in the centre of Palma, with the dining room opening onto an interior garden. Chef Simon Petutschnig's tasting menus mix Mediterranean and Asian influences, and the whole space is built around calm rather than spectacle. ### 10. Clandestí Taller Gastronòmic *A 12-seat counter serving a secret daily tasting menu built off the morning market.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** Carrer de Guillem Massot 45, 07003 Palma de Mallorca, Spain - **Price:** €€€ - **Distinction:** Repsol Recomendado - **Website:** https://www.clandesti.es - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/clandesti-taller-gastronomic 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. ### 11. Botànic *A Repsol Recomendado hotel restaurant inside Palma's largest private old-town garden, under a new 2026 chef.* - **Neighbourhood:** Palma - **Address:** C/ Forn de la Glòria 14, 07012 Palma de Mallorca, Spain - **Price:** €€€€ - **Distinction:** Repsol Recomendado - **Website:** https://www.canbordoy.com/en/botanic-restaurant - **Full profile:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/botanic-can-bordoy-grand-house-and-garden 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. ## Honourable mentions - **[Mombo](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/mombo-formerly-mambo)** (Palma) — Chef Gabriel Conti's 'restaurante de tapeo fino' on Passeig de Mallorca, a Michelin Selected fine-tapas concept pairing tradition with the avant-garde, adults-only with children welcome from age 10. - **[Es Balcó de Son Vida](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/es-balco-de-son-vida)** (Son Vida) — The restaurant of Castillo Hotel Son Vida, reopened 23 April 2026 after a full renovation, serving Mediterranean cooking through an à la carte and two tasting menus; not yet listed in the Michelin Guide or Guía Repsol data available for this pass. ## The Fine Dining scene in Mallorca Palma's fine-dining core sits inside and around the old town.
