Best Restaurants for Groups in Mallorca

O96 sits on the coastal road between Alcúdia and Port de Pollença, right on the Bay of Pollença waterfront, with a dining room, garden and terraces (including a rooftop) that give a group real room to spread out. Chef Vanessa Silva runs a BajaMed menu, contemporary Mediterranean cooking read through Latin American technique, built around a Josper grill, whole fish sold by the kilo, and rice dishes priced per person with a minimum of two. For larger tables, O96 runs a separate Grupos menu for up to 20 guests, and it's worth specifying if you want the sea-view terrace when you book. It's open every day with continuous kitchen service, though it reopens each year for the summer season.

Bar Espanya runs off a narrow street just off Plaça Major, a counter piled with pinchos rather than a printed order sheet, so a group can graze through cojonudos, croquetas and mini burgers without waiting on individual courses. Raciones like patatas bravas with sobrasada, jamón and cheese boards, and huevos rotos scale up for sharing, and vegetarian and vegan pinchos are marked throughout. It holds a Repsol Solete and a review in The Infatuation's Mallorca guide. Online booking covers parties up to 8, and the bar says walk-in tables are always available even when online slots show full, though the counter draws a crowd at peak hours. A second Bar Espanya at Plaça de Raimundo Clar runs the same menu in Sa Gerreria.

Sa Portassa runs out of an old Mallorcan townhouse on a pedestrian street in Alcúdia's walled old town, with a traditional courtyard alongside the main dining room. Instead of a printed carta, the draw is a set number of tapas chosen from a longer list and served as a daily deal, a format built for a table splitting plates rather than ordering individually. Diners across Google and Tripadvisor repeatedly mention croquetas, boquerones, ensaladilla rusa, pa amb oli and grilled vegetables among the rotating options. It's rated 4.7/5 on Google and 4.5/5 on Tripadvisor with a 2025 Travelers' Choice award, and reviewers describe it as busy most evenings. There's no online booking, so call ahead, especially since queues form before opening.

Es Taronger sits on Artà's central pedestrian street, right next to where the town's weekly market sets up, with a garden that takes its name and reference point from an orange tree and a terrace that looks out toward the Sant Salvador castle above town. Chef Miguel Angel, who built part of his career in Switzerland and Italy, has run the kitchen since 2015, cooking Mallorcan and Mediterranean dishes: slow-cooked lamb shoulder with rosemary and honey, crispy roast suckling pig, and cod with sobrasada and honey or orange sauce. Paellas require a minimum of two people, and there's a weekday menú del día alongside a separate Sunday menu. Closed Thursdays; book by phone, through the restaurant's own site, or via TheFork.

Los Zarzales runs out of a courtyard restaurant a short walk from the beach in Port de Pollença, on a quiet side street just off the seafront. Reviewers consistently describe it as family-run, and the courtyard garden, with its flowers and relaxed feel, is what people single out first. The kitchen cooks traditional Mallorcan dishes built around slow-roasted meat: cabrito (kid goat) and cochinillo (suckling pig) come up repeatedly as house specialities, alongside lamb, tapas and paella in seafood, mixed and vegetarian versions. It also runs regular flamenco dinner nights, pairing a live show with the meal, a good excuse to book a bigger table. It holds a TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice 2025 award. There's no online booking, so call ahead, especially for flamenco nights.

Bodega La Rambla has served tapas and variats on Via Roma, at the north end of Palma's La Rambla, since 1940. Its house specialty is the variat mallorquí, a shared platter combining several classic tapas, offered in small (P) or large (G) sizes and in versions like De la casa, Vegetariano, or a build-your-own A tu gusto. It's a no-frills, wood-toned room with a long bar out front for a quick standing variat and a sit-down dining room behind it. There's a dedicated Vegetariano variat on the menu. It doesn't take table reservations except for private events, so arrive and expect a wait at peak lunch hours. Note: it's currently closed for its annual summer break, reopening 4 September 2026 per its own site.

Vandal sits on Plaça del Progrés in Santa Catalina, Palma's busiest dining neighbourhood, in a room that reads as loud and moody-lit, better suited to a group than a quiet dinner. Instead of a fixed tasting menu, the format has you choose the countries you want to eat through: dishes reference Thailand, Peru, France, Japan, Mexico, Spain, India, Colombia and Italy, and cocktails are paired to the food rather than run as a separate list. Chef Bernabé Caravotta cooked at Mirazur and with René Redzepi at Noma before moving to Mallorca in 2007, and Sebastián Pérez runs the dining room and wine pairings. Guía Repsol calls the style cocina mestiza. Dinner only; book online at vandalpalma.com or by phone.

Nola brings Cajun and Creole cooking to Carrer de Sant Magí in Santa Catalina, a room split between a street-facing terrace and a dim interior lined with musical instruments, leather seating and copper lights, built around Southern, jazz and soul music. The kitchen cooks Louisiana staples like jambalaya and gumbo alongside smoked ribs, soft-shell crab, mussels and shareable small plates such as pulled pork croquettes and fried pickles. It has occasionally run a Wednesday 'Ribs Night' with all-you-can-eat smoked ribs, though it isn't a weekly fixture, so check Instagram for the current schedule. Rated 4.2/5 on TripAdvisor and around 4.4/5 on Google, with well over a thousand combined reviews. Book by phone or through the reservation link in Nola's Instagram bio.

La Bóveda sits on the corner of Plaça de la Llotja in Palma's old town, a few steps from the Cathedral, in a barrel-vaulted room, independent write-ups point to the vault as the source of the name, with wooden barrels used as tables, hanging Iberian hams, wine-bottle shelves and azulejo-tiled walls. The kitchen serves Basque-Castilian tapas and classic Spanish small plates à la carte rather than a fixed tasting menu, per the restaurant's own Instagram bio. It's one of Palma's busiest tapas corners, and reviews describe a lively room that draws both visitors and locals, especially in the evening. Open Monday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, closed Sunday. Book through La Bóveda's own online reservation system or by phone, especially for evenings.

Port Blau has run on the port in Colònia de Sant Jordi since 1998, by the same family for three generations, per its own site, with a terrace looking out over the harbour. The kitchen is built around fresh fish and shellfish from the Cabrera and Cala Figuera area: fried squid, grilled octopus, prawns with garlic and tuna tartare to start, then main-course suggestions like a mixed paella, a shellfish platter, a lobster casserole and whole bass in salt crust, several of which are listed without a fixed price on the restaurant's own site. It's open Wednesday to Monday, roughly 12:00-22:30, closed Tuesday. Book online through Port Blau's own reservation page, or by phone or email, especially for a terrace table in summer.

Sa Botiga has run in Santanyí's old town, right next to the church, since 2011, under owners Gaby and Michael Schmidt-Schulz. It's grown from a small cafe into a restaurant, cafe, bar and bistro spread across a street cafe facing the church square, an interior dining room, a small first-floor library and a patio the restaurant highlights as its most popular spot. The kitchen cooks Mediterranean tapas, fish and meat dishes, vegetarian and vegan options, and pasta, with bread and cakes baked in house and its own Hierbas herb liqueur. On Wednesday and Saturday market days it opens an hour earlier and adds outdoor tables. Online booking covers up to 4 guests; call ahead for larger parties.

Lamucca del Mar opened in 2025 in a restored building on the small port of Es Molinar, Palma, the Madrid-based Lamucca group's first restaurant outside the capital. Mallorcan designer Eva Quintana led the interior, using marble, ironwork, carpentry and lighting from local artisans, and the room opens onto a terrace facing the water. The kitchen runs a Mediterranean à la carte built around a Josper charcoal oven and seafood, with oysters by the half dozen, cockles cooked in the Josper, whole grilled fish, and rice dishes like the señoret-style arroz priced per person, a lineup that scales naturally for a table splitting plates. Open every day from 13:00. Book through the link in its Instagram bio or its Google Maps listing rather than by phone.

Nº11 Gastrobar opened in 2021 in Port d'Andratx, in the space formerly occupied by Romeo's restaurant, run by owner Daniel Verrier with a menu created by chef Bonnie Han of Nama in Deià. The venue spans a front terrace, a first-floor lounge and what its own team describes as the only rooftop terrace in Port d'Andratx, with bay and hillside views, a layout built for private events as much as a casual drink. The kitchen runs an Asian-European small-plates menu alongside a curated wine list and craft cocktails. It's open Wednesday to Sunday, 12:30-21:00 with the kitchen running 13:00-18:00, and closed Monday and Tuesday, so plan around that if you're booking a group lunch or early dinner.

BrunchIt Palma runs an all-day brunch menu near Plaça Major, easy to spot by its flower-covered façade, and states no reservation is required, which makes it one of the easier group bookings on this list for a spontaneous weekend brunch. The kitchen serves seasonal, local ingredients and artisanal sourdough breads across hotcakes, toasts and burgers, including a vegan hotcake stack with roasted banana and berry compote, an avocado toast built as two variations, and a Beyond Burger with vegan cheddar. It's open daily, 8:30am-4:30pm, with the kitchen running 9am-4pm. Being reservation-free cuts both ways for a group: easy to walk in, but expect a wait at peak weekend hours.
