# Best Steak in Palma > 4 verified Palma steak spots: Breogan's dry-aged Galician beef, Diecisieteo's holm-oak charcoal grill, and Sukalde's Josper beef chops. - **Canonical URL:** https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/best-steak-palma - **City:** Mallorca, Spain - **Published:** 2026-09-21 - **Author:** Justin Mota, Guidavera founder - **Reading time:** 7 min ## Introduction Palma isn't overrun with dedicated steakhouses the way it is with tapas bars or seafood spots. A grilled or roasted beef cut being the actual reason to book a table, rather than one dish among many on a broader menu, narrows the field fast. The restaurants on this list clear that bar: charcoal grills, holm-oak fires, dry-aged cuts and Josper ovens are the point, not a side note. ## Key picks at a glance - **Best dry-aged beef specialist** — [Breogán Cocina Gallega](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/breogan-cocina-gallega): dry-aged Galician cow and ox, plus Japanese A5 Wagyu. - **Best dedicated steakhouse** — [Restaurante Diecisieteº](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurante-diecisieteo-diecisiete-grados): aged meat over holm-oak charcoal since 2004, in Santa Catalina. - **Best long-running asador** — [Asador Bolixe Cocina Esencial](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/asador-bolixe-cocina-esencial): charcoal-grilled asador running in Palma since 2004. - **Best Basque grill format** — [Sukalde](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/sukalde): Josper charcoal grill, dry-aged beef chops sold by weight. ## A guide to Steak in Mallorca ### The scene Palma's steakhouse scene is compact and spread across a few pockets rather than clustered in one neighbourhood. Breogan Cocina Gallega works Galician dry-aged beef on Carrer de Ruben Dario. Asador Bolixe Cocina Esencial has run its charcoal grill in Palma since 2004. Restaurante Diecisieteo serves aged meat over holm-oak charcoal in Santa Catalina, also since 2004. Sukalde pairs a ground-floor pintxos bar with a Josper charcoal-grill restaurant on Carrer de Bonaire in the city centre. ### What's the difference between a chuleton and an entrecot? Chuleton, or txuleton in Basque, is a large bone-in rib chop, typically shared at the table and priced by weight. Entrecot is a boneless rib steak, a single-portion cut common on Spanish and French steakhouse menus. ### Which Palma steak venues have run the longest? Asador Bolixe Cocina Esencial and Restaurante Diecisieteo have both worked their grill formats in Palma since 2004. > "Breogan Cocina Gallega dry-ages Galician cow, ox and Japanese A5 Wagyu on Carrer de Ruben Dario, while Restaurante Diecisieteo has grilled aged meat over holm-oak charcoal in Santa Catalina since 2004." ## How we built this list We built this list from Guidavera's own verified Palma restaurant data: menus, tags and editorial detail pulled directly from each venue's own site where available. A grilled or roasted beef cut has to be the primary draw for a restaurant to make this list, a dedicated steakhouse, asador or grill-forward kitchen rather than a general Mediterranean or traditional Mallorcan menu where beef is one dish among several. Restaurante Zaranda, a two-Michelin-star tasting-menu restaurant in Palma's old quarter, is left off this list for that reason: the format is a fixed multi-course tasting menu, not a steakhouse, even though a beef course can appear on it. A few grill-adjacent venues that surfaced in our research, including BarBar Mallorca, Meson Ca'n Pedro and Cantina Grill, aren't in the main ranking because their menus lean broader than beef-first, or because key details couldn't be confirmed; see the honourable mentions below. ## The 4 best Steak, compared | # | Restaurant | Neighbourhood | Price | Distinction | Signature dish | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | [Breogán Cocina Gallega](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/breogan-cocina-gallega) | Palma | €€ | — | Dry-aged Galician cow steak | | 2 | [Restaurante Diecisieteº](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/restaurante-diecisieteo-diecisiete-grados) | Santa Catalina | € | — | — | | 3 | [Asador Bolixe Cocina Esencial](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/asador-bolixe-cocina-esencial) | Palma | €€ | — | — | | 4 | [Sukalde](https://guidavera.com/spain/mallorca/restaurants/sukalde) | Centre | €€€ | — | Dry-aged beef chops, sold by weight | ## The 4 best Steak in Mallorca ### 1.

By-weight cuts are priced per weight Dry-aged and by-weight cuts, like Breogan's Galician beef and Sukalde's beef chops, are typically priced per weight rather than as a fixed plate; confirm the current price with the restaurant before ordering. ### 3. Sukalde runs two formats in one building Sukalde splits into two formats in one building, a ground-floor pintxos bar and a Josper charcoal-grill restaurant, so check which menu and room you're booking into. ### 4. Confirm opening days directly Confirm opening days directly with each restaurant.
