Introduction
The Mallorca Value Restaurants List We Send to Friends
Mallorca's fine-dining headlines go to the Michelin-starred tasting-menu temples, but a lot of the island's best eating is unpretentious and easy on the wallet. That's a Bib Gourmand tasting menu in a rustic Sóller townhouse, a counter piled with pinchos just off Plaça Major, or a bakery on Plaça de Weyler still making ensaïmadas the way it always has. This list rounds up restaurants across Mallorca where the cooking outperforms the price, not just in Palma but inland, in Sóller, Deià, Manacor, Artà, Lloseta, Génova and Montuïri too. A few themes repeat across the list. Michelin's Bib Gourmand and Guía Repsol's Solete are both official recognitions built specifically around good, characterful cooking at a fair price, and several entries here carry one or the other. Some are traditional cellers, family-run restaurants built around home-style Mallorcan cooking rather than a chef-driven tasting menu. Others are cafés, bakeries and bars where a full meal barely touches what a starter costs at the island's tasting-menu restaurants.

Before you order
A Guide to Value Restaurants in Mallorca
What Bib Gourmand and Repsol Solete actually mean
Michelin's Bib Gourmand is the guide's own recognition for good cooking at a fair price, a separate category from its starred restaurants; Ca'n Boqueta in Sóller holds one. Guía Repsol's Solete works a little differently: it's the guide's tag for informal, characterful spots worth a stop, closer to a bar, café or bakery than a formal restaurant. Bar Espanya, Cafè Canamunt, NU and Fornet de la Soca all carry a Solete on this list.
What a Mallorcan celler is
A celler is a traditional Mallorcan restaurant built around a wine cellar, usually a family-run space serving home-style island cooking rather than a chef's tasting menu: dishes like arroz brut, the loose mixed rice-and-meat broth that's a Mallorcan staple, or roast suckling pig. Celler Can Carrossa in Lloseta and Celler Can Pep in Génova are both cellers in that older, more traditional sense.
How We Built This List
Years of Eating, Asking, and Going Back
This list draws on Guidavera's own restaurant records: hours, menus and prices sourced directly from each restaurant's own website, menu PDFs or menu pages, cross-checked against Michelin Guide and Guía Repsol listings, and diner-review sentiment aggregated from Tripadvisor and TheFork. Restaurants are ranked by Guidavera's own scoring, then filtered here for genuine price-to-quality value: Bib Gourmand and Repsol Solete winners, lower price-tier bars and cafés, and tasting-menu restaurants that undercut what comparable cooking costs elsewhere on the island.

The ranking
14 Best Value Restaurants in Mallorca
Ca'n Boqueta

1. Ca'n Boqueta — A Bib Gourmand tasting menu built on Sóller's red prawns and a valley view.
Ca'n Boqueta sits in a rustic Mallorcan townhouse in central Sóller, with a rear patio that looks out over the valley and its orange groves. Chef Kiko Martorell runs the kitchen as tasting menus only: a shorter lunch menu, a four-course menu, and a longer nine-course "Entre Illes" menu that leans on Sóller's red prawns across several courses. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, the guide's own recognition for good cooking at a fair price. The dining room is small and the pace is unhurried, so book ahead, especially in season. You can get here from Palma by car or on the old wooden train, which makes the trip part of the outing. Open Tuesday to Sunday; closed Monday.
Aromata


2. Aromata — Andreu Genestra's relaxed, à la carte counterpart to his Michelin-starred restaurant, at gentler prices.
Aromata is chef Andreu Genestra's more relaxed Palma project, the everyday counterpart to his Michelin-starred, Green Star restaurant elsewhere on the island. It moved in late 2024 to the ground floor of the HM Palma Blanc hotel after roughly a decade in the Centre de Cultura de Sa Nostra courtyard. The kitchen cooks contemporary Mallorcan food built on the best Balearic produce available that day, with a midday menu and à la carte at lunch, and evening tasting menus, the Aromata and Sentits routes plus a vegetarian Verd option, alongside the carte. Repsol singles out the roast porc negre with corn and apricot on the longer menus. It carries a Michelin Guide "Selected" listing and 1 Repsol Sol. Service windows are short, so reserve ahead.
Bar Espanya


3. Bar Espanya — A pinchos counter off Plaça Major where nothing on the bar costs more than a few euros.
Bar Espanya runs out of a small bar on Carrer de Can Escursac, just off Plaça Major in Palma's old town, built around a counter piled with pinchos rather than table service alone. Individual pinchos start around €2.45, with tortilla, croquetas, miniburgers and tumbet all priced under €6, and raciones like patatas bravas with sobrasada or a jamón ibérico board for sharing. It holds a Repsol Solete and a review in The Infatuation's Mallorca guide, which recommends arriving early before the best pinchos sell out. A second Bar Espanya runs the same menu at Plaça de Raimundo Clar in Sa Gerreria. Vegetarian and vegan options are marked on the card, and online booking covers parties up to 8.
S'Hortet


4. S'Hortet — A walled garden café in Deià built around fresh breakfasts, Buddha bowls and homemade cakes.
S'Hortet is a small, mostly-vegetarian garden café just off Deià's main street, family-run since it opened in the summer of 2014. Behind the café frontage is a walled garden shaded by lemon trees, with an outdoor play area, highchairs and a baby-changing table inside, and a welcome for dogs. The café describes its own menu as around 90% vegetarian and vegan, with gluten-free options running through most of the rest: fresh breakfasts, sandwiches, Buddha bowls, salads, smoothies and homemade cakes, alongside Sóller-made artisanal ice cream and organic wine. Diners rate it consistently near the top across platforms, 4.8/5 on both Tripadvisor and Google. Reservations are by phone only; there's no online booking.
Restaurant Can March


5. Restaurant Can March — Third-generation family cooking in Manacor, "new Mallorcan" dishes built on local produce.
Can March opened as an inn in Manacor in 1925, in the same house it still occupies a hundred years later. It's now run by brothers Miquel and Tolo Gelabert, grandsons of the founders, with Miquel cooking what he calls "new Mallorcan": traditional island dishes with a modern, international turn, built around local, seasonal produce. Starters like croquetes and carpaccio run roughly €12-18, mains like bacallà or rellom de vedella €21-26, and rice dishes €16-26.50, alongside a daily market menu and tasting menus. Lunch runs Tuesday through Sunday; dinner only Friday and Saturday. It's on the eastern side of the island, away from the coastal resorts, so book by phone or email ahead of a visit.
Adrián Quetglas


6. Adrián Quetglas — Haute cuisine at bistro prices on Passeig de Mallorca, with a lunch tasting menu from €38.
Chef Adrián Quetglas runs his namesake bistro-style restaurant on Passeig de Mallorca in Palma, overlooking the Torrent de Sa Riera. The pitch, in his own words, is haute cuisine at bistro prices: creative, Mediterranean-leaning cooking that blends local Balearic produce with techniques he picked up cooking in Moscow, London and Paris. The restaurant held a Michelin star from 2016 until the 2025 guide, and remains listed as Michelin Selected with a Repsol Recomendado. At lunch, the five-step tasting menu runs €55, or a shorter three-course option at €38, with wine pairing and cheese tasting available as add-ons. Closed Sundays and Mondays; book by phone, email, or through the restaurant's own site.
7. Sa Portassa — A historic Alcúdia townhouse serving a changing tapas selection rather than a fixed printed carta.
Sa Portassa runs out of an old Mallorcan townhouse on Carrer de Sant Vicenç, inside Alcúdia's walled old town, with a traditional courtyard alongside the main dining room. Rather than a fixed carta, the draw is a changing selection of Mallorcan and Spanish tapas: diners across review platforms mention croquetas, boquerones, ensaladilla rusa, pa amb oli and grilled vegetables, chosen from a longer list as a daily deal. It's rated 4.7/5 on Google and 4.5/5 on Tripadvisor, with a 2025 Travelers' Choice award. Reviewers consistently describe it as busy and family-run, with queues before opening at peak times. There's no online booking, so call ahead, and confirm the current deal and pricing directly, since reviews cite different figures over time.
Cafè Canamunt8. Cafè Canamunt — Chef Maca de Castro's own pick for Palma's best llonguets, in a tiny old-town café-bar.
Cafè Canamunt is a small café-bar tucked into the Canamunt quarter of Palma's old town, a few minutes from Plaça d'Espanya, run in person by Argentine chef Alfonso and Adela. The kitchen builds its short, changing offering around llonguets, Mallorca's traditional split bread rolls, filled with combinations like pastrami, sobrasada and honey, or Mahón cheese, alongside a daily homemade quiche. It holds a Repsol Solete and was named "Solete Favorito" by chef Maca de Castro, who recommends it for Palma's best llonguets. There's no printed carta online, and reservations are by phone only. It's breakfast and lunch only, Monday to Friday, closed weekends, so it suits a weekday stop rather than a weekend plan.
Es Taronger


9. Es Taronger — A garden restaurant in Artà's old town, with a terrace toward Sant Salvador castle and a weekday menú del día.
Es Taronger has been open on Artà's central pedestrian street since 2015, built around a garden that takes its name from an orange tree, with a terrace looking out toward the Sant Salvador castle above town. Chef Miguel Angel cooks Mallorcan and Mediterranean dishes: slow-cooked lamb shoulder, crispy suckling pig, and cod with sobrasada and honey or orange sauce, alongside paellas that require a minimum of two people. Confirmed menu prices include pulpo a la Gallega at €19.90 and seafood paella at €22.90. The restaurant also runs a weekday menú del día and a separate Sunday menu. It's closed Thursdays, and books up for the terrace, especially with the town's weekly market next door.
Celler Can Carrossa


10. Celler Can Carrossa — A century-old family celler in Lloseta with no printed menu, just a daily surprise tasting.
Celler Can Carrossa sits beside the 18th-century Palau d'Aiamans in central Lloseta, an inland town in the Raiguer area, with a garden for summer dining. There's no printed menu or à la carte: chef-patron Joan Abrines' family has run the celler for over a century, and today his wife, Halima Oudades, cooks a new surprise tasting menu each day from Joan's catalogue of traditional Mallorcan recipes. The restaurant's own site traces those recipes to old Mallorcan cookbooks and the island's Jewish and Muslim culinary influences. It's rated 4.6/5 on Google and 9.5/10 on TheFork. Reachable by train via Lloseta's own stop on the Palma-Inca line. Closed for lunch on summer Mondays, closed all day Monday in winter.
11. Celler Can Pep — A neighbourhood celler in Génova cooking arroz brut and lechona asada rather than a chef-driven tasting menu.
Celler Can Pep is a family-run celler on a residential lane in Génova, on the western edge of Palma, the kind of restaurant built around the kitchen rather than the decor. It cooks home-style Mallorcan dishes rather than a tasting menu: arroz brut, the loose mixed rice-and-meat broth that's a Mallorcan staple, lechona asada (roast suckling pig) and frito mallorquín turn up repeatedly across reviews as what people order. No priced carta is published online, so confirm current prices directly. It's closed Thursdays, with lunch and dinner most other days and lunch only on Sunday. Street parking nearby is limited and there's no online booking, so call ahead, especially at peak times.
12. NU — A two-day-a-week, no-reservations fusion spot in inland Montuïri, newly named a Repsol Solete.
NU is a small restaurant in Montuïri, an inland village in the Pla de Mallorca, that only opens two days a week: a Thursday evening service and a longer Friday. It takes no reservations, so seating is first-come, first-served, with a garden terrace out back alongside the main room. The kitchen rewrites its short menu every week around whatever's in season, a fusion style built on a Mediterranean base with Mexican, Thai and Indian touches, mostly announced on social media rather than printed. In Guía Repsol's spring 2026 round of Soletes, NU was named one of just two picks from Mallorca's interior. Reviewers describe the chef, known to them as Juan, cooking in an open kitchen and coming out to talk with diners.
Arume


13. Arume — Tomeu Martí's Japanese kitchen in central Palma, nigiri and hot dishes around an open kitchen and a long bar.
Arume is chef Tomeu Martí's Japanese restaurant on Carrer Sant Miquel, the pedestrian street near Plaça d'Espanya in central Palma, built around a large open kitchen and a long bar where you can watch the team work. The cooking reads Japanese through a Mediterranean lens; Repsol singles out the entrecôte tataki thai salad, assorted nigiri, and prawn-and-sea-urchin parcels in tempura from the carte. It also runs a chef's-choice omakase menu at €105 per person, served evenings only and booked 48 hours ahead. It carries a Repsol Recomendado listing. Open Tuesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, though listings disagree on the exact closed days, so confirm before visiting, and book by phone or through TheFork.
Fornet de la Soca


14. Fornet de la Soca — A Repsol Solete bakery on Plaça de Weyler reviving old Mallorcan ensaïmada and coca recipes.
Fornet de la Soca began as a small shop on Carrer de Sant Jaume, founded by baker Tomeu Arbona and María José Orero, before moving in 2018 into the historic Forn des Teatre building on Plaça de Weyler. The bakery describes its own work as recovering old Mallorcan baking traditions: several ensaïmada formats from €2.40, coca from €2.20, cocarrois at €4, and flaó, alongside daily bread like the €1.50 llonguet. It was named a Repsol Solete in the guide's spring 2026 round. It runs mainly as a walk-in counter with a handful of in-house tables, no reservation system advertised, so expect a queue at busy times, especially mid-morning. Open roughly Monday to Saturday, closed Sunday; confirm current hours before visiting.
The bigger picture
The Value Restaurants Scene in Mallorca
Value on Mallorca doesn't mean one thing. In Palma's old town it can mean a pincho at Bar Espanya's counter for a couple of euros, or a llonguet at Cafè Canamunt recommended by chef Maca de Castro herself. Out in Sóller, Manacor, Lloseta or Montuïri, it more often means a family-run celler or tasting menu that costs a fraction of what the same level of cooking would in a resort town, because the room is small, the family's been running it for decades, and there's no marketing budget baked into the bill. This list is built to cover both versions of that idea, across as much of the island as the data supports.
Practical tips
Know before you go
A short survival guide for eating value restaurants in Mallorca— everything we wish we’d known on our first trip.
- 1
Booking varies a lot
Some of these restaurants, like Cafè Canamunt, S'Hortet and Celler Can Pep, take reservations by phone only. NU in Montuïri doesn't take bookings at all: it's first-come, first-served, two days a week. Others, including Ca'n Boqueta, Aromata and Adrián Quetglas, run online booking and keep tighter service windows, so check each restaurant's own site before you go.
- 2
Closed days aren't uniform
Ca'n Boqueta, Aromata and Adrián Quetglas all close Mondays (Aromata and Adrián Quetglas also close Sundays), while Es Taronger and Celler Can Pep close Thursdays instead. NU only opens Thursday and Friday. Confirm hours before building a day around any single restaurant.
- 3
A few menus aren't priced online
Sa Portassa, Celler Can Pep, Celler Can Carrossa and NU don't publish a fixed, priced carta online, either because the menu changes daily or weekly, or because no official pricing was found. Confirm what's on and what it costs directly with the restaurant.
- 4
Getting there without a car
Ca'n Boqueta in Sóller and Celler Can Carrossa in Lloseta are both reachable by train from Palma, on the historic wooden Sóller line and the Palma-Inca SFM line respectively, which makes the trip part of the outing rather than just a means to get there.
