Best Wine Bars in Mallorca

Little Jarana is a tiny bistro and wine bar down a side street near Passeig de Mallorca, about 19 seats, run by chef Abraham Artigas. He cooks the creative Mediterranean small plates and picked every bottle on the list, mostly from small producers across Spain, France and Italy. The drinks list is wine and little else, no soft drinks, beer or coffee, just wine, some vermouth and water. The handwritten menu changes roughly every two weeks, though a couple of dishes stay put: anchovies with bread and butter, and gnocchi with cockles and bottarga, the latter a fixture that never comes off. It's in the Michelin Guide and genuinely hard to book, so call a few days ahead. Closed weekends, open evenings Monday to Friday plus Friday lunch.

Burgundí is chef Borja Triñanes's follow-up to Sala de Personal, the cocktail bar that earned him a Sol Repsol, and it treats wine, cocktails and food as equal parts of the evening. The room is built around a counter open to the street in Palma's old town, pouring natural and grower wines from Champagne, Jura, the Loire and Mallorca itself, alongside a short cocktail list. The kitchen runs a seasonally changing counter-and-kitchen menu split between raw plates like oysters and razor clams and hot dishes like a Mallorcan black pork chop. Reservations are for dining only, walk-ins are welcome at the counter for a glass. Open Wednesday to Sunday roughly 19:00 to midnight, closed Monday and Tuesday.

The Wine Side started as a tapas and wine bar in Port d'Alcúdia before owners Toni Cabanellas and his mother, Joana Mª Valls, opened this larger Palma address on Passeig de Mallorca in December 2022, the original location has since closed. The wine side leans toward low-intervention and natural producers from Mallorca and the rest of Spain. Food is seafood-led and built for sharing: squid croquettes, tuna and sea urchin nigiri, rice dishes for two. There's a wine bar and cocktail counter on one side, a dining room built around an open kitchen on the other, plus a terrace over the boulevard and a private room. Open Wednesday to Saturday, 13:00 to midnight, closed Sunday to Tuesday.

La Viniloteca splits one room in Palma's old Jewish quarter down the middle: on one side, natural, organic and biodynamic wines from Mallorca and the rest of Spain, around 15 by the glass, on the other, new and secondhand vinyl spanning rock, pop and jazz. The music is curated and played straight off vinyl. It's described as calm and unhurried, the kind of place to sit with a glass while someone flips through the crates next door. There's outdoor terrace seating and it takes card payment. Two entrances lead in, Carrer de l'Argenteria 14 and Calle Vidrieria 17, so it's easy to find from either street.

La Biblioteca de Babel is first a bookshop in Palma's old town, but it runs a wine shop and a café with a terrace alongside the shelves, plus an events programme of author signings, reading clubs, lectures and concerts. It also runs a small humanities programme and publishes its own literary magazine, La Gaceta de Alejandría. It's less a destination wine bar than a place to end up with a glass after browsing, which is exactly the appeal if you want a quieter stop between old-town bars. Open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 21:00 continuous hours, closed Sunday.

La Vinya de Santa Clara is a small wine bar between the Arab Baths and the Convent de Santa Clara in Palma's old town, pouring more than 60 wines by the glass from about €4, alongside jamón, cheese and charcuterie boards. It's run by owner Esteban, who reviewers single out for his wine knowledge and warm welcome, the kind of place where you let him steer the order. Reviewers describe it as tiny, cosy and unhurried, with a wine list that outsizes the room by a long way. Closed Sunday.

El Vinho Vinoteca Portuguesa is a wine bar in Palma's Ponent district built around a curated list of Portuguese wines, poured alongside beers and tapas. It has both dine-in and outdoor seating, and reviewers describe it as an unpretentious spot, wooden shelves stacked with bottles and soft lighting over intimate tables, a wine-shop feel merged with bar energy. Staff are frequently praised as cheerful and professional. If you want to taste your way through Portugal without leaving Santa Catalina, this is the address. Closed Monday and Sunday.

CAV. is a natural wine shop, tasting bar and distributor in Palma's old town, founded by Charlie and Lauren, who both bring over a decade of wine-industry experience from New York, London, the US and Australia. The bar pours organic and biodynamic, low-intervention wines mainly from Spain and Mallorca, alongside beers, ciders and vermuts, with bottles to take away from the shop. It's small and cosy, and reviewers single out co-founder Charlie for sharing his enthusiasm for what's on the list. Browsing bottles and drinking a glass on the spot both happen at once here. Closed Monday and Sunday.

Bar La Sang opened in October 2019 as a small corner bar and wine shop on Costa de la Sang, the street that gave it its name, and it was the first bar in Mallorca to focus exclusively on natural wines. It's since relocated to Carrer d'Antoni Frontera in Palma's Nord district, where founder Lukas Lundgren still runs it as a natural-wine bar and bottle shop, Lundgren Wines, alongside a sister concept, Petit La Sang. The kitchen turns out a daily-changing, sharing-style menu of Mallorcan charcuterie and small plates to go with the wine. It's been written up in Monocle and the New York Times' T Magazine, per its own site.
