Introduction
The Mallorca Wine Bars List We Send to Friends
Bar La Sang was the first bar in Mallorca built entirely around natural wine, opened by Lukas Lundgren on Costa de la Sang in October 2019 and now running out of Carrer d'Antoni Frontera in Palma's Nord district. A few doors down on the same street, Idilio Cocina y Vino's wine list won a Silver Star at Star Wine List of the Year Spain 2026. Little Jarana, near Passeig de Mallorca, pours wine and almost nothing else, chef Abraham Artigas picked every bottle himself. This list sticks to places built around the glass first: dedicated wine bars, wine-and-tapas rooms, and one bookshop that runs its own wine shop on the side. Restaurants where wine is one strength among several, rather than the venue's own concept, were left off.

Before you order
A Guide to Wine Bars in Mallorca
Palma's natural-wine scene runs through a few names
Bar La Sang, CAV. and La Viniloteca all build their lists around natural, organic and biodynamic producers, part of a wider natural-wine movement that's taken hold across Spanish cities over the past several years. The Wine Side and Idilio Cocina y Vino also lean toward low-intervention and natural producers on their own lists.
Wine bar or wine shop, the line blurs
Several of these venues double as retail. CAV. and La Bodeguilla both sell bottles to take home alongside pouring by the glass, and La Biblioteca de Babel runs a wine shop next to its books. Browsing what's for sale and drinking a glass on the spot often happen in the same visit.
Nord, old town and Centre: three different Palma wine scenes
Bar La Sang and Idilio Cocina y Vino share a street in the Nord district, north of the old walls. The old town holds the densest cluster: La Viniloteca, CAV., La Biblioteca de Babel and Bodega La Rambla. Further out in Centre, The Wine Side pours from a terrace over Passeig de Mallorca and Mercat Negre runs a standing counter inside a working fish market.
How We Built This List
Years of Eating, Asking, and Going Back
This list draws on Guidavera's own verified venue data for Palma, cross-checked against each bar's own site where one exists, plus diner-review signal aggregated from platforms like Google and TripAdvisor and the specialist guide Star Wine List. Restaurants where wine is one strength among several, rather than the venue's own concept, were left off in favor of places built around the bottle first; a couple of entries here run closer to full restaurants than bars and are flagged as such in their write-ups.

The ranking
11 Best Wine Bars in Mallorca
Bar La Sang


1. Bar La Sang — The bar that started Mallorca's natural-wine scene, still run by the founder who opened it in 2019.
Lukas Lundgren opened Bar La Sang in October 2019 on a corner near Plaça de l'Hospital, on the street called Costa de la Sang, which gave the bar its name, and it was the first bar in Mallorca built entirely around natural wine. It's since moved to Carrer d'Antoni Frontera in Palma's Nord district, where Lundgren still runs it as a natural-wine bar and bottle shop, alongside a sister concept, Petit La Sang, and a bottle-shop side, Lundgren Wines. 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. Google rates it 4.4/5. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 18:00 to 23:30, closed Monday and Sunday.
La Biblioteca de Babel


2. La Biblioteca de Babel — An independent bookshop running its own wine shop and café on the side.
La Biblioteca de Babel is first a bookshop on Carrer Arabí 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, the Escuela de Humanidades, 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, the kind of stop that suits a quieter break between old-town bars. Restaurant Guru rates it 4.6/5 across 819 reviews. Open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 21:00 continuous hours, closed Sunday.
3. La Viniloteca — Half natural-wine bar, half record shop, sharing one room in the old Jewish quarter.
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, curated and played straight off the records. 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. Two entrances lead in, Carrer de l'Argenteria 14 and Calle Vidrieria 17, so it's easy to find from either street. Google rates it 4.6/5 across 295 reviews.
La Vieja de Jonay Hernández


4. La Vieja de Jonay Hernández — A Canarian tasting kitchen from Tenerife chef Jonay Hernández, with a wine list built to run alongside the food.
Chef Jonay Hernández, from Tenerife, opened La Vieja on a corner of Palma's Plaça de Raimundo Clar in May 2018, bringing Canary Island cooking to Mallorca and building the menu on Balearic produce, with touches he calls American and Mexican. The room is urban and a little quirky, with graffiti on the walls and a kitchen you can see into. Alongside the à la carte, the restaurant runs a wine list built specifically to pair with the food, plus a cocktail menu leaning on tropical, Canary Island flavours. It's landed a Michelin Guide listing and a Repsol Recomendado, and Michelin singles it out for fish and seafood. This one leans more restaurant than bar, so go in ready for a full meal, not just a glass. Closed Monday and Sunday.
Idilio Cocina y Vino


5. Idilio Cocina y Vino — A neighbourhood wine bar whose list won a Silver Star at Star Wine List of the Year Spain 2026.
Idilio Cocina y Vino is a small neighbourhood restaurant and wine bar on Carrer d'Antoni Frontera in Palma's Nord district, the same street as Bar La Sang, opened in March 2024 by chef Ricardo Navarro, sommelier Alejandro Vivas and journalist Miguel Pich. The idea is 'hedonismo de barrio,' neighbourhood hedonism: an approachable, shareable kitchen paired with a serious wine list in a small, casual room. Some dishes are cooked over live fire, including a fire-grilled aubergine and a chargrilled artichoke on the current summer carta, and the signature is a tower of five-day smoked and cured meats, the pastrami tower, served for the table. Navarro trained at the Basque Culinary Center; Vivas trained at Marc Fosh's and Martín Berasategui's restaurants before joining. The wine list won a Silver Star at Star Wine List of the Year Spain 2026. Dinner only, Tuesday to Saturday, roughly 19:00 to 23:00, closed Sunday and Monday.
Little Jarana


6. Little Jarana — A wine-only bistro, chef Abraham Artigas picked every bottle on the list himself.
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's never come off. It's in the Michelin Guide and genuinely hard to book, so call a few days ahead; tables are capped at six and a card is taken as a no-show guarantee. Open evenings Monday to Friday plus Friday lunch, closed weekends.
La Bodeguilla

7. La Bodeguilla — A 1986 Palma institution that's a restaurant and a working wine shop at once, 300-plus bottles deep.
La Bodeguilla opened in 1986 on Carrer de Sant Jaume, about a 7-minute walk from Sa Llotja, and has worked as both a restaurant and a wine shop ever since: eat and drink across the two-floor dining room, where wine barrels double as tables, or buy bottles to take home. It's a family business, part of Grupo Amida, the Palma hospitality group also behind Periplo Portixol. The kitchen treats ingredients with what it calls 'sencillez, humildad y técnica,' simplicity, humility and technique, and the restaurant's own line is that the cellar, more than 300 Spanish and international wine references, is its second great asset alongside the food. The low-temperature egg with foie gras sauce and fresh truffle is one its own Instagram calls a house classic. It's listed in the Michelin Guide. Google rates it 4.4/5 across 2,896 reviews. Open daily, 13:00 to 23:00, no closed day.
CAV.


8. CAV. — A natural-wine shop and tasting bar from two wine-industry veterans, and their corgi.
CAV. is a natural wine shop, tasting bar and distributor on Carrer de la Gerreria in Palma's old town, founded by Charlie and Lauren, who between them bring over a decade of wine-industry experience from New York, London, the US and Australia; their corgi, Bao, is part of the story too. 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 here at once. Closed Monday and Sunday.
Mercat Negre


9. Mercat Negre — A standing-room counter inside Palma's fish market, run by the chef behind Clandestí.
Mercat Negre is chef Pau Navarro's stall inside Mercat de l'Olivar, Palma's covered market that's been trading since 1951, Stand 6A in the fish section. There's no printed menu and no seating: the counter serves fish- and shellfish-led tapas built from whatever Navarro and his team pick up at the market's fish stalls that morning, eaten standing up alongside a changing list of still and sparkling natural wines. Navarro also runs the restaurant Clandestí Taller Gastronòmic; he trained at hotel schools in Palma and Girona, staged in fish preparation at El Celler de Can Roca, and was head chef at the Michelin-starred L'Aliança in Girona before working in the kitchens of Andreu Genestra, Marc Fosh, Argos and Santi Taura back in Mallorca. It's walk-in only, no table reservations, and it's listed in Star Wine List's 2026 guides to wine bars in both Mallorca and Palma de Mallorca specifically. Open Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 to 16:00, closed Sunday and Monday, market hours rather than bar hours, so this is a lunchtime stop, not an evening one.
Bodega La Rambla


10. Bodega La Rambla — An old-school tavern on Via Roma, trading tapas and variats under the same name since 1940.
Bodega La Rambla has served tapas and Mallorcan variats since 1940 from the same address on Via Roma, at the north end of La Rambla, per its own branding, 'Variats y Tapas desde 1940.' The house specialty is the variat mallorquí, a shared combination platter of several classic tapas served on one plate, with fixed versions like the house De la casa selection, an all-fried De rebozados, a meat-forward Fora Vila, and a build-your-own A tu gusto. There's a wood-toned dining room behind a long bar out front where locals grab a quick variat standing up, and no table reservations except for private events. The 'Bodega' in the name points to the tavern's wine-tavern roots, though today the printed carta itself runs almost entirely on tapas and variats rather than a listed wine programme. Google rates it 4.6/5 across 1,048 reviews. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday; open for lunch and dinner Thursday to Saturday, and at least lunch on Sunday and Monday. One timing note: the bodega takes an annual summer break, and its own site lists reopening on 4 September 2026, so confirm before visiting.
The Wine Side


11. The Wine Side — The wine bar most people search for by name, on a terrace over Passeig de Mallorca.
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 Alcúdia venue has since closed, leaving Palma as the only location. The name nods to Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wild Side,' the owners' shared love of music and wine. The wine list leans toward low-intervention and natural producers from Mallorca and the rest of Spain, run through the WineRim platform. Food is seafood-led and built for sharing: squid croquettes, tuna and sea urchin nigiri, a pork short rib croissant, steak tartare with truffle mayonnaise, and shared rice dishes like a creamy rice with spider crab and a Majorcan-style squid and red prawn rice. 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. Featured in Star Wine List's 2026 guides to wine bars in Mallorca and in Palma de Mallorca specifically. Open Wednesday to Saturday, 13:00 to midnight, closed Sunday to Tuesday.

Honourable Mentions
The bigger picture
The Wine Bars Scene in Mallorca
Palma's wine bars cluster in three loose pockets. The old town holds the highest concentration: La Viniloteca and La Biblioteca de Babel sit a few streets apart in the Canamunt area, CAV. is tucked into a Gerreria backstreet nearby, and Bodega La Rambla anchors the north end of La Rambla at Via Roma. North of the old walls, in the Nord district, Bar La Sang and Idilio Cocina y Vino share the same street, Carrer d'Antoni Frontera. Further out, in Centre, The Wine Side has a terrace over Passeig de Mallorca and Mercat Negre runs a standing counter inside the covered fish market at Mercat de l'Olivar. Weekday evenings tend to be the easier time to walk in without a reservation; weekends lean toward the kitchen-forward spots filling up.
Practical tips
Know before you go
A short survival guide for eating wine bars in Mallorca— everything we wish we’d known on our first trip.
- 1
Old town strings four of these together on foot
La Viniloteca, CAV., La Biblioteca de Babel and Bodega La Rambla all sit inside or right at the edge of Palma's old town, close enough to walk between on one evening out.
- 2
Sunday and Monday are the quiet days
Bar La Sang, Idilio, CAV. and La Vieja de Jonay Hernández all close both Sunday and Monday, and The Wine Side adds Tuesday to that. La Viniloteca and La Bodeguilla are open every day of the week, useful options if you're out on an off night.
- 3
Mercat Negre keeps market hours, not bar hours
It's open Tuesday to Saturday, 10:00 to 16:00, inside Mercat de l'Olivar's fish section, so treat it as a daytime stop rather than an evening one. Everything else on this list runs afternoon into night.
- 4
Book ahead for the two hardest tables
Little Jarana is genuinely hard to get into and takes a card as a no-show guarantee, and Idilio's room on Carrer d'Antoni Frontera is small enough that booking ahead is worth it. The bar-only spots, La Viniloteca, CAV. and La Biblioteca de Babel, are more walk-in friendly.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
All restaurants on this list were independently verified as open and serving the dishes described as of .
What makes The Wine Side different from Palma's other wine bars?
+
The Wine Side is a family business, run by Toni Cabanellas and his mother, Joana Mª Valls, and it's the address most people mean when they search for a wine bar in Palma by name. It started as a tapas and wine bar in Port d'Alcúdia before the owners opened this larger Passeig de Mallorca location in December 2022; the original Alcúdia venue has since closed, so Palma is now the only location. The wine list leans toward low-intervention and natural producers from Mallorca and the rest of Spain.
What's on the menu at The Wine Side in Palma?
+
Food is seafood-led and built for sharing: squid croquettes, tuna and sea urchin nigiri, a pork short rib croissant, steak tartare with truffle mayonnaise, and shared rice dishes including a creamy rice with spider crab and a Majorcan-style squid and red prawn rice. There's also a terrace over Passeig de Mallorca and a private room.
What actually counts as a wine bar in Palma, versus a restaurant with a good wine list?
+
A wine bar here means the glass or bottle is the point: somewhere you can walk in, sit at a bar or table, and order wine without committing to a full sit-down meal or a fixed tasting menu, usually with snacks or small plates alongside it. Restaurants where wine is one strength among several, rather than the venue's own concept, like several Palma kitchens with strong sommelier programmes, sit outside that definition even when they show up on other 'best wine' round-ups.
Which Palma wine bars focus on natural wine?
+
Bar La Sang, CAV. and La Viniloteca all build their lists around natural, organic and biodynamic producers, and Bar La Sang was the first bar in Mallorca to focus exclusively on natural wine when it opened in 2019. The Wine Side and Idilio Cocina y Vino also lean toward low-intervention and natural producers.
Where can I drink Mallorcan wine specifically in Palma?
+
La Viniloteca pours natural, organic and biodynamic wines from Mallorca and the rest of Spain, around 15 by the glass. CAV. and The Wine Side both pour organic, low-intervention wines mainly from Spain and Mallorca as well. None of these limit the list to Mallorca alone, but the island's producers are consistently on the pour.
Do Palma's wine bars take reservations, or can I just walk in?
+
It depends on the spot. Little Jarana is genuinely hard to book and takes a card as a no-show guarantee, and Idilio's room is small enough that booking ahead is worth it. Bodega La Rambla and Mercat Negre don't take table reservations at all, walk-in only. La Viniloteca, CAV. and La Biblioteca de Babel are the easiest wine spots in Palma to walk into without planning ahead.
