Bar Rita
Bar Rita is a traditional tapas bar on Plaça Llorenç Bisbal in Palma's old town, serving llonguets, pa amb oli and small mixed tapas plates from a terrace on the square since 2010. It picked up a Repsol Solete in the guide's 2026 round.
Background
About Bar Rita
The Story
Bar Rita runs out of a small bar on Plaça Llorenç Bisbal, in the Sa Gerreria corner of Palma's old town, right beside the Nostra Senyora del Socors church. Its own Instagram and Facebook bios put it simply: "El teu bar de sempre, des del 2010" (roughly, your regular bar, since 2010), and both describe it as a cultural space and a meeting point for the neighbourhood as well as a bar. The setup is informal: tables and chairs out on the plaza when the weather allows, plus a small original interior. It picked up a Repsol Solete in the guide's 2026 round, its recognition for straightforward, well-liked everyday spots.
The Cuisine
The menu is built around Palma bar staples: llonguets (the city's split bread roll, filled), pa amb oli (bread rubbed with tomato and olive oil), and variats, small mixed plates of tapas to share, alongside coffee, beer and wine. Restaurant guides also mention cuttlefish with sauce and Russian salad among its dishes. There's no printed carta published online, so exact current dishes and any prices are worth checking at the bar itself.
The Team
Bar Rita doesn't publish individual owner or staff names on its own channels, so nothing is asserted here beyond what's confirmed: it has run under the same name since 2010, per its own social media bios, and describes itself as a neighbourhood meeting point as much as a place to eat and drink.

Experience
Bar Rita Dining Experience
A proper neighbourhood bar on a quiet plaza in Palma's old town, with tables out on the square in front of the Nostra Senyora del Socors church when the weather allows, plus a small, original interior behind the bar. Reviews describe an authentic, mostly local crowd rather than a tourist stop, friendly and informal, with the outdoor tables filling up quickly on a nice evening. Its own social media also frames it as a small cultural space, with things like outdoor film screenings and live music alongside the everyday bar business.
