Background
About Cafè Canamunt
The Story
Cafè Canamunt is a small café-bar on Carrer de la Volta de la Mercè, tucked into the Canamunt quarter of Palma's old town a few minutes from Plaça d'Espanya. It's run in person by Alfonso, an Argentine chef, and Adela, in a tiny room decorated with Mallorcan retro objects, with a handful of tables inside and a few more out on the street. Tripadvisor reviews of the café go back to at least 2019, and diners and chefs alike single out Alfonso's llonguets, Mallorca's traditional split bread rolls, for constantly changing, inventive fillings.
The Cuisine
The kitchen builds its offering around llonguets, filled with combinations like pastrami, sobrasada and honey, or Mahón cheese, plus a daily homemade quiche and other specials. There's no printed carta published online; Guía Repsol's own listing recommends the llonguets specifically as the thing to order.

The room is small, with only a handful of tables inside and a few more out on the street, so calling ahead is worth it, especially around lunchtime. Walk-ins are common too, per reviewer accounts.
