La Bóveda
La Bóveda
La Bóveda is a long-running Basque-Castilian tapas tavern on the corner of La Llotja in Palma's old town, serving classic Spanish small plates in a barrel-vaulted dining room a few steps from the Cathedral.
Background
About La Bóveda
The Story
La Bóveda sits on Carrer de la Boteria, right on the corner of Plaça de la Llotja in Palma's old town, a few steps from the Cathedral. The name means "vault" in Spanish, and independent write-ups point to a barrel-vaulted dining room as the source of it. Directory and review descriptions consistently describe an old-school bodega look: wooden barrels, hanging Iberian hams, shelves of wine bottles and walls lined with azulejo tiles. It's a well-established name in this stretch of tapas taverns around La Llotja; sources disagree on an exact founding year, so none is asserted here.
The Cuisine
The kitchen cooks Basque-Castilian tapas and classic Spanish small plates, per the restaurant's own Instagram bio ("Cocina Vasco-Castellana / Basque-Castillian cuisine"). No priced carta was found published on a source that could be independently verified this session, so specific current dishes and prices aren't listed here; ask for the carta when you sit down.
The Team
No chef or owner name is confirmed on La Bóveda's own channels, so none is listed here.
