Background
About Little Jarana
The Story
Little Jarana is a small bistro and wine bar tucked down a side street near Passeig de Mallorca, run by chef Abraham Artigas. It seats around 19, and Artigas has chosen the wines himself, leaning on small producers. The room is informal and a bit of a party, which is roughly what the name means. It's recommended in the Michelin Guide. Book ahead; it draws Palma chefs on their nights off.
The Cuisine
Creative Mediterranean small plates, many built for sharing, with some international touches. The handwritten menu changes roughly every two weeks, but 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 the menu. The drinks list is wine and little else. No soft drinks, beer or coffee, just wine (mostly from small producers across Spain, France, Italy and beyond), some vermouth, and water. The kitchen can't accommodate vegan menus or severe dietary restrictions.

Little Jarana Dining Experience
Little Jarana is a cozy, intimate, casual room of around 19 seats down a side street near Passeig de Mallorca, run by chef Abraham Artigas. The energy is moderate and great for talking, a bit of a party, which is roughly what the name means, and it's a hidden gem, genuinely hard to book.

Here, our cooking is rarely ever fully written. We like to think that a dish can change because a different fish has arrived, because the producer brought something better, or because an idea that seemed complete finds a new direction. We don't view cooking as something static, but as something th
Trabajar con productores de la isla nunca ha sido una cuestión de kilómetros. Tiene más que ver con poder llamar a quien cultiva lo que cocinas, entender por qué esta semana hay una cosa y la siguiente no, aceptar que el producto manda y aprender a cocinar alrededor de eso. Con Caroline y Antoine,
