Nola is a Cajun and Creole restaurant and bar in Santa Catalina, Palma, serving Louisiana-inspired soul food such as jambalaya, gumbo and smoked ribs alongside an extensive cocktail list and Southern, jazz and soul music.

Background

About Nola

The Story

Nola brings Cajun and Creole cooking to Carrer de Sant Magí in Santa Catalina, Palma's restaurant-and-bar strip. The name nods to New Orleans, Louisiana, and the concept pairs Southern soul food with a heavy cocktail list, Southern, jazz and soul music, and a room built for a night out rather than a quiet dinner.

The Cuisine

The kitchen cooks Louisiana staples such as jambalaya and gumbo alongside smoked ribs, soft-shell crab, mussels and a run of shareable small plates like pulled pork croquettes and fried pickles. It has also run a periodic Wednesday 'Ribs Night' with all-you-can-eat smoked ribs, though it isn't a weekly fixture, so check Instagram for the current schedule.

The Chef

Nadia

The Team

Nola is run by Nadia, who built the concept and the room's décor with her partner, a carpenter by trade.

How to Book Nola

Booking

Nola takes bookings by phone and through its Instagram reservation link. It's a busy, popular spot in Santa Catalina's restaurant strip, so booking ahead for evenings and weekends is worth doing.

Experience

Nola Dining Experience

Nola splits into a street-facing terrace and a dimly lit interior with musical instruments on the walls, leather seating, copper lights and a large mural, built around Southern, jazz and soul music. It reads as a lively bar-restaurant for a night out with friends rather than a quiet dinner, with an emphasis on cocktails and shareable plates.
