Nus Palma
Repsol RecommendedFeatured in Spain's Repsol Guide as a recommended restaurant for quality dining.Chef-owner Irene Martínez's japoandaluza taberna in Santa Catalina, Palma, opened around 2022. The name nods to her carpenter father ('nus' is Catalan for a wood joint) and his old workbench is the restaurant's communal table. The kitchen blends Japanese technique with southern-Spanish flavours and Mallorcan produce as small plates to share, from crispy oyster with tartare sauce to miso-glazed aubergine and an oxtail à la royale. Martínez trained in Mallorca under Tomeu Martí at Arume and Santi Taura at Dins, and under David Muñoz at DiverXo in Madrid, before travelling through Asia.
Background
About Nus Palma
The Story
Nus is a japoandaluza taberna in Santa Catalina, the old fishermen's neighbourhood of Palma that's since turned cosmopolitan. It's the personal project of chef-owner Irene Martínez, who opened it around 2022. The name is a nod to her father, a carpenter: 'nus' is the Catalan word for a wood joint or knot, and his workbench serves as the restaurant's main communal table. Per Repsol, the room is minimalist, with Japanese-influenced design, wooden tables and bare walls.
The Cuisine
Nus blends Japanese technique with the flavours of southern Spain (Andalusia) and Mallorcan produce, served as small plates to share. Repsol describes it as a taberna mixing sabores del sur de España y Japón. The carta runs to dishes like crispy oyster with tartare sauce, kombu-marinated snapper, tuna cooked on the kamado, a Japanese-style potato salad, miso-glazed aubergine, and an oxtail 'à la royale', plus a set sharing menu called A Mesa Puesta.
