"High-quality tapas restaurant in the heart of Palma
Beautiful and centrally located restaurant with a great atmosphere. We were a group of 11 and had the fish and meat set menu for €66 per person, including wine pairing. The food was excellent – perfectly prepared tapas, great timing between courses, and a very attentive, friendly team who made sure everything ran smoothly.
There’s also a vegetarian/vegan menu option available if requested. Portions were enough, though not overly large. Standouts were the tartare and croquettes – both were absolutely delicious. The dessert was also a real highlight.
It’s not cheap, but absolutely worth it for a special evening in Palma."

"This place was such an amazing find
I stumbled upon it simply just by passing by. There are a lot of places around doing so much of the same thing. This place really stood out. While some things, yes, are familiar, they go the extra mile here. The space, a tad on the small side, so making a reservation would definitely be ideal. Everything I had was soo incredibly delicious and well executed. You can tell the chef put so much thought into crafting this menu, along with all the other chefs putting so much love and attention to detail when putting these dishes out. The cocktails were also amazing. The bartender you can see really enjoys making all the different styles of cocktails. The whole staff was super friendly and works hard for guests to have an enjoyable experience. I was only able to try just a few things, but I will definitely be back to try more!"

"This is one of my favourite meals in Europe.
They nailed everything and the sangria was delicious. Recommend the salmon, octopus and miso cod. Actually everything we had I recommend! It’s hard to do everything well and they did. Every dish was as good or better than the next.
Service was good as well and timely. Cannot fault."
