The 10 Best Burgers in Mallorca
Hamburgers might not be what comes to mind when you consider Mallorcan food, but there’s actually a thriving burger scene on the island.

Restaurant Spotlight: Ca’l Dimoni
For those who want a true Mallorcan experience, Ca’l Dimoni is a crash course. Yes, the food is your typical Mallorcan fare: pa amb oli, sobrassada, wine and snails. But it’s more than that. Elaborately yet classically decorated, it might be a bit kitcsh, but that’s all part of the fun. Just don’t leave without […]

Deià sits atop these […]

Restaurant Spotlight: Restaurant Millor
Santa Catalina is one of Palma’s most popular neighborhoods and for good reason. One of my favorite reasons being the variety and quantity of restaurants in the area. Historically, it has always been an international part of the city. This is reflected in the cuisine you can find. While I love all the options that […]
