Eating well in Palma

Palma is best eaten neighbourhood by neighbourhood. Our regulars:

Old town:

• El Camino: tapas at a long counter watching the cooks. Book well ahead.
• Bar Espanya and Bodega Morey: classic tapas, good and fairly priced; arrive early.
• FERVOR: for its seafood paella.
• Ca n'Ela: vegan, next to La Llotja, with a set lunch menu (closed on Sundays).
• S'Oli 13: weekday set lunch on a quiet square.

Markets (mornings and lunchtime): the counters at Mercat de l'Olivar (oysters and a glass of wine) and Mercat de Santa Catalina, where Bar Joan Frau does frito mallorquín.

True Mallorcan cooking: Casa Maruka, family-run and always full; book.

Local breakfast: a llonguet at Bar Tony or hot chocolate with ensaimada at Ca'n Joan de s'Aigo.
