The 5 best restaurants in Mallorca recommended by Es Figueral Nou

When you stay at Es Figueral Nou in Montuïri, you are right in the heart of Mallorca. Fields, rural calm and a cuisine that is born from local produce define the character of the hotel and its restaurant, Es Pati de Montuïri. From here, we suggest a very personal selection of five restaurants from Grup Santi Taura that reflect the island’s finest gastronomy: fine dining, seafront bistros and cosmopolitan proposals that all share the same foundation, absolute respect for local and seasonal ingredients.

Below you will find our top 5 restaurants in Mallorca recommended by Es Figueral Nou to plan your gastronomic getaways around the island.

1. Es Pati de Montuïri: rural fine dining in the courtyard of Es Figueral Nou

Es Pati is the gastronomic heart of Es Figueral Nou and the starting point of this route. In a traditional Mallorcan courtyard, the menu combines signature cooking and rural roots with produce that speaks directly of the land.

Among the starters, highlights include the crispy cristal bread with roasted tomato, smoked sardine and pickles, perfect to begin with a very Mediterranean bite, or the layered potato with Montuïri “botifarró” sausage and mustard, a tribute to the local charcuterie. Also unmissable are the warm artichokes with Mahón-Menorca cheese and pickled lemon or the creamy rice with red prawn, yuzu emulsion and codium seaweed shoots, where sea and garden meet on the plate.

Among the main courses, standouts include Es Pati’s “a la mallorquina” sole, the glazed lamb shank with smoked apricot sauce from Porreres and rosemary and the stuffed suckling pig medieval style with roasted sweet potato and its jus. To finish, there is nothing better than a fried “robiol” pastry filled with rum-flambéed apples, creamy cinnamon sauce and cottage cheese ice cream. A cuisine that turns inland Mallorca into a first-class gastronomic experience.

2. Dins Santi Taura: Mallorca’s culinary memory in Palma

At the hotel El Llorenç Parc de la Mar, in Sa Calatrava (Palma), you will find Dins Santi Taura, the group’s most iconic restaurant. Its Origens tasting menu, made up of several courses, is a true story of the island’s gastronomic history.

Among its extra dishes, several icons of Balearic cuisine stand out, such as the llagosta vermella (red spiny lobster), described as an emblematic dish created by fishermen and perfected in restaurants from the 1960s onwards, or the cargols farcits a la mallorquina (snails stuffed Mallorcan style), an example of humble cooking elevated to fine dining through long, careful preparation. The toast with organic sobrassada is another classic at Dins, where product and memory go hand in hand, as is the selection of Balearic cheeses curated by Santi Taura.

From Es Figueral Nou we recommend Dins to guests who want to understand Mallorca through its recipes, its larder and its history, in a fine-dining experience where local produce is the main thread.

3. Urbà: cosmopolitan sharing cuisine in the centre of Palma

Also at El Llorenç Parc de la Mar is Urbà, the group’s most urban and cosmopolitan proposal. It is the perfect place for those who want to share dishes, explore globe-trotting flavours and still recognise Mallorca in the ingredients.

On the menu you will find bites such as the crispy prawn brioche with avocado, mango and chipotle, which brings together the sea, fruit and a very moreish spicy touch, or the summer Mallorcan soup dumplings, a surprising reinterpretation of traditional recipes in dim sum format. For rice lovers, the “Ku-Bak” rice with crayfish in coconut sauce, quail eggs and a touch of Riofrío caviar is a dish that unites technique, quality produce and Asian hints.

For dessert, the Masala Chai French toast with yoghurt ice cream or the passion fruit pavlova with maraschino cherries put the finishing touch to a cuisine that travels the world without losing sight of the origin of its ingredients.

4. U Vicenç: new Mallorcan cuisine overlooking Cala Sant Vicenç

On the rooftop of El Vicenç de la Mar, with spectacular views over Cala Sant Vicenç, U Vicenç offers signature cuisine where every dish starts from local, seasonal ingredients worked with contemporary techniques.

Among its starters and signature dishes you will find red snapper nigiri croquettes with vegetables “sa padrina” style, tuna belly tataki with warm escabeche and pickled vegetables and squid ravioli with a reduction of its own juices. The sea is also very present in the creamy rice with Mallorcan lobster, one of the most celebrated dishes on the menu.

For mains, the roast “porc negre” suckling pig with glazed “patató” potatoes and jus perfectly sums up the link with local livestock, while the Mallorcan almond fondant with almond ice cream or the tiramisu with sweet Mallorcan rum and white chocolate are a reminder that the island also speaks through its desserts.

5. U Mayol: seafront bistro on Cala Molins

Back in Cala Sant Vicenç, on the ground floor of El Vicenç de la Mar, U Mayol offers a bright, informal seafront bistro, perfect for lunch after a swim or for dinner with the sea breeze.

Among the starters, classics for sharing stand out, such as the Gilda U Mayol skewer, the U Mayol potato salad with “embutido marino” sea charcuterie and pickles or the fish of the day tiradito with Mediterranean sea-fennel “aguachile”, where fresh fish and citrus notes take centre stage. Rice dishes are one of the strong points of the menu: the dry U Mayol rice finished over the grill with “porcella de porc negre” suckling pig and red prawn, the black rice with crispy baby squid and roasted garlic aioli and the lobster stew showcase the full potential of local seafood and meat.

From the grill, the Mallorcan rock octopus with paprika and rustic potatoes and the grilled wagyu with chimichurri round off a proposal that combines excellent produce, well-understood simplicity and a relaxed atmosphere. To finish, the Mallorcan chocolate truffle and the XL thin apple tart with Mallorcan almond ice cream are two ideal desserts to close the experience.

From the heart of the island: a complete gastronomic route

Es Pati de Montuïri, Dins Santi Taura, Urbà, U Vicenç and U Mayol share a common philosophy: cooking Mallorca from local produce, respecting the seasons and reinterpreting the island’s culinary memory through very different languages.

From Es Figueral Nou, in the centre of Mallorca, we recommend this route as the most delicious way to discover the island, combining days in the countryside, in the city and by the sea with truly outstanding gastronomy. Our reception team will be delighted to help you with reservations and to plan your outings, so that your stay becomes an unforgettable gastronomic journey.
