Fornet de la Soca
Plaça de Weyler 9, Palma
Fornet de la Soca is a loving revival of Mallorca's baking heritage by Tomeu Arbona, in a beautiful modernista shop on Plaça Weyler in central Palma. It recreates near-forgotten island recipes, from cocas and ensaïmades to coca de patata and savoury pastries, using traditional methods. Come in the morning for the best choice before popular items sell out, and eat in or take away. It is a treat for anyone curious about authentic Mallorcan baking rather than tourist-standard ensaïmadas. A genuine taste of the island's culinary history.
More Restaurants in Mallorca
Adrián Quetglas
Adrián Quetglas is a tiny, buzzy Michelin-recommended restaurant beside the leafy torrent on Passeig de Mallorca. The Argentine-born chef serves a single, frequently changing tasting menu blending Mediterranean, Russian and Latin influences at a price that feels almost improbable for the quality. The contemporary dining room seats only a handful, so tables fill fast and booking weeks ahead is essential. It suits food lovers after an ambitious, great-value tasting experience in a relaxed rather than formal setting. One of Palma's smartest deals in creative fine dining.
Agapanto
Agapanto is a stylish waterfront restaurant overlooking Port de Sóller, with some of the best sunset views on the northwest coast. The kitchen leans Mediterranean-fusion, backed by good cocktails and live music on some evenings, in a relaxed but polished setting above the bay. Sunset is the time to book a terrace table. It suits couples and groups wanting a scenic dinner or drinks rather than a quick bite. An easy, atmospheric choice to end a day in Sóller and its port.
Arabay Coffee
Arabay Coffee is a Mallorca-born specialty-coffee brand with a café and roastery presence in central Palma, serving expertly pulled espresso, brunch bites and beans to take home. A cornerstone of the island's third-wave coffee scene, it suits both a quick quality coffee and a relaxed sit-down with something to eat. Come mid-morning to enjoy it at its calmest before the lunch crowd. Ideal for coffee lovers wanting carefully sourced, freshly roasted beans and a proper flat white in the heart of the city.
