International Restaurants in Mallorca

Michelin Starred (1)

Mallorca’s dining scene isn’t all about paella and tapas, though those are great too. If you’re craving something different, the island has a surprisingly diverse range of international restaurants that locals swear by.

Head to Palma’s Santa Catalina neighborhood, a favorite spot for authentic Japanese and Middle Eastern fare,you'll find everything from melt-in-your-mouth ramen to perfectly spiced shawarma just a short walk apart. And if you’re around in spring or autumn, some of these places get less crowded, making it easier to snag a table without a reservation.

Don’t overlook the lesser-known corners of the island either. In Port de Sóller, for example, there’s a charming little Moroccan spot with fantastic tagines and the kind of hospitality that feels like a warm hug. Also, I highly recommend trying the tiny Argentinian grill not far from the old town in Palma,those steaks aren’t just tasty, they’re often mentioned among locals as the best on the island.

Pro tip: Many international spots here have adopted the local practice of late dining, so don’t be shy about showing up closer to 9 or 10 pm. You’ll fit right in. Plus, it’s a great way to unwind after a day of exploring Mallorca.

A little local tip on eating international

If you love Italian food, forget the touristy spots along the Paseo Marítimo and instead check out the tiny trattoria called Da Giovanni in Palma’s El Terreno district. It’s where locals head for handmade pasta and a relaxed vibe.

Also, many international chefs who moved here adapt their menus to include some local ingredients, so you might find a sushi roll with sobrassada or a curry with fresh Mallorcan oranges. It’s a delicious fusion you won’t get everywhere.
