For me it is a typical Mallorcan bar and restaurant that has great food and what I like most is its staff, especially Mario, a genius in hospitality and a great host!! I love having tapas surrounded by friendly and professional people. A big hug Javier from Malaga!!

Amazing food. We stopped here for lunch on the way back from the Castel de Bellver. It is a bar in a covered market. We had to wait for a few minutes before being served by a lovely man who explained the menu in English. We took a punt on a few dishes and they were all stunning. I haven't tried everything but I suspect they don't do a bad dish. A lovely glass of white wine topped off the experience. Finally, it is very reasonable.

We were having a look around Santa Catalina market and came across this gem in one of the corners. Mainly local people were eating and drinking, we had a glass a of wine each for 2.10 €, a large size so very good value.

Really the best and freshest tapas. I love the food and the people there. In the morning until 8:00 it’s worth to have a Mediterranean brunch. Coming back soon.

A very popular bar located inside the Santa Catalina Mercado. Can get very crowded so you must be ready to flag the servers down for service. Everything is delicious, serving very rustic mallorcan dishes, frito mallorquin, callos, croquetas, etc. So much to choose from. If you're lucky enough to snag a table, you'll be sitting literally behind the bar right in the action, very fun.

I wanted to try some genuine spanish food except paella and tried the bacalao.
Very good fish dish! Extremely fast service because theyre very busy. You can sit at a table but its very crowdy.
Very genuine feeling with more locals than tourists.
Good prices as well.

The best place to try and enjoy frito mallorquin! If you're fan of local, traditional spots you can't miss this place.

A small kitchen, a small table, a small chair but giant quality food. I had fish, my friend meat and both enjoyed a cheap meal in gorgeous taste. A practical passage corner where you meet everybody in the speed of Mallorca. Nice people great food.

Food stall in a market hall. Great ambiance, love the place. Rustic affordable food, great paella, tasty "tapas" plates. be prepared to stand at the stainless steel counter and eat, very few tables. But it is worth it. :)
