We have been visiting Mallorca for over 40 years and frequently driven past Sa Farinera, not giving it a second thought.
Big mistake. No, HUGE MISTAKE !!!!
A neighbour mentioned Sa Farinera to us during a conversation about favourite restaurant with authentic grills ... so we thought we would give it a go.
We were hugely impressed.
We tried something different to our more regular choice of beef and lamb. Sa Farinera offer an interesting selection of grilled starters. We share a plate of mixed sausages as a starter and opted for the veal and pork kebabs for our main course, accompanied by grilled vegetables.
Yummy and first rate.
The selection of wines is good (perhaps worth improving by addition of so more red and rose local wines). The prices for the quality of food is first rate.
I must add a few words about the waiter and general table service - we were super impressed. Yes, it did take some time to place our order and receive our meal, but the helpfulness and friendliness of the waiters who were serving us was positively noteworthy.
Advanced booking is essential as this restaurant is both popular with locals and very busy when we dined ther.
Will definitely return to sample more of their menu.

This restaurant is beautiful. The decor has the old country Spanish feel. There is a peacock cage at the entrance. A stone wheels structure water fountain. You can eat inside which is beautiful or outside under canopies where you can see the cooks. The staff was so friendily. The food is cooked outside on this covered open pit. They bring the meats to you to make sure it is what would have chosen before they cook it. The food was good. I would recommend this restaurant. Do not forget to make reservations because it is very popular. The lamb chops and sausage platter were the best. If you don't rent a car, they will call a taxi for you.

We took a trip into Old Spain at this lovely restaurant. The entrance features giant grist mill grinding wheels and you walk past the huge open grill to either courtyard seating or indoor seating. The old windmill dominates the lovely courtyard. Be sure to check out the interior where the pulleys and works of the grist mill are preserved. The problem was the service—we waited 2 whole hours before our food arrived. People who arrived after we did left long before we could. The waiter never cleared the small plates away and management made no effort to make up for the staff error. If the food and the house red wine had not been so good I would never consider dining at this place again. Do make reservations as it is a very popular place.

A regular dinner location whenever we are in Mallorca - it’s a ten minute drive from our resort home.
It’s basically a massive BBQ, serving great meat options; not that much for the veggies.
My choice is usually the rabbit (yep, it looks like a whole skinned bunny) or the meat skewer.
The wine options are very good and reasonably priced; I have a local organic favourite (Butibalusi) and always buy three bottles to take two home.
The aioli is good robust stuff and matches their flame grilled brown bread perfectly.
Mozzies can be an issue, but in recent years they’ve started putting sprays on the tables so it’s much reduced.
Even though it’s next to the motorway and the airport, there’s little noise intrusion.
It opens on Spanish time - and is popular with locals - so unless you’re eating early or don’t mind a long wait, make sure to book in advance.

A great venue, extremely authentic and mainly locals visiting. As you enter from the car park you are met by a raised log fire, then into the restaurant.
This is a meat restaurant, all of which is cooked over an open fire. Even the bread to go with your tomatoes is done on the grill. We had tenderloin beef and boy was it tender and tasty. We had grilled vegetables with a side of aioli, and grilled potatoes - yum. The only reason I didn’t give it 5/5 was that the potatoes were a little on the cool side when they arrived.
It is a casual no frills type of place, and you do need to book, it is busy. We had our table for 2 hours and as we finished at 9pm people were still arriving. Kid friendly too.
As I left the restaurant I booked to go again and asked to be in the room where the open fire cooking is done. If you eat meat you will not be disappointed.

Good points :
- the taste of the meat
- The pleasant setting (birds and old mill).
- the meat is presented before cooking.
- Our server was OK
Negative points:
- Cooking meats. Cold and poorly cooked. For 3 out of 4 the height for a grill restaurant
- Food charged not ordered, Olives, Bread, Tomatoes, and on the "otros" ticket for one euro, despite our request the waiter did not know how to answer what it was and did not deduct it from the Invoice .
- too many tables
- The servers are going in all directions.
- Despite a reservation, we had the right to stay 2 hours.
- The wine is placed on the table and piss off.
- The glasses are not clean
- Presentation of plates at a minimum (a piece of meat on a small white plate with a wedge of lemon).
Conclusion :
They should reduce the number of tables, and the number of servers, to prioritize quality. And thus increase prices to make up the difference. This restaurant wants money and it shows way too much... You are a reservation number.

I'm still sitting in the restaurant and I'm pretty disappointed. We came here on recommendation - the food tasted good - unfortunately both my lamb chops and the potatoes were served more or less cold. Since the rest of my family felt the same, I assume that our food was sitting for longer before it was served. The waiter came and had no room to put the food down because the whole table was full. We then put everything together ourselves and made room. That's not how I imagine it. We also sat in front of empty plates for about 15 minutes. The plates were only cleared away when we waved the waiter over for coffee. All in all: great atmosphere, good taste, very nice service - but there's still a lot of room for improvement.

The only thing that is saved from this site is the site itself. Nice, now. The food is nefarious, 1 kg 200 chop and they bring it to you on a mini plate, uncut, and stick you with a small saw knife. We asked the bartender to chop it up and he says they don't do this service. We finally got it cut off. Cold meat, without flavor, burned on the outside, in fact everything they do on the grill tastes burned, with the rhythm that they put the food, the disorganization that there is... in short, it was going there and after having had dinner we went to another restaurant for dinner. We'll never come back. They're not gonna change anything either. Too bad...

Rib too firm, cooking not respected, fries whatever... Almond cake saves the review a little. Besides it is a real canteen not a restaurant, the waiters do not have time to take care of the customer result we are dealing with 3 different people. Brief dinner ruined... Last thing: go with friends but not as a couple because it is impossible to talk without shouting so much ambient noise

We come here every year when holidaying in Palma and they never fail to deliver first class service. So reasonably priced and such friendly staff. Food is bursting with flavour. Absolutely love it and will definitely be back. Thank you xxx

We love this restaurant. It has a great atmosphere. The food is all BBQ, on biggest BBQ I have ever seen. Don't miss out on the BBQ toast, which you rub with a garlic clove, then add sliced tomato and alioli.

We've been to this restaurant before. It is always delicious and authentic. The courtyard/outdoor area is very cozy. The food is prepared on a very large charcoal grill. We love the different types of meat and the sangria. Always happy to. Highly recommended!!!

I've been there twice and it is always a pleasure. Great meat in a lovely atmosphere. everything is in the right place and the price is not as crazy as the location may suggest. This is definitely a place you cannot miss

It’s a shame I have been to this restaurant a few times in the past on previous trips to Palma. This time I feel that they are the victim of their own success. The restaurant is still very busy but the staff seem to have lost interest and it feels a little bit like a cattle market. The food was ok but not how it used to be. Let’s hope they can make it great again. I will still try it next time I’m Palma but lower my expectation.

Genuinely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in recent memory. Wait staff were all wonderful from the get go, fantastic decor and ambiance inside and out, and the food was phenomenal. It helped that my date was pretty cool too.
