Michelin-starred restaurants in Mallorca:

Below you have a brief description of the restaurants that obtained a Michelin star in the 2020 edition, in which, unfortunately, the Moli den Bou restaurant lost it by closing. Its chef, Tomeu Caldentey, has opened in the same place the restaurant Tomeu Caldentey where he returns to his roots as a cook with a menu proposal at € 50 highly recommended.

Recall that this is just a list, and how all lists each have their own, because “for tastes colors.” For us, a restaurant that should be there, without a doubt, is Dins de Santi Taura, where it offers traditional recipes with its particular style.

2 star Michelin restaurant Zaranda

Located in the 5 star luxury hotel Castell de Son Claret, the Zaranda restaurant is the only restaurant with two Michelin stars in Mallorca. This restaurant opened in 2005 in Madrid, and then moved to Mallorca, and finally settled in Capdella. In 2016 he got his second star.

His philosophy is summarized in this phrase on his website “To be universal, you have to be local.” The chef Fernando Pérez Arellano practices a kitchen with a clear influence of the local product that together with his magnificent technique gives rise to a tasting menu that does not leave you indifferent with dishes such as Majorica oyster, the brunette with crunchy skin, the all i pebre … All this complemented by an excellent wine offer conceived by sommelier Sebastian Longo.

• Open only for dinner from March to October
• It has 3 menus in 2019: € ​​130 memories menu, € 150 experiences menu, € 175 dreams menu, this being the longest menu with approximately 15 dishes.

Maca de Castro

Maca de Castro is the only woman with a Michelin star in Mallorca, and one of the most promising cooks in the gastronomic scene in Spain. The restaurant, formerly called Jardín, has its Michelin star since 2012.

They offer only a tasting menu depending on the seasonal products, with great emphasis on the local product and tradition. In fact, they have their own garden with a countryman dedicated to providing the restaurant with quality products. Its menu is simply spectacular, with dishes with its own style, concentration of flavor and offering a unique experience. A dish that defines the aforementioned very well, is the dessert of peas on biscuit soaked in amontillado, a 3-star Michelin dish.

His wine list is sublime, with the attention of the possibly best wine sommelier of Mallorca, Guillermo de Lucas, who always has excellent wine recommendations that perfectly complement the menu.

• Open from Thursday to Sunday for dinner only, from May 15
• Approximate price of the menu: € 132

Voro del chef Alvaro Salazar

This is a young chef, who in 2018 won the chef of the year award in Spain, and since then has not stopped progressing. We have read that its cuisine is defined as being Balearic and Mediterranean influenced by its traveling spirit, with high quality products. Its wine list is not very extensive, nor as good as in other Michelin star restaurants and they are focused on island wines. It opens from May to October.

Raco des Teix

In the middle of the Sierra de Tramuntana, in the town of Deia we find Raco des Teix, opened in 1999 and awarded its Michelin star in 2002. Chef Josef Sauerschell together with his wife Nori Payeras offer an elegant, sober and very well prepared cuisine. Some of its most emblematic dishes are the lamb with olive crust or the whole sea bass with wild fennel. Very remarkable its assortment of cheeses and its wine list with interesting references. Also special is the location in Deia, and its terrace overlooking the Sierra de Tramuntana.

Adrian Quetglas, a Michelin star in Palma

The restaurant of chef Adrian Queglas has been one of the last to obtain a Michelin star in Mallorca, specifically in 2017. Located in a single store in Palma, the chef turns all his experience in different kitchens and countries through which he has passed. In fact, he spent almost 10 years in Russia, with great success, and for 5 years he opened this restaurant, with great Mediterranean and local influence, avant-garde techniques and high quality products. As indicated on its website: its menus are the summary and the essence of the experiences lived by a chef trained in Mallorca, London, Paris and Moscow with some of the best chefs on the international scene.

Natural products, traditions and different cultures. But so complementary and always from the personal point of view and his individual sense. Natural, clean, organized, very concerned with aesthetics and extremely perfectionist.

Its menu is excellent value for money, with a 5-course lunch menu for € 33. Its tasting menu, only at night, consists of 7 dishes for only € 50.

Es Fum Restaurant

Located in the luxury hotel St Regis Mardavall, its cuisine does not detract from the quality and reputation of the hotel at all. He has a Michelin star since 2012, which he has been maintaining despite chef changes, and since March 2017 he has José Miguel Navarro at the helm.

The Michelin Guide

The Michelin guide is a tourist guide that is published annually with great importance in the world of gastronomy, since it assigns Michelin stars (from one to three) to restaurants that stand out for their quality, creativity and cuisine.

• Three stars indicate an exceptional cuisine that justifies the trip itself.
• Two stars point to first class quality in their type of cuisine.
• A star designates a very good restaurant in its category.

Having one or more Michelin stars means that a restaurant is not only one of the best in the country, but also one of the best in the world. Currently about 2000 restaurants in all countries covered by the guide have stars.

There are a few restaurants that manage to get a Michelin star. They must be maintained year after year. Like any guide, its recommendations are just that, recommendations, which one may or may not share, but which enjoy great relevance and promotion.
