One of the best ways to learn about the history and culture of a place is through its gastronomy. That’s why we’ve created this food-focused walking tour around Palma, combining local flavours with cultural discovery.
We’ll take a relaxed route through the Old Town, avoiding the busiest tourist areas, and stopping at handpicked locations to taste Mallorca’s most traditional products. The itinerary adapts slightly depending on the size of the group to ensure a more personal experience, offering a genuine look at local life through its food, history and everyday corners of the city.
During the itinerary we will visit some of the most interesting spots of Palma, where we will make different stops. We will also visit some of the little-known places related to gastronomy in Palma:
-
Visit the Santa Clara Convent and taste the nuns' handmade cookies.
-
Sample traditional Mallorcan empanadas and sobrasada.
-
Enjoy a tapas experience at a local venue (location varies depending on group size).
-
Try the classic almond ice cream with ensaimada at Can Joan de S’Aigo, one of Palma's gastronomic institutions.
And to end our guided walk, we will visit the ancient olive tree in front of the Town Hall in Plaça de Cort, where we take a group photo to wrap up the experience.
Palma Food Tour Reviews
Really nice food tour in Palma. Small group, relaxed pace and authentic Mallorcan flavours. Ideal for food lovers and first-time visitors.
A very enjoyable Palma food tour with excellent local tastings. Well organised, friendly guide and a nice mix of history, walking and food. Great way to experience the city.
We absolutely loved this Palma food tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. The small group size made the experience feel very personal, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable about both Mallorcan food and Palma’s history. We discovered hidden corners of the Old Town that we would never have found on our own, while tasting a great variety of local products along the way. The convent sweets, traditional empanadas and the final stop for ensaimada and almond ice cream were definite highlights. It felt like a perfect balance between sightseeing and food, and a fantastic introduction to Palma’s culture.
Really enjoyed the tour with Joan - great mix of history and local knowledge with tasting Mallorcan food specialities. All done with great humour and enthusiasm. Great get your bearings of old Palma.
It is must do do this great Palma de Mallorca food tour, Joao is an enthusiastic tour guide. He showed us places a normal tourist would not find or try. And beside the historic buildings he showed us the food and the wine was fantastic. And Joao switched between the languages which is impressive. We would do it a second time! Thanks to Joao!
Fantastic tour and they catered well for my nut allergy and my daughter being a veggie :)
Jeanine was fabulous on our private tour. She made an extra effort for the vegetarian members in the group. Very knowledgeable and friendly!
Very well organised tour with friendly knowledgeable guides. The food was excellent and so was the vino. We thought we knew Palma de Mallorca well but we have been taken to places we'd never been before. We love this city!
Excellent tour. Good mix of culture and food, guide very knowledgeable. Stops at nunnery for cookies, delicatessen for empanadas amd sobrasada. Then the food market for a bowl of tapas a glass of wine and some iberico ham (40mins free time here to wander round or buy yourself another glass of wine). Then another stop for famous mallorcan bread and almond ice cream. Very generous, 3 hours well spent learning about Mallorcan food.
I simply loved the 3 hours tour - tasted some incredible local food, wine and the Majorcan Herbes. I was a bit late to reach the pick up point and Melanie, our tour guide, was so kind and gentle to welcome me with a huge smile. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and of course funny. Very well explained various details of how the food originated etc. Highly recommended..! :)
