This restaurant rated high for Spanish food on trip advisor so expected top quality meal. Nope, nothing close. It wasn't bad just average. The staff and service was very good however I put food first of importance before service hence my average rating. We had far better tapas at lunch within the market in Santa catalina.. It was tasty and... More

This was a return visit after several years and did not disappoint. FAntastically fresh tapas which have amazing flavour. Very fast service. Waiters friendly and fun. The food was just so tasty - our favourites were the chicken croquetas, the tortilla, the whitebait and the devils on horseback. Great wines too. A must if you are in Palma.

While wandering around Palma, we walked up to a local young woman and asked her if she could recommend a good restaurant with traditional mallorcan food. She didn't hesitate to direct us to La Cueva and we were so lucky that she did. It was some of the best food we tried during our entire trip. When we sat down,... More

Next to hotel appuntadores, this little Cave treasures an incredible mallorquine and maroccan cuisine which must be definitely tried. A platter of fried fish must be definitely tried. Simply delicious. Other plates include sweet chillies filled in with squids muscles and herbs. A must.

Hidden down an alleyway and at basement level this place is very easy to miss! It was by chance that we passed by and saw through a window the cosy and busy restaurant so stopped to take a look. The menu is fairly extensive and the waiters are happy to explain what each dish is and how large each one... More

This restaurant has to be the best tapas one I have visited. The menu is extensive and the portions generous, the waiter advised us to limit our selection as there would be too much to eat. The food is freshly cooked, tasty and well presented. Highly recommended, people were queuing down the street as we left, glad we discovered this... More

Because our expectations were so high, the food was a let down. Very friendly staff in very nice surroundings. Lots of people who obviously enjoyed themselves, and so did we. We ordered three tapas from i rich menu. Chicken nuggets, figs wrapped in bacon and some fried potatoes. The chicken was a mushy grey matter, the potatoes were small fried... More

Ignoring the fact we were told it would be 10min wait for a table which turned into an hour (partly not their fault due to slow diners, although seating the locals before any tourists didn't help- we weren't the only ones who nearly walked out), the food was distinctly average. Speaking from experience after living in Spain for two years,... More
