A gastronomic journey across Mallorca through the restaurants of Grup Santi Taura: top-quality local produce, signature cuisine and Mediterranean flavours in Palma, Cala Sant Vicenç and Montuïri.
When you stay at El Vicenç de la Mar, overlooking Cala Molins, discovering Mallorca also means experiencing it through its food. From our hotel in the north of the island, we have selected five of the best restaurants in Mallorca, all belonging to Grup Santi Taura, which showcase different ways of understanding Mallorcan and Mediterranean cuisine, from creative fine dining to more relaxed sharing concepts, always based on premium local, seasonal ingredients.
Below you will find our top 5 restaurants in Mallorca recommended by El Vicenç de la Mar, the perfect guide to planning your special lunches and dinners during your stay on the island.
1. U Vicenç: new Mallorcan cuisine with sea views
On the rooftop of El Vicenç de la Mar you will find U Vicenç, the hotel’s gastronomic restaurant and one of the most distinctive spaces of Grup Santi Taura. Here, Mallorcan cuisine is reinterpreted from a contemporary angle, with menus that change according to the season and a carefully curated selection of local produce from across the island.
Fresh fish from the harbour, seasonal vegetables from nearby farms and selected meats are prepared using modern techniques, always respecting the true flavour of each ingredient. Dining at U Vicenç means enjoying creative cuisine that speaks of Mallorca in every dish, while taking in the views over Cala Sant Vicenç, the mountains and the sea. It is the perfect choice if you are looking for a fine-dining experience in the north of Mallorca without leaving the hotel.
2. U Mayol: seafront bistro with Mediterranean soul
On the ground floor of El Vicenç de la Mar, U Mayol offers a more relaxed experience, with the spirit of a seafront bistro and a clear focus on Mediterranean flavours. The menu revolves around rice dishes, fish and seafood, grilled meats and sharing plates, always prepared with high-quality local ingredients, from fresh fish caught nearby to vegetables and aromatic herbs from the island.
It is the ideal restaurant for a bright lunch after swimming in Cala Molins or for a laid-back dinner with a coastal feel. The combination of simple techniques, excellent produce and precise execution results in honest, flavourful cuisine that is closely linked to its surroundings. From El Vicenç de la Mar, U Mayol is our recommendation when you want to eat well by the sea in a casual yet refined atmosphere.
3. Dins Santi Taura: Mallorcan fine dining in Sa Calatrava (Palma)
In Palma, inside the hotel El Llorenç Parc de la Mar, you will find Dins Santi Taura, the flagship of the group and an essential reference among Mallorca’s best restaurants. Here, Mallorcan fine dining is built on top-quality local produce, traditional recipes and ongoing research into the island’s culinary history.
Its tasting menu unfolds as a gastronomic journey through Mallorca, where every dish tells a story: from the agricultural landscapes of the interior and the seafaring cuisine of the ports to classic recipes reinterpreted with modern techniques. Respect for the product and for the seasons is absolute, and you can feel it in every detail of the experience. If you are staying at El Vicenç de la Mar, a visit to Dins in Palma is an excellent excuse to combine a day in the city with a truly special dinner.
4. Urbà: cosmopolitan sharing cuisine in Palma
Also at El Llorenç Parc de la Mar, Urbà represents the most cosmopolitan and laid-back side of Santi Taura’s cuisine. It is a space created for eating, drinking, sharing and enjoying, with a menu that blends international inspiration and local produce, always under the Mediterranean light.
Dishes designed for sharing, familiar flavours with a creative twist, hints of urban cuisine and a solid base of local ingredients make Urbà a perfect choice for lunch with friends or an informal dinner in Palma. From El Vicenç de la Mar, we recommend it to guests who want to discover another side of Grup Santi Taura in the capital, with a less formal proposal than Dins but the same care in the selection of ingredients.
5. Es Pati de Montuïri: rural fine dining at Es Figueral Nou
In the rural heart of Mallorca, at the country hotel Es Figueral Nou, you will find Es Pati de Montuïri, one of the group’s most special restaurants. Located in a traditional Mallorcan courtyard, this space offers a gastronomic experience that combines fine dining, tranquillity and the Mediterranean landscape.
The menu is built around local, seasonal produce: garden vegetables, Mallorcan olive oil, selected meats and fish that reach the island, prepared with contemporary technique and a sensitivity clearly influenced by the rural setting. Dining at Es Pati means rediscovering Mallorcan cuisine from the calm of the countryside, ideal for a gastronomic escape from Cala Sant Vicenç or for those who want to explore a more authentic and unhurried side of the island.
One philosophy, five gastronomic experiences in Mallorca
U Vicenç, U Mayol, Dins Santi Taura, Urbà and Es Pati de Montuïri share the same philosophy: cooking Mallorca with absolute respect for local produce, seasonality and the island’s culinary memory.
