La Bodeguilla

What a fantastic little restaurant in the centre of Palma. Recommended by the Michelin and very much deserves it! Maybe the best lamb I’ve had in a restaurant. Portions are generous and everything is well prepared and delicious. Interior is quite nice and cosy. We were lucky to be able to walk in without a reservation, but I’d recommend you make one before.

Absolutely amazing Tapas Bar/Restaurant in the center of Palma. We were welcomed so warmly, and the staff made us feel right at home. Their recommendations were spot on, every dish we tried was excellent. The atmosphere was relaxed, making it the perfect to enjoy a great evening in Palma. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy delicious tapas with fantastic service!

I had a fantastic dinner at La Bodeguilla in Palma, Mallorca. From start to finish, everything was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. We began with pan con tomate and jamón as appetizers – simple, fresh, and full of flavor. The steak tartare was also excellent, well-balanced and beautifully seasoned. For the main course, we tried the lamb and the marinated pork shoulder. Both were delicious, but I especially loved the lamb – it was tender, with just the right amount of fat. The pork shoulder was rich and flavorful, especially with the special sauce and pistachios that added a unique touch. We also enjoyed a lovely bottle of local wine, which paired perfectly with the meal. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great dining experience in Palma!

I made a reservation through the restaurant’s website over a month in advance, as we were celebrating a birthday. The booking process was smooth, and we were given a quiet table, just as we had requested. The service was average overall. We felt that we received a bit less attention, perhaps because we didn’t order a full bottle of wine. Starters: • The pork loin was very tender and flavorful – 10/10 • The beef tartare – 7/10 • The meat cannelloni – 7/10 • The roasted octopus – 6/10 For the main course, we had the lobster. Unfortunately, there was a mistake in the preparation, and the lobster meat turned out a bit tough. The paella was quite different from the traditional version I’m familiar with — it had a slightly sweet flavor, which wasn’t to my personal taste, though others might enjoy it. We found this restaurant online, where it came highly recommended and was noted for having a Michelin star. However, after dining there, I felt that the overall experience was similar to many other mid- to high-end restaurants. It’s possible that, due to its high popularity and constant full bookings, the consistency and quality of the dishes may be harder to maintain. Considering its Michelin star status, I believe there is still room for improvement.

This review is from my personal perspective. Food was mediocre. Nothing was exceptional. Service was neutral - no smile, no warm welcome, no questions asked, no "extra" interaction, just taking in the order. Atmosphere was just boring and sad. I believe that the michelin at the entrance should be taken away. Sorry, but not coming back.

All the dishes at this restaurant were incredible but the one that stands out the most is the roasted suckling pig (from Mallorcan black pig). The skin was perfectly crunchy and salted, the meat was so silky, juicy, and flavorful. It came with salad and potatoes and was overall amazing. We also loved the octopus that was super tender, as well as the burrata with a special twist of pairing with strawberries.

Wonderfully decorated restaurant. Highly skilled and friendly servers. The food was incredible, the shrimp carpaccio was great and the txkoko pil pil sauce is so flavorful. Great wine list and the upstairs main room is surrounded by wine bottles. The roast suckling pig blew my mind and the lamb was incredible as well. Flavorsome and tender. It’s a must try and so close to my hotel.

Overall a great meal with just a couple of minor points - would give a 4.5 if I could. Starters were on point - delicious, especially the croquettes. Beautiful but simple pan con tomate. The main course lobster was a little disappointing - expected slightly more in terms of volume and could have been more tender. Be warned - you need to do some of the cracking yourself. The suckling pig was rich and delicious. Service was a little slow at the start but then on point with a great wine recommendation: Son Juliana Cuvee 2, 2018.

Food (5/5): INCREDIBLE! La Bodeguilla earned its Michelin star for a reason. Their classic jamon iberico is a must have for the table. I love the flavor and the quantity. There was so much of it for two people. My absolute favorite was their pulpo which was served with potatos and eggs. This dish was so rich and dense. The paella took some time to cook, but it was well worth the wait. The seafood was cooked to perfection with its easy bites and flavorful rice. Lastly, the oysters were not only gargantuan but also tasted fresh without the fishiness. Price (5/5): Of all the dishes we had and a bottle of wine, I paid $200 USD. Ambiance (5/5): Such a cute little vibe! I love the jamon legs hanging and the wine wall. It's a cozy spot with an upscale environment. Service (5/5): Our waitress was so attentive. She made sure we were well taken care of and she's trilingual: Tagalog, English, and Spanish.

Suckling pig was out of this world and the risotto with seafood was the best in Spain. Ambience is impeccable for dessert and get the French test.

6 of us are in agreement...this place is amazing!!! The best meal over the course of our vacation which included Barcelona, Cannes, amongst others. The flavors...the wine...the overall experience was top notch!!!

Amazing Michelin find!! From the pan de tomate to the rice dish to the service! So lucky we made it in with a late rsvp! Recommend this to anyone visiting Barcelona

The value is unbeatable for the portion and quality. Food and service was top notch. Great wine selection and everything we had was probably the best we had all week from different restaurants. Also one of the must go places in Mallorca.

Literally the best restaurant we went to in Spain. We stumbled upon this restaurant on our honeymoon while we were walking around Palma. We started with the calamari. Wonderfully fried - not too much of a crust - and not overcooked. The pepper aoli was also delicious. We then got the pork shoulder - the best pork I've had. So tender and the smoked leeks gave a wonderful deep flavor to the dish. The pork sat on a bed of mashed root vegetable but didn't seem familiar like potato. We also ordered the senyoret rice and this was one of the best paella dishes we had in Spain. This was a bit too much food because we also ordered the bread service with aoli that was delicious and very garlicky but if we ever come back to Mallorca, we will definitely be visiting again.

I had done a little research on restaurants prior to coming to Palma and decided to go to La Bodeguilla. The entrance and interior are certainly unique and beautiful. Our service was absolutely fantastic! The food was top notch, the suckling pig was juicy and tender! The same can be said of the steak. Croquets were tasty and the panko was the perfect level of crisp.

Tapas restaurant in the heart of Palma. It's nearby all the shopping spots & you can reserve a table online so it's very convenient! Food was pretty good and that's coming someone who doesn't like Spanish food. I did think the dishes here were the heaviest ones from our trip so best to go hungry. Suckling pig was our fav! Super tender meat with just the right amount of oink flavor. I have no memory of the paella so that's that but I loved the low temp egg!! It's served in a rich foie gras sauce with the perfect amount of truffle & sweetness. Kinda tastes like mushroom soup but way better. Arroz del Senyoret €26.50 La Bodeguilla's roast suckling pig €32.50* Red tuna tartare €21.50 Low-temperature egg €16.50* 미슐랭 가이드에서 찾은 타파스 식당! 스패니시 음식을 안좋아해서 감흥은 없었지만 가볼만하다 쇼핑거리랑 가깝고 예약도 온라인으로 가능하니까 편해서 좋음. 빠예야는 기억이 안나니까 무난했던것 같구 돼지가 맛있었다. 엄청 촉촉하면서 고기맛도 담백하게 나서 개인적인 베스트는 트러플 수란(?) 푸아그라가 들어간 리치한 소스에 트러플향까지 더해져 헤비한데 약간 양송이 스프같다. 빵 찍어내기도 좋은맛. 옆에서 친구가 별로였다고 하니까 호불호 갈릴수도 있다. 다른곳에 비해 가격은 센데 분위기가 좀더 고급지다~

Excellent Tapas in a great part of the old town port of Mallorca. Service was excellent and entertaining.

Seafood risotto 8.34/10- this was delicious, however I was hoping that this would have more seafood as there are hardly any prawns. The rice was perfectly seasoned and this was incredibly filling and had so much flavor Tuna tartare 4/10- it was good, everything was done right. Served cold and not room temperature thank god. However it was mushy and they mushed it with a sweet sauce which was very overpowering. Tuna is a salty fish so it was really not a great mix Octopus -1/10- the egg was undercooked. The octopus tasted like an eraser, honestly very gross. Had to politely spit it out into a napkin, which was so disappointing and sickening - @princess_ary_ Salad 6/10- the greens of the salad were not that great, however it was honestly just a mid salad. There was no dressing and olive oil and vinegar had to be added into the salad for flavor and those condiments were meant for the bread. However, points were given to the presentation of the salad. - @mansi.shahh Olive oil and balsamic vinegar with bread 10/10 all around- the oil was very truffley, and the bread had olives in it which was fantastic Sangria 8.79/10- so delicious and refreshing with a hint of sweet flavor This was a Michelin star restaurant located in Spain, it was good however everyone had quite conflicting reviews and we honestly all agree it could have been much better. Their wine however was excellent and they had a huge selection (also given the fact they are a wine bar with tapas). In addition, they don't have many vegan or vegetarian options.

Found this gem by pure happenstance. We didn't think we would be able to walk in and be seated, and we were! They informed us that there was a reservation two hours later and that we would have to be finished by then, which we understood. I had the filet and it was the best I've ever had. The aioli was amazing, everything was fantastic. This was the highlight of my first trip to Mallorca and I haven't stopped talking about it.

They have an impressive selection of wines. The food we had was great, croquetas, scallops, pan with tomate and steak. The ambiance is great and the decor very cool.

Beautiful quaint established in the beautiful historic streets of Mallorca. Ladies and gents, this is what we call fine dinning. Great selection of dishes with playful use of truffles. The presentation of each dish was very carefully ensembled and brought out very timely. This resturant shines in their wide selection of wine. The resturant is Michelin 2021. We were able to make a reservation the day of to this gem. Very highly recommend.

I toured Spain and La Bodeguilla was by far the best meal I had in Spain, and one of the most amazing meals I have ever had. The Cochinillo is a must have, as well as the octopus starter. My only complaint is that it was a bit pricey, but this shouldn't be a worry for anybody looking for a fancy meal that is not a University student.

This is a special restaurant a bit off the beaten path, but well worth finding it. We were only in Palma for the day and the lunch at La Bodeguilla made this a perfect day. We shared the tuna tartar and the lobster rice stew.....truly a brilliant dish. A nice Spanish wine selection and great attentive service. Until next time

Very nice, cosy place to eat tapas. We were 10 and got à great table between wine shelves, very nice atmosphère! Food was great, amazing jamon iberico, good croquetas etc Great wine : Gallinas y focas

We had walked by La Bodeguilla a few times in town already, and it stood out in part because of the unique circular windows that make it easy to peek inside and imagine the possibilities of the food you could be having. So when our first choice for lunch didn't pan out (reservations are taken quite a bit more seriously when it comes to lunch in Palma), we were able to snag a spot at La Bodeguilla before it started filling up for the lunch crowd. Given the contours of the building it's housed in, the dining sections are in little odd nooks and crannies here and there. We got an elevated table right next to all the wine hanging on the walls and just outside of the kitchen, where we could see some interesting happenings (the lobster preparation is a bit...different from what I am used to in the U.S.). Our waitress got our order in quickly and brought dishes out one by one in a timely fashion - important since we had a flight to catch. I went with a nice glass of red to go with the meal - nothing super special, but like any good restaurant here, there are plenty more wine choices if you want. Objectively, this was the best meal we had from a pure, smacking-your-lips experience. Everything just hit the spot, and if you want the real deal when it comes to Spanish cuisine executed to perfection, this place has got the goods. We started out with ham croquettes (8 of them - the order was larger than we anticipated), and wow - although the inside was gooey, cheesy and filled with bites of ham like at other spots - the fried crust was done perfectly...almost like how really good fried chicken is, but with a croquette instead. Next up were grilled razor clams covered in a thin slice of lard that very much resembled bacon in taste. The clams were flavorful and drizzled generously with oil, if perhaps a little less grilled than I had expected based on past experiences in Barcelona. The poached egg with truffle foie gras that was next...look out! It's more like foie gras and truffle soup served with a poached egg you can crack open and make even more decadent. Despite the ingredients, it's not too heavy - a little thicker than regular soup, but not by much - and the flavor, safe to say, was out of this world (foie gras + truffle is probably my favorite flavor profile combination). To finish off, we had one meat main - the roasted suckling pig, which was absolutely mind-blowing...a wonderfully crispy skin; very juicy, succulent meat with each bite; and sliced potatoes that were softened and soaked up the pork juice. We didn't have to stick around to try dessert, but I have no doubt it would be amazing. Next time we come back to visit Palma, this will be at the top of the list for places to come back and eat at. Every single bite was phenomenal, and I loved the modern finishes of the restaurant in a setup that was laid out around an old building's idiosyncratic design. Great in every sense of the word!

This was my favorite Majorcan meal. We ate and drank on a glass-top wine barrel and enjoyed ourselves by breaking bread and bantering into the night. They have an extensive and interesting cellar packed with over 300 wines to choose from and we enjoyed a local varietal. We sampled lots of traditional tapas to start (e.g. Iberian pork cheeks with chocolate and thyme, patata bravas, squid, ham sliced right from the leg etc.) and devoured our mains and wine. The choice for my main didn't seem particularly Catalonian at a first glance (duck confit) but the twist was that it was cooked and served with puree of aniseed, Sóller oranges and green olives and this couldn't be more representative of the island of Majorca. The very next day I was charmed when we took the vintage wooden train to the town of Sóller and passed by miles of orange and lemon orchards and olive groves (not to mention figs, pears and almonds). Definitely stop by La Bodeguilla if you're passing through Palma!

We were in Palma de Mallorca for only one day. We traveled the entire island on the hop on/off bus. After 2/3 hours of sightseeing we were extremely hungry and really wanted to have some Spanish tapas. We are 4 very experienced diners and eat out often in Miami and NYC . This may have been the very best lunch we four had ever experienced. We ordered the dried beef with grilled artichokes, burrata cheese with anchovies, grilled octopus with spicy foam and potatoes and pork with date toppings. Each dish was better than the previous one and the service was excellent with perfect timing between plates. Lastly we topped off this feast with two fantastic deserts. Crumbled apple with gelato and creme brûlée!! What a meal!! Don't miss it!!!

Nice lunchtime restaurant in central location. Feels a bit like a wine cellar. Good food and not complicated. No doubt do dinner also

Really good wines (we love the Binigrau ones) and good tapas! Went there several times and its been always a pleasure!

Nice small restaurant close to the touristic placa but on a narrow side street. Very good service, friendly and efficient. We shared four rather big tapas, which was perfect for two persons. Rounded off with a chocolate dessert. Yummy!
