Mercado del Olivar

Mercat de l’Olivar is an absolute must-visit when in Palma de Mallorca. Bright, spacious, and immaculately kept, it captures the essence of Mallorcan food culture perfectly. The range and freshness of produce are remarkable — from colourful fruit and vegetables to first-class meat and seafood, including an impressive fish market with oysters and prawns so fresh they could have come straight from the boats. What makes it even better is that you can eat as you explore. The corner stalls on the outer edges serve wine, beer, and delicious small plates — perfect for taking a break and enjoying the lively atmosphere. The tapas counters inside are also excellent, giving you a true taste of local flavours without needing to leave the market. The whole space feels vibrant yet relaxed, filled with friendly vendors and locals doing their daily shopping. Arrive early if you can — mornings are best for soaking up the energy and freshness. A wonderful experience overall — great food, a friendly atmosphere, and an authentic taste of Mallorca. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend it😍 You can try a wide variety of fresh seafood there at very reasonable prices, and everything was absolutely delicious. I also tried fresh oysters for the first time ☺️they were truly amazing! You can even find authentic Iranian caviar and enjoy the experience. It’s a bit crowded and noisy, but totally worth it for an hour of great food and atmosphere! 🥰

A very nice place to check out produce, buy n taste. There are food stands and bars inside as well so one can just come eat n drink while enjoying the market. From tapas bars to sushi n Korean street food... we had fun walking through the market.

Seafood paradise! Totally nondescript building housing 10 fishmongers and as many Seafood, Sushi, Oyster bars. Go early, shuts at 3pm. Lovely large Albarino €4, enough said. Enjoy 😉

It is what you expect: an interesting and tasty experience. At the 1st floor it is a good supermarket. Also you can find a bistro with the same name which is a quite good option to eat.

Definitely a much go place. A big market consist of fresh fruits vegetables meat and dry food. Also Various selection of stalls that serve cooked food, tapas and drinks.

Amazing place! Must visit. But don’t go on a Saturday if you can help it as it’s too busy. Wander around then sit at one of the bars and have tapas either in the fish market or the meat market. Loved it!

Amazing place, very clean and smells amazing of all of the fruits, vegetables and smoked meat. A delight for every tourist.

This farmers market with fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, food stalls, etc is a must do when in Mallorca. If you don't eat at Mercer Negre, you have missed out. I'd fly to Mallorca just for his delicious creations. I wish I had found this place earlier because I would have gone every day.

Lovely market with everything you need and want. Food is fresh and great. Highly recommend visiting. Service is good and most waiters if not all speak a couple languages. The ambience is that of a typical indoor Spanish farmers market.

This indoor market comes recommended in every tourist travel guide for Palma de Mallorca. And for good reason! Lots of interesting stalls (especially seafood) to explore and have a snack at. However, we. were especially surprised at the quality of the baked goods at the bakery stall. Great empanadas! The upper level contains a large supermarket, great to replenish the water supplies when visiting the city.

If you want fresh fish, you'll want to head directly to the Mercat d'el Olivar. This medium sized market is full of stalls selling all sorts of seafood. Oysters, clams, fresh sliced and fileted fish, whole fish, different kinds, too. And in addition to the fresh fish that's for taking home, there are a couple of spots selling food that's ready to eat. Pinxtos and wine and platters of oysters, crab, shrimp and such. It was busy and it was loud and it looked like a good time!

I stopped here a few times on my trip to Mallorca, for breakfast and lunch. When you're an early bird, the markets are a great place to have breakfast, since not much else is open before 9. The setup of this particular market is great, because the fresh fish and meat are in one section, and almost everything else (including the cafes) is in the other section, so you don't have to smell fish the whole time. If you're looking to try a wide variety of authentic Mallorcan tapas and pastries, this is a wonderful place to start. There are tons of stalls, and the quality was good.

Gorgeous indoor market with a wide array of produce, not much in the way of organic but plenty of Mallorquin produce. There are also some shops with household goods (some nice though pricy olive wood salad bowls), a quite decent wine shop and loads of meat/fish (hold your breath - it's quite horrific). Excellent little vegan cooking school upstairs as well as a conventional grocery store with packaged goods. This is a great spot to pop in to grab items for dinner or a picnic. Not far from Placa d'Espana and well worth a visit.

Really excellent market that has lots of little tapas bars so you can try their various fish, shellfish, meats, etc. in a variety of different formats. I particularly recommend the salmon bar and the sushi bar by the entrance. Apparently one of the sushi bars is run by a michelin chef with two stars, which is pretty cool! I definitely thought his salmon sashimi was fresh and delicious, and the wasabi was quite authentic :) The olive-and-cheese vendors are particularly tasty too, though a bit overpriced. The oysters looked great too! I think it's the perfect place for an early lunch (11:30am or so saw a lot of people having snacks but there was no overcrowding). As for the downsides- some of the bars that are inside the market have a bit of an attitude! I had a drink at one while charging my phone and when I was done, I was asked to leave so that I wouldn't be taking up the seat any longer than necessary. I think that was pretty rude since there were at least 6 empty chairs right next to me, and I'd already purchased something from them. As other people have mentioned, it is certainly pricier than average but I think quite worthwhile for meat/fish/shellfish.

there is a restaurant upstairs named: "you buy it, we cook it." Buy the very fresh seafood (or meat) downstairs at the market and bring it up it to be cooked. During October 2017, the cost to cook as much food as you want is 3.50 euros/person and each person must order a drink (any drink, even tea) to avoid paying 10 euros a person. Enjoy!

Fish, seafood, meat, cheese, fruits and veggies ... you name it, they have it! It may be a little more expensive than a regular supermarket and the open hours are certainly more restricted, but it's definetly worth it quality and taste wise. Local tip: set your alarm clock earlier than usual and try to be there before 9 am to enjoy it less packed than usual and get your hands on the real good stuff before the crowd arrives.

Yes it's cool walking inside and gawking at all the seafood and meats but eating here is quite pricey.
