Restaurante Caballito de Mar

This restaurant offers a typical tourist-oriented menu with average, uninspired food. It wasn’t completely tasteless, but it certainly lacked creativity or distinct flavor. We wouldn’t return. That said, the location is charming—right in front of a small church in the historic part of town—and the terrace has a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food doesn’t match the setting.

Beautiful restaurant and great food!! We were 1.5 hrs late for our reservation but they were extremely accommodating even though the restaurant was super popular. We got the seafood paella, buratta and the crème brûlée for dessert. The drinks were great. Excellent food!!

Amazing quality of food, all of the sauce on the point and unexpected flavors. The head chef deserved for the Michelin star. I’m so appreciate to being here.

unfortunately, this restaurant practises unbelievable cruelty to animals! lobsters are placed alive on ice so that they can hardly move, with taped claws, to wait for days to be eaten. maybe even cooked alive, we couldn't understand that. but the animals are kept alive in a display case alongside other marine animals - that should not be allowed. not for a brief human enjoyment!!!! Why lobsters must not be kept on ice: Animal welfare: Lobsters are sensitive creatures and can suffer on ice as they are not anaesthetised and the ice lowers their body temperature considerably. please have more compassion again, people! almost all people are over-saturated and have no need to let animals suffer - PLEASE!

Excellent seafood, a great wine selection, and fair prices. Lovely terrace and location. Service was good, though slightly understaffed. Overall, warmly recommended.

Lovely terrase and lovely personal, Daniela welcomed us soo sweet, Paolo took notes and served us a DELICIOUS courses, we had Lobster Paella and Steak Paella. OMG out of this WORLD!! We ordered some desserts, I cant describe how tasty they were. I recomend it, we will come back surely

This was recommended to us by our hotel. Fantastic service, atmosphere and food! The Paella is a must! I also recommend their red Vermouth. It tasted just like an old fashioned.

Loved it here. The food was exceptional, as was the service. A new member of staff was being trained and she was so good. I can tell they are striving to offer a silver service standard.

Food was OK, but we had better food in Palma. We were referred to Caballito by a local as a great paella spot, although I feel it was a major tourist spot. My husband and I shared an appetizer (Andalusian style squid with aioli of squid ink) and a seafood paella for 2. The squid was actually calamari with a hint of squid ink as décor. Calamari was good, nothing we haven't tasted before. The paella was good, although they overcooked the seafood. There was however, plenty of seafood for my husband and I to enjoy. The venue has a great view, especially if you want something a little more romantic.

Excellent service and great customer service. The food was delicious and the chef was very friendly, very creative with the food and presentation. If you are in Mallorca, this restaurant should be a must.

Excellent service; from arriving to ordering, about 5 different waiters catered to us in every way. Very personable, polite, and attentive staff. We've tried paellas in Madrid, Barcelona, and now Mallorca, this one has been the best; we had the Paella Mixta, Amazing! Great spot, super treatment, and delicious food!

Quite a touristic place but the location is great. We had seafoodpaella and mixed paella and both were absolutely amazing. Make sure to go there with bug hunger because tje paella portions are massive! However you must be at least two people to order a paella. From experince, if you are four people, take a paella for 3, it will be more than enough for 4. As desert, we took mascarpone with strawberries which is always amazing:)

I had the Sea Bass !! Omg !! Amazing!!! ;) nice location, located where everything is, in Palma De Mallorca!!!

With the exception of the very charming waitress named Coumba, I had a very disappointing experience at Caballito de Mar. The fish and paella looked amazing but were not available to me because I am traveling solo. I went to his restaurant because my hotel recommended this spot and I wanted to be outside. It's SO gorgeous in Mallorca! However, I was served a very low quality cava and my steak was barely cooked even though another waiter and I both agreed on medium. I'm sad to report this under par meal. I would recommend going with a group and trying many dishes, the steak not being one of them:)

Went in for a snack a little after noon, food wasn't good at all and the service, not even worth mentioning. Ordered an appetizer to start, but the waiter was in such a bad mood that we decided to go eat elsewhere instead of staying for our mains.
