Ca N’Antuna
This is a classic of Mallorcan cooking. It's locally famous for its oven-cooked lamb and other meats, but the calamari stuffed with meat is a great order. The hand juicer on the sill connecting the kitchen with the terrace is a nice touch – order up lots of local orange juice! The village and mountain views from the terrace are worth lingering over.

Pegasón Y el Pajarito Enmascarado
Just off the main road, this cosy cavernous spot offers a mix of pasta and other popular favourites and a selection of local specialties, such as tumbet (Mallorcan ratatouille) with roast pork.

Ca’s Carreter
In an atmospheric former cart workshop, Ca’s Carreter is a welcoming spot that serves unpretentious Mallorcan cooking, including fresh local fish and other mainly regional ingredients. The lamb casserole with honey, salmon with Sóller oranges, and zucchini stuffed with fish and spinach particularly caught our eye. It's a short pleasant walk northwest of the centre.

Restaurante a Todo Vapor
This original place has a simple philosophy: all of its ingredients must come from the nearby Mercat de Santa Catalina and all dishes are steamed to ensure the goodness remains locked in. We especially enjoyed the couscous.

Nautic
One of Palma's standout seafood options in the Royal Sailing Club, Nautic does all the usual grilled fishes and shellfish, as well as rice dishes, but you'll also find surprises such as zucchini stuffed with lobster in a sobrassada sauce. It's a classy place and an easy walk from central Palma.

Simply Fosh
Lovingly prepared Mediterranean grub with a special touch is the order of the day in the convent refectory, one of the home kitchens of Michelin-starred chef Marc Fosh. The range of set menus is a wonderful way to sample high-quality cooking at a reasonable price, but there are also à la carte choices.
There's a three-course lunchtime menú del día (€19.50) as well as a five-course menú degustación (tasting menu; €58).

Restaurant Celler Sa Premsa
A visit to this local institution is almost obligatory. It's a cavernous tavern filled with huge old wine barrels and has walls plastered with faded bullfighting posters – you find plenty such places in the Mallorcan interior but they're a dying breed here in Palma. Mallorcan specialities dominate the menu.
Come here for the well-prepared roast lamb, tumbet, frito mallorquín, pork with cabbage, and rabbit with onion. But it's the atmosphere that you'll really remember.

La Baranda
An easygoing Italian – with exposed stone, warm-yellow-hued walls, and simple timber furniture and art scattered about – this is a good choice for wood-fired pizzas, pasta dishes and a range of homemade cakes for dessert. You can also get tapas downstairs.

Can Mito
With a well-earned reputation for getting the basics right, Can Mito is well priced and has a pleasant outdoor terrace. It's best known for its rice dishes and lobster stews.

Ca'n Jordi
One of the classic seafood restaurants in Palma, Ca'n Jordi attracts local businessfolk and seafood-lovers of every ilk. On your way into the overlit but otherwise tastefully presented dining area you'll see fresh fish (sold by weight) awaiting your choice. It doesn't have views (it's a block inland), but its seafood more than makes up for it.

Bar-Restaurante Sa Duaia
On the road down to Cala Torta, a branch road climbs to Bar-Restaurante Sa Duaia, which serves up decent Mallorcan cooking to go with the pretty views and accommodation options.

Afrikana
Get your fingers messy in this pan-African delight, with dishes extending from Madagascar to Morocco, from Ethiopia to Benin and around 20 other African countries. There's a good vegetarian selection, like the Angolan beans, coconut cream and curry mix. For a whiff of the sea, try gombo (from Benin): prawn and shrimp mixed with okra and other vegetables. Wash it down with hibiscus or tamarind juice.
