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.

Sacova
Of the places on the main square, this is the best. The labyrinthine dining rooms are all about air-conditioned comfort, while the small crowded terrace is the place to enjoy the night air and the almost constant clatter of passing scooters. The paellas and other rice dishes (€13.50 to €15.80) are faultless, the alioli (garlic mayonnaise) superb and the grilled artichokes excellent.

Restaurant Trencadora
With its shady garden setting, this modern trattoria is worth the five-minute walk east of the centre. It serves up pizza, pasta, seafood and steaks.

C
Restaurant Clivia
Set in what was once a private house, this spot offers fine food (especially the fish) prepared and presented with panache. The service is attentive and the ambience tranquil. Try the prawns from Sóller bay in Mallorca's west, or the house speciality of wild sea bass steamed in white wine.

Latitud N
The rambling old building in which the poet Miquel Costa i Llobera was born, and which later housed the town's first cinema, is now the setting for atmospheric dinners amid a panoply of antiques. The menu consists of a very small selection of dishes, but each – such as the Chateaubriand – is perfectly prepared.

Fàbrica 23
For good market-based Med cooking, this gourmand fave (long since moved from Carrer de Sa Fàbrica) is hard to beat. The menu changes regularly and generally there is only a handful of dishes each day, covering meat, fish and vegetarian tastes. There's a menú del día for €21 and it is usually a good idea to book ahead.

Es Mollet
With its covered veranda just over the road from a little bay (Cala Portitxolet), this is a classic seafood joint, where your main course, the freshest catch of the day, is sold by weight (€45 to €60 per kg). There's a price to pay, but the produce here is selected direct from local fishers and grilled to utter perfection.

Casa Jacinto
A classic since the 1980s, this huge and no-nonsense eatery far from the centre of town attracts Mallorquins from far and wide for copious servings of mainland Spanish and local food, especially grilled meats, including game cuts such as venison and wild boar.

Casa Fernando
No sea views here, but countless photos of local and more distant celebs grin at you from the walls of this ordinary-looking restaurant. Basic linen graces the timber tables in this fishy, ill-lit den, providing a style counterpoint to Ca'n Jordi but virtually the same recipe – well-prepared catch of the day, sold by weight.

Ca'n Eduardo
What better place to sample fish than here, right above the fish market? With its bright, contemporary decor and picture windows overlooking the fishing port, Ca'n Eduardo has been in business since the 1940s and has a loyal clientele. Black-vested waiters serve up grilled fish and seafood and some fantastic rice dishes (minimum of two) – the arroz bogavante (lobster rice) is a favourite.

Caballito de Mar
One of Palma's seafood beacons, the 'Little Seahorse' presents its fruits of the sea in a contemporary key. There are monkfish medallions, sobrassada (spicy Mallorcan sausage) and butifarrón (blood sausage) wrapped in cabbage leaves in a nut sauce, for example. Or you could go for something more traditional, such as the fresh fish of the day, rice dishes or red shrimp from Sóller. Grab a seat on the sunny terrace.

Bruselas
Once a Belgian-owned piano bar (hence the name), this is all about red meat for aesthetes, with pleasantly contemporary decor in the stone-vaulted basement and Argentine steaks – such as solomillo con foie (sirloin with foie gras) – dominating the menu. There are also gourmet hamburgers and it all goes down particularly well with a throaty Mallorcan red, such as Son Bordils Negre.

Béns d’Avall
Benet Vicens is one of the island's foremost chefs and his home kitchen is one of the epicentres of nueva cocina balear – nouvelle cuisine Balearic-style. Avoid complex decisions and opt for the tasting menu. The wine list is superlative, the service attentive if slightly fawning and the sunset to die for.
To get here from Sóller, head 5km along the road to Deià. At about Km57, a sign points you 2km down a winding road to the restaurant, with its hopelessly romantic terrace overlooking the sea and surrounded by greenery.

Ca'l Bisbe
The guests at this lovely hotel can't keep its restaurant all to themselves, with the chance to dine beneath the arches inside or on the pool terrace when the weather's warm. Dishes are creative without being overdone and the service is helpful without being overbearing.

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.

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.
