Es Mollet

Palma de Mallorca


This classic seafood joint is the ideal place to sample the delights of the deep, in the former fishing village of Portixol. The catch of the day (sold by weight: €45 to €60 per kg) begs with clear eyes to be picked, while squid with sobrassada (paprika-flavoured cured pork sausage) and other super-fresh delights dance on the busy grill.
