Simply the best in town

Climbling the hills with a bike, spending a lazy afternoon eating and drinking on a vine-strewn terrace, snorkelling in clear-watered coves, ambling around sunny streets full of shops, markets and galleries ; if any – or all – of these sounds like your kind of thing, Mallorca could be the perfect spring/summer holiday island for you. Palma de Mallorca is no longer just a gateway for beach holidays, it’s a destination in its own righ with enough cultural, historic and gastronomic delights in every corner of the island to keep you busy for a day or two. How in my last articles I told you about beaches, villages and other things, my mission for these days is to present you a wide selection of the best restaurants in Mallorca and recommendations to suit all budgets, tastes, styles and locations. Therefore, today it will be about the centre of Palma because is well known to be a foodie’s paradise. I will start with a fabulous restaurant that offers an elegant gastronomic experience (if I can call it like that) and a place where you really feel the version of Marc Fosh’s extraordinary Mediterranean Cuisine.

Before opening his own restaurant and while working in a country house hotel, Marc Fosh was the first British chef in Spain that had his cuisine awarded with a Michelin star. The creative modern Mediterranean cuisine reflects Marc’s passion for fresh, seasonal and local market ingredients, which are cleverly combined to make healthy and delicious-tasting dishes.

Herbs and other medicinal plants are important elements of his food. Everything that passes through his hands, it’s a culinary feast! With an amazing food, atmosphere, decor, service, aperitifs and wines, this place gives the chance to its clients to take part to a complete dining experience! There’s also plenty of choices on the wine list with labels from Spain (including Mallorca), France, and Italy. The urban cool decor includes lots of natural light, modern art and a indoor water feature.

There’s a stylish bar and a central courtyard for fine weather al fresco dining.  In contemporary & stylish surroundings, Simply Fosh is housed in the Refectori of the 17th-century Hotel Convent de la Missió in the old town of Palma with a modern interior of black-and-white, sun terrace, cascading wall of water and food that everyone can enjoy. The restaurant has capacity for around 60 people and when I visited, the place was full – as it often is (advance reservations are essential).

It’s simply the best in the old town of Palma. My first (and not last) visit was again a full success, not just thanks to the perfect dishes but also thanks to the strong presence of Marc Fosh itself and his team of waiters which make this restaurant such a nice place to visit. There are so many great restaurants on Mallorca with amazing landscapes on the Mediterranean island ready to be discovered. All these been said, I hope you have found this article about the Best Restaurants on Mallorca useful and that you have many memorable meals as a result of my personal recommendations.
