After walking through the busy but charming old town of Palma we were quite a bit hungry. Looked for some easy, authentic spanish food.
And found this place. Had a big menu with interesting items and fair prices. Looked like it's aimed at locals (most of the customers were spanish), which is a good sign.
Took a table across the street on the placa outside. The very friendly waiter was with us in a short while.
Actually planned on having a bottle of Cava, but they only had small ones (20cl), so we took two each of that one instead. Taste-wise still good cava and well priced.
We were thrilled to see fried baby squid on the menu. These are not easy to find. Ordered a plate of these, fried sardines and gamba a la plancha (grilled shrimp).
The sardines were nice and fresh. A good choice. Even better were the shrimp. So fresh, so sweet, so tasty. Shrimp are easy to find - good shrimp like these here not! A great dish. And then the highlight: the fried baby squid. Hot, crispy outside, tender inside. One of our favourite seafood and an item that you shouldn't miss.
All in all a fantastic lunch. Wonderful fresh fish and seafood, nice location, friendly staff and good prices. And all of this in the middle of Palma! Who knew. We will be back here in October...definitely. Highly recommended. read more
