Garlic was just right. Cuttlefish squid ink croquettes - Good crust. Squid ink is an acquire taste and different. But we also liked it. Grilled Lamb chop -it was the best lamb chop I've ever tasted. It's not just how they grilled it but the quality of the lamb and also they are baby lamb, not gamey and very tender. Even the fries, the baked/roasted garlic and the chili was amazing. Grilled octopus - The lamb chop was so good that even the grilled octopus was pretty outstanding, you don't really notice anymore. The sauce there made with olive was impressive. Very delicious. At first, I saw the almost 5 stars rating must be forgiving and generous tourist's rating but after coming here, now I know. This is the real deal.

We had actually passed this place up as we were getting gelato one of the nights and things were shutting down. We knew we needed to come back here when the kitchen was open and our stomachs were wide open. The next day after a long beach day and being extra hungry, we made SURE we came. Despite not having any reservations, they let the five of us sit pretty quickly and we had the best waiter that made us crack up the whole time. We ordered a bit of everything for the table to share, they had plenty of vegetarian tapas options for us while our friends also decided to go all out with seafood. When in Mallorca, right? They use the freshest of the seafood and this was for sure a great spot to enjoy it at. After delicious sangria, cheeses, tapas, patatas, croquetas and yummy bread - and ALIOLI OF COURSE - we practically rolled out of there feeling incredible. What a great spot to enjoy tapas with friends and enjoy amazing food while traveling and indulging in a fun cultural foodie experience.

This is the case with La Cueva. Walking down the street, apparently lost and you see a restaurant in the basement and peek into it and finding lots of people inside. Says right away, you found the gem! They were super busy and one table by the egress window by the waiters station opened up and the host gladly jumped up to accommodate us. As we were situated, finding out that this place runs like a clockwork. Decided to order that two items that Yelp recommended and did not disappoint us. La Cueva = Cave fit that ambiance I was looking for, food was good and the service excellent. no back room employee appreciation fee, no tips, no special taxing district fees. All lumped up to one bill. Aguas 3 , Vinos 5. Gracias Por Su Visita!

It's hard to choose a favorite dish because they were all delicious but we tried the goat cheese toast, oxtail, creme catalana, chorizo. Each dish had such a stunning flavor and this was easily one of the best restaurants we went to in the Soller area. If you want to order Paella make sure you go to their website and contact them a day ahead of time so they can prepare it for you. The chef came outside a few times to check on everyone which I thought was so sweet and really shows how much he cares about the quality of the food he serves. Our waitress Laura was also so friendly and welcoming. If you are anywhere near Soller or Port de Soller, skip the tourist trap restaurants and come here instead. Gracias Chef Alvaro!!!

Located right off of the water, you know the seafood is going to be incredibly fresh and they always have the fresh catch of the day displayed. We went with the fresh Sea bass which was grilled to perfection. The fish was white, flaky, and incredibly light. It went well with the other dishes we got. The Fideua Negra was one of the most unique bites of the whole trip. The richness from the squid ink and the other seasonings made this so memorable. We were a group of 6 and got the portion for 4, and it was still way too much! I would say to get half as many portions as you are people in the group - especially if you're ordering other food too. The local prawns melted in your mouth and were just delicious. The Calamar Andaluza and Seafood Croqeutas were great tries but the highlights were definitely the 2 dishes above. All in all, amazing meal at Ses Oliveres; highly recommend making a reservation here!

Note this place is not known for traditional tapas, but more of a global modern twist. Some of their tapas were one of a kind and cannot be found anywhere else in Palma. The inside was super cute and would be great for a date night. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. At the end of the night, we even asked her for a recommendation of her favorite local tapas place in Palma and her recommendation did not disappoint. This is what we ordered: Toast Mallorca - There was sobrassada, cheese & tomato jam au gratin on top. You've never had toast like this before! The jam added so much flavor to the toast. The trio was a perfect combination of smokiness and sweetness. Iberian ham "Bellota" - Probably the best cut of ham we had in all of Mallorca! It was the tenderest piece of ham we've had. You could taste the quality of the meat. Roll & Roll - these were vegetarian rolls filled with Mediterranean goodness; I'm not a vegetarian but these rolls were very good! The sauce added so much flavor to the rolls. Eggplant carpaccio - if you must order one dish and one dish only, this is it! Nowhere in Mallorca will you find eggplant carpaccio. It was absolutely delicious! The eggplant was covered with truffle oil, almonds, and parmesan cheese and was full of flavor with every bite. Octopus, 13% style - The Octopus was seasoned with spicy paprika on top of a bed of mashed potatoes. The octopus was good, but did not compare to the other tapas we loved. This place is an absolute must try while in Mallorca!

It was plenty of food, my wife could not eat up. Our kids had some pasta and meat with potatoes - also good. But the best with this small, cosy restaurant was the atmosphere! It felt genuine and the owner (Julio ?) was supernice and helpful. The place had the feeling of an small Italian taverna -though this was very Spanish :) We were there around lunch time and the place was packed, but the staff was still friendly and calm, despite all the cusomers. I recommend this restaurant to all that comes to Palma!
