The owner was on hand and working her tail off, which goes a long way with me. The food tasted great, was very high quality, and was presented in a fun, whimsical manner. Tough to beat the location right next to the water. This was the only place on our trip where we had a true blue 2 hour European style lunch. We just lingered. Everything about the place was so nice and warm, there wasn't an obvious reason to leave. I'd go back again in a heartbeat! Note that the menu is a bit pricey in comparison to some of the other restaurants in the area. We thought it was a decent value given the quality of the food, but if you are on a shoestring, you may want to try somewhere different.

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!

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!

Bossa Nova is run by the most wonderful and charming couple and the rest of the staff is equally, if not more, pleasant. If you let them take care of you, you will enjoy the food very much, even though on its own it would probably deserve a 3/5. We had a seafood spaghetti to share as a primi, with a very nice sauce and a good variety of seafood; shrimp, mussels, vongole, cod and more. Pasta was al dente. For a main dish we had pork scaloppine and saltimbocca. Meat was tender, while the sauces had decent taste, but slightly lumpy. There is also a set lunch menu that is very good value for money! Not a big selection of wine on offer (just a red, white and rosé). All in all, if you just want to wind down and feel some genuine warmth while out and about in the more touristy parts of Palma old town, this is the place to do it. The food is also quite comforting!

Menu didn't seem particularly compelling so I ordered just a drink. Now, I appreciate that this is a restaurant but the way the waitress scolded me when I tried to order only a drink was uncalled for. She was simply rude about it. I was nice about it and ordered padrón peppers to placate her. The same waitress came back about 5 mins later and asked me to take my bag off the table (a backpack). Okay, again, fine, but she was really just nasty in her tone. Sangria was just okay and was more expensive than the average in the area. Padrón peppers were delicious, however. Between the yummy peppers and the fact that the wifi was free and strong, I'm giving 2 stars instead of one. But I wouldn't return or recommend due to the rude service.

The restaurant is very tiny and we have a wait of over 40 minutes. The service was fine. Food - the Spanish octopus was delicious! Perfectly prepared. The Russian tuna salad is surprisingly excellent!! I never tasted that dish before. Note.... It is more like potato salad with tuna then green lettuce salad with tuna. My kids had the salmon and it was regular slightly over cooked one of them mentioned. The sangria was OK. However, there were many knats and small bugs that were attracted to the fruit in the sangria that turned me off. One of these fruit flies flew in my glass and I was done. If you feel like waiting the octopus, and the Russian salad is excellent! Not sure if I would return, as there are many restaurants in that area that serve similar dishes.
