Mallorca has evolved into one of the Mediterranean’s most compelling culinary destinations. Beyond its beaches, historic villages and dramatic mountain landscapes, the island offers ambitious restaurants that draw inspiration from traditional Mallorcan recipes, Mediterranean seafood, family farms and seasonal produce.
The Michelin Guide Spain 2026 initially awarded 11 stars to 10 restaurants across Mallorca. However, the celebrated Béns d’Avall subsequently announced that it would not open during 2026, closing the current chapter of its long-running family business.
That leaves nine Michelin-starred restaurants currently operating on the island, with a combined total of 10 stars. VORO remains Mallorca’s only two-star restaurant, while eight establishments hold one star each.
Menus, opening periods and reservation policies can change seasonally, so travelers should confirm the latest information directly with each restaurant.
VORO: Two Michelin Stars in Canyamel
Mallorca’s only two-Michelin-star restaurant is VORO, located near Cap Vermell Grand Hotel in Canyamel on the island’s northeast coast.
Chef Álvaro Salazar leads diners through an elaborate tasting experience grounded in Mediterranean and Spanish culinary traditions. The restaurant’s name comes from the Latin word for “devour,” setting the tone for an immersive progression of carefully constructed courses.
Salazar draws from his Andalusian background as well as the flavors of the Balearic Islands. The result is technically precise cooking that remains connected to recognizable products and regional traditions.
VORO operates seasonally and serves an exclusively tasting-menu format. Reservations are essential, particularly during the summer.

DINS Santi Taura: Mallorcan History on the Plate
DINS Santi Taura occupies the ground floor of El Llorenç Parc de la Mar in Palma’s historic Sa Calatrava neighborhood, close to the cathedral and ancient city walls.
Chef Santi Taura’s cooking is deeply rooted in the culinary history of Mallorca. Rather than simply modernizing familiar dishes, he researches old recipes, ingredients and cooking methods and transforms them into a contemporary tasting experience.
The result is a personal interpretation of Balearic food culture, with individual courses often connected to particular periods, communities or traditions. Local ingredients remain central, but the restaurant’s most distinctive quality is its ability to tell the story of Mallorca through food.
Guests seated near the open kitchen can observe the preparation of each course, adding another dimension to the experience.
Marc Fosh: Modern Mediterranean Dining in Palma
Marc Fosh is located inside Convent de la Missió, a former 17th-century convent transformed into a luxury boutique hotel in central Palma.
British-born chef Marc Fosh was the first British chef to receive a Michelin star in Spain. His restaurant is known for modern Mediterranean cooking that emphasizes clean flavors, seasonal ingredients and carefully balanced compositions.
Menus draw on produce from Mallorca and the wider Balearic Islands while incorporating influences from across the Mediterranean. The serene dining room and courtyard provide a sophisticated retreat within walking distance of Palma’s markets, galleries and principal historic attractions.
Older Mallorca dining guides may refer to the restaurant as Simply Fosh. It now operates under the name Marc Fosh.
Zaranda: Creative Dining Beneath Palma’s Old Quarter
Chef Fernando Pérez Arellano’s Zaranda is located at Es Príncep hotel in Palma. It occupies a historically significant site above the remains of a former tannery, an unusual setting that has become part of the restaurant’s storytelling.
The experience unfolds across several spaces, with courses inspired by Mallorca’s history, the old tannery and the cultural influences that have shaped the island. Contemporary techniques are paired with local seafood, meat and produce.
Zaranda previously operated at Castell Son Claret in Es Capdellà before relocating to Palma. Its former dining space is now home to Sa Clastra, another Michelin-starred restaurant.
Zaranda currently welcomes guests aged 16 and older and operates primarily for dinner. Its seasonal schedule changes during the year.
Andreu Genestra: Sustainable Cuisine in Llucmajor
Andreu Genestra is located at Zoëtry Mallorca, a historic country estate in Llucmajor with origins dating to the 14th century.
The restaurant moved to this location after previously operating near Capdepera. Its current setting includes an interior dining room, a romantic courtyard and views into the kitchen.
Chef Andreu Genestra creates contemporary Mallorcan cuisine using produce sourced from the island and the restaurant’s own gardens. The kitchen’s emphasis on local ingredients is supported by broader environmental practices, including solar energy and water recycling.
In addition to its Michelin star, Andreu Genestra holds a Michelin Green Star recognizing its approach to sustainable gastronomy.
Es Fum: Fine Dining at The St. Regis Mardavall
Es Fum is situated at The St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort in Costa d’en Blanes, between Palma and the southwest coast.
The restaurant offers a creative Mediterranean tasting experience in an elegant resort setting. Its cuisine combines technical precision with colorful presentations and ingredients that reflect Mallorca’s land and surrounding waters.
An outdoor terrace provides views over the resort gardens and toward the Mediterranean when conditions permit. The intimate format and polished service make Es Fum particularly well suited to anniversaries and special occasions.
Because the restaurant follows a seasonal schedule, guests should verify opening dates directly before planning a visit.
Sa Clastra: The Flavors and Winds of Mallorca
Sa Clastra is located within Castell Son Claret, a restored country estate outside the village of Es Capdellà.
Chef Jordi Cantó’s cuisine reinterprets Mallorca’s culinary heritage through a contemporary lens. The restaurant’s tasting experience takes inspiration from the different winds that cross the island, including the Tramuntana, Mistral and Ponent.
These winds become a narrative device linking local memories, traditional recipes and ingredients brought to Mallorca through centuries of trade and migration.
Guests may dine in the atmospheric stone interior or on the romantic courtyard terrace during suitable weather. The surrounding gardens and rural location make Sa Clastra one of the island’s most distinctive destination restaurants.
Fusion19: Mallorcan Roots and Global Techniques
Located near Playa de Muro in northern Mallorca, Fusion19 explores the island’s culinary traditions through local ingredients, ancestral techniques and ideas gathered from other food cultures.
The restaurant earned its first Michelin star in 2023. Its cooking has continued to evolve under chefs Aleix Serra and Marc Marsol, who use fermentation, curing, preservation and modern preparation methods to create tasting menus inspired by Mallorcan landscapes and memories.
The kitchen works closely with seasonal produce, including ingredients from its own garden. Dishes may reinterpret traditional recipes or pair an island ingredient with a technique drawn from Asia or Latin America.
Despite its name, Fusion19 is not simply a collection of international flavors. The connecting theme remains Mallorca, viewed through a contemporary and exploratory perspective.
Maca de Castro: A Celebration of Mallorca’s Biodiversity
Maca de Castro is located in Port d’Alcúdia on Mallorca’s northern coast.
Chef Macarena de Castro has long championed the island’s farms, fishermen, traditional crops and lesser-known ingredients. Her cuisine celebrates Mallorca’s biodiversity, drawing heavily from the restaurant’s farm in Sa Pobla and from small-scale local producers.
The Michelin-starred restaurant occupies the upper floor of a villa-style building. Jardín Bistró, a more informal restaurant operated by the same family, is located downstairs.
The tasting experience is creative and technically accomplished but remains closely tied to the island. Vegetables, herbs and flowers play particularly important roles, while seafood and other Mallorcan products appear according to the season.
What Happened to Béns d’Avall?
Béns d’Avall was one of Mallorca’s most respected restaurants, with a spectacular position between Sóller and Deià overlooking the Mediterranean.
The family-run establishment received both a Michelin star and a Michelin Green Star. However, the Vicens family announced that the restaurant would not operate in 2026, describing the decision as the closing of its current chapter and a period of transformation rather than necessarily a permanent end to the project.
Because the restaurant is not currently accepting reservations, it has not been included among the operating restaurants in this guide.
Travelers should be cautious with older articles and booking lists that still describe Béns d’Avall as open.
Michelin Green Star Restaurants in Mallorca
The Michelin Green Star recognizes restaurants that demonstrate notable commitments to more sustainable gastronomy. It is separate from Michelin’s traditional one-, two- and three-star dining awards.
Among Mallorca’s currently operating Green Star restaurants are:
Andreu Genestra
Along with its regular Michelin star, Andreu Genestra is recognized for local sourcing, its gardens, renewable energy and water-management practices.
Ca Na Toneta
Ca Na Toneta is operated by sisters Maria and Teresa Solivellas in the village of Caimari. Its cooking follows the seasons and draws from Mallorca’s agricultural and culinary traditions.
Terrae
Terrae in Port de Pollença received a Michelin Green Star in the 2026 guide. Chef David Rivas works with small island producers and follows an ambitious zero-waste philosophy, with a menu that changes according to available ingredients.
Maca de Castro is also widely recognized for its farm-led approach, reforestation efforts and commitment to recovering local varieties, reinforcing sustainability as an important part of Mallorca’s contemporary dining identity.
Mallorca’s Bib Gourmand Restaurants
Michelin’s Bib Gourmand distinction recognizes restaurants offering good cooking at comparatively accessible prices. It is useful for travelers who want a Michelin-recognized meal without committing to a lengthy fine-dining tasting menu.
Mallorca’s current Bib Gourmand restaurants include:
- Miceli in Selva, known for seasonal traditional cooking and a menu shaped by the ingredients available each day
- Ca’n Boqueta in Sóller, where contemporary Mediterranean cooking incorporates Mallorcan produce and seafood
Opening patterns may be highly seasonal, especially outside Palma, so advance confirmation is recommended.
Planning a Michelin Dining Trip Around Mallorca
Mallorca’s starred restaurants are spread across the island rather than concentrated entirely in Palma.
Palma is home to DINS Santi Taura, Marc Fosh and Zaranda, allowing travelers to combine fine dining with the cathedral, historic center and waterfront.
VORO is in Canyamel on the northeast coast, while Fusion19 and Maca de Castro are convenient for travelers staying around Alcúdia, Playa de Muro or Pollença. Andreu Genestra is located south of Palma in Llucmajor, and Sa Clastra and Es Fum serve the island’s southwest.
A rental car is helpful for reaching restaurants outside Palma, but guests planning wine pairings should arrange a taxi or private transfer in advance. Rural and resort restaurants may be difficult to reach late in the evening without prearranged transportation.
DRIFT’s seven-day Mallorca itinerary can help travelers combine the island’s dining scene with beaches, villages and cultural attractions.
Tips for Reserving Michelin-Starred Restaurants in Mallorca
Reservations should be made well in advance during spring, summer and early fall. Some restaurants close during winter or operate only on selected evenings.
Before booking, confirm:
- Seasonal opening dates
- Lunch or dinner availability
- Tasting-menu duration
- Dress code
- Minimum age requirements
- Vegetarian or vegan menu availability
- Allergy and dietary accommodation
- Cancellation and prepayment policies
- Transportation back to your hotel
Dietary requirements should be communicated when making the reservation, not after arriving. Tasting-menu restaurants often need advance notice to make appropriate substitutions, and certain requests may not be possible.
Mallorca’s Culinary Identity Goes Beyond the Stars
Michelin recognition has helped introduce international travelers to Mallorca’s fine-dining scene, but the island’s culinary appeal extends much further.
Traditional cellers, market stalls, coastal seafood restaurants, bakeries and village kitchens all contribute to the experience. Local specialties such as sobrasada, tumbet, arròs brut, coca de trampó, Mallorcan lamb and ensaïmada provide essential context for the refined interpretations served in Michelin-starred dining rooms.
The island’s best restaurants increasingly express a strong sense of place. Whether that means Santi Taura investigating historical recipes, Maca de Castro recovering local plant varieties or Álvaro Salazar examining Mediterranean flavors through modern techniques, Mallorca’s culinary identity is becoming more confident and distinctive.
