Restaurant Celler Sa Premsa

Palma de Mallorca


A visit to this local institution, going strong since 1958, is almost obligatory. It's a cavernous tavern filled with huge old wine barrels and faded bullfighting posters – you find plenty of these places in the Mallorcan interior but they're a dying breed here in Palma. Mallorcan specialities dominate the menu.

Come for the well-prepared roast lamb, tumbet (Mallorcan-style vegetable ratatouille), frito mallorquín (sautéed lamb offal with fried potatoes, onions and herbs), pork with cabbage, and rabbit with onion. Service is quietly excellent, but it's the atmosphere you'll remember.
