Over the past twenty years, Mallorca evolved from being known primarily for its awe-inspiring landscapes and luxurious resorts to becoming a gastronomic paradise. The island’s culinary journey, transitioning from standard tourist fare to globally-acclaimed cuisine, is nothing short of remarkable.

This transformation is palpable in the rise of Mallorquin restaurants that champion local ingredients: freshly caught fish, succulent lamb and pork, seasonal fruits, vegetables, and even the unique wines crafted on the island. Michelin Guide recognizes and celebrates the harmonious melding of these ingredients with Mallorca´s historic food traditions.

This year, an impressive count of 11 Michelin Stars and 2 Bib Gourmands are bestowed upon Mallorcan restaurants. It signals the island’s prominence on the global culinary map.
