Mallorca (Majorca): Restaurants in Palma

There's a large and varied selection of places to eat, and you can never stray too far without having to negotiate the tables and chairs dotted outside the city's eateries. The Llotja district is a good place to start, as too are the side streets off Passeig d'es Born and Avinguda d'Antoni Maura.
