Emblematic Cafés/Bars in Palma

Palma offers you a selection of good Bar & Coffee places with historical & family business background. In our blog we made a selection of these emblematic places which mostly serve two stars of Mallorcan Cousine “variat” and “llonguet”.

 

Bar Mavi

Biel and Maria, two Mallorcans from Sencelles, opened Bar Mavi in 1955 on the main street Calle 31 de Diciembre. Nowadays the third generation is taking care of this emblematic bar. In Bar Mavi you can get one of the best “variat” of the island, or you can try their “menu del dia” in their historic ambiance, or you can just enjoy your beer or vermouth on a lovely day.

 

Bar Pigalle

Bar Pigalle, which is in the same street as Bar Mavi, was founded by Jaume Segura Vidal. It was opened in the sixties and became a meeting point in the city. It was frequented by footballers from the Real Mallorca of the era. Bar Pigalle offers you delicious “variat” and other dishes of the day while you enjoy their historical inside ambiance or just sit outside in their terrace which is a perfect corner place.

 

Bar Bosch

Bar Bosch is one of the most emblematic bars in Palma. It is located on Plaça Rei Joan Carles I, just in the middle of the tourist attraction, since 1936. Jaume Bosch, who was a cook at the Gran Hotel, opened this bar on February 15, 1936, a few months before the Civil War. In Bar Bosch you can get a wide variety of food and drinks right in the city center, just beside the shopping street Jaime III.

Bar Isleño

Bar Isleño is just opposite the Santa Catalina Market on Calle Anibal. Bar Isleño has been our all time favorite in Santa Catalina and for us it’s a bridge which connects Santa Catalina’s past and present. Visit this special bar with its “Barrio” ambiance and don’t forget to try their delicious ‘llonguets’, special croissants and coffees…

 

Can Frau

Welcome to the temple of typical Mallorcan food at Santa Catalina Market. As Bar Isleño, Can Frau has also been our all time favorite in Santa Catalina and for us it’s a bridge which connects Santa Catalina’s past and present. It’s a meeting place for both locals and foreigners and it is run by Pedro, Biel and Mario, who serve you one of the best foods on the island.
