La Boveda Restaurant
Popular and traditional tapas restaurant in the centre of Palma
One of the oldest and best-known tapas restaurants on the island, oozing authentic
Located in Palma’s La Lonja district, La Bóveda is a great choice if you’re after a lively and
authentic tapas restaurant, full of ambience and efficient service. Their wonderful and
experienced waiters provide much of the entertainment throughout their lunch and dinner
service, and can be fully enjoyed when sat at the bar towards the front of the restaurant. If
you prefer a more observant stance, you can perch yourself around the wine barrels
enjoying the performance and steady flow of traffic from the side-lines. Towards the back of
the restaurant, there’s a vault-like low-ceilinged room, perfect for larger groups and social
gatherings.
From the kitchen, you can expect nothing less than delicious, generously portioned and fast
paced authentic traditional tapas. Famous for its aged ‘jamones ibéricos’ (Iberian ham) and
most loved dishes such as ‘pa amb oli’ (bread with olive oil rubbed with tomato), white bean
stew, ‘pimientos de Padrón’, garlic prawns, ‘croquetas’ or ‘patatas bravas’ are all regular
performers. Pair your meal with a local Mallorcan wine and you’re in for a real treat!
Visitor comments
“Go there! We were in Palma for a week and went to this restaurant on our first night and
went back for a second time. Each time I had lamb chops, which were absolutely delicious.
Wine, atmosphere and service were all good.” – Trip Advisor
“Great authentic Spanish place. First place in Palma that really felt like Spain. Would strongly
recommend this place.” – Trip Advisor
“Very traditional tapas and good value. I would note however all food comes out within two
minutes of ordering, so better to order a few dishes at a time rather than all at once. Loved
the dates wrapped in bacon.” – Trip Advisor
