One of Mallorca's most celebrated fine dining experiences, serving highly creative cuisine with Russian and Mediterranean influences from acclaimed chef Adrián Quetglas. Elegant setting in Palma's old town.
Adrián Quetglas Restaurant is one of Mallorca's most lauded fine dining addresses, occupying a sleek modern space on the Passeig de Mallorca in the heart of Palma. Chef Adrián Quetglas, born in Argentina and trained across Spain and Russia, brings an unusually international perspective to the Balearic table. His cooking fuses precise Mediterranean technique with ingredients and influences drawn from Eastern Europe and the Middle East, producing dishes that feel genuinely singular: sea urchin with cauliflower cream, pigeon with dates and Mallorcan almonds, and cured fish preparations that reflect his time working in Russia are among the signatures that have made his reputation. The restaurant holds a Michelin star and is a regular fixture on Spain's top restaurant rankings. The dining room is polished and modern, decorated in warm neutrals with a calm, unhurried atmosphere suited to long, contemplative meals. Tables are well-spaced and the room is quiet enough for conversation. The wine programme emphasises Spanish producers alongside a considered international selection, with a sommelier on hand to guide pairing. Reservations are essential and should be made well in advance, particularly from May through October when the island is at its busiest. The tasting menu (around €110–€120) showcases the breadth of the kitchen's ambition; the à la carte suits guests who prefer to choose their own path through the menu. The restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday.
