Tast Club, Palma

Tast Club is one of Palma's most significant fine dining addresses, housed in the building that was formerly the Santa Catalina neighbourhood market on the Plaça de la Navegació in Mallorca's capital. The space is architecturally striking: the old market hall has been converted into a dramatic restaurant with high ceilings, warm materials, and a design that respects the building's original structure. The kitchen operates under a creative culinary philosophy that treats Mallorcan produce as the central subject of investigation — the menu reads as a series of explorations of local ingredients: local squid with sobrassada aioli, Mallorcan lamb with almonds in multiple preparations, and seasonal dishes built around whatever is at its peak in the island's markets and gardens. The cooking is technically sophisticated and visually considered, presenting flavours that are recognisably Mallorcan in a format that rewards attention. The wine list is an asset: depth in Mallorcan and Spanish natural and low-intervention wines, with a sommelier who understands the kitchen's direction. Tast Club operates as dinner only, Tuesday through Saturday. Reservations are essential and are typically required several days ahead; for weekends in season, a week or more is advisable. The atmosphere is intimate and the noise level is moderate — a room suited to conversation rather than spectacle.
