    We came as it was highly recommended and with great reviews. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and helpful. The menu, although small, does have enough variety to please most. There were some delicious bits, but I was less than impressed with the flavor and portion size (I get it, it's meant to be a fine restaurant but for these price and size I would expect to be amazed by either presentation or taste which I unfortunately wasnt) the setting is very cozy and the clientele matches the prices so it's a very quiet and elegant restaurant. I would be better served by some of the other options around, however.

    PLEASE SPARE YOUR TIME TO GO HERE EVEN IF YOU CAME ON A CRUISE SHIP! I came here by a cruise ship and only have such short limited time on this island. I found this place after a thorough research for authentic Mallorca food experience, and I decided to gamble and spent my limited time (and stomach capacity) to eat here. Needless to say, that I made the BEST DECISION by spending my limited recourses here. A must order dishes including: 1. Cured iberico ham. I never thought cured ham can be this delicious and not gamy 2. Grilled oysters. Delicious and fresh, perfectly complimented by the garlic on top 3. Lobster paella. Definitely mind blown with the freshness of the lobster, and the umami sea flavors in the soup. Im grateful that I visited here in my short time in Palma.

    First restaurant we attended when we visited Palma. Truly a beauty of place. The tapas are amazing, nobody should miss such a place. I would like to offer a suggestion to the owner since at the time we have stumbled upon this beautiful place we weren't sure if it was opened, the lights were on but from the outside we could not see any clients nor staff. We decided anyway to enter and ask if the place was opened, of course it was. The staff guided us to the upper level of the restaurant right up to the back of it, where we could see another table that was already occupied. If you would place the customers on the lower level of the restaurant so the passing by tourists could see that people are inside I am pretty sure that you could increase the clientele. People, especially tourists, are reticent in choosing restaurants that they can see from outside being empty. The customers should be always be visible to passing potential clients. We had a great time and we warmly recommend anyone to attend it, you will not regret it.

    Disappointed! Too expensive cost for very disappointed food. After a week of tasting various good food in quite many restaurants in Mallorca, we had an expectation on this restaurant as it’s a Michelin recommendation. However, it is way far from the expectation. This whole experience doesn’t worth the price. For same dishes, many other good restaurants charge only half or even less. The Lobster Stew is way too expensive. I think if you go there for dating or casual business, you should avoid it. You will need to use provided tools as well as your hand. The soup may land anywhere on your shirt.

    This was the best restaurant we happened upon in Palma! We wanted iberico pork steak and we found it here! The meat was incredibly tender, the octopus was delicious and the desserts were chef’s kiss! Really enjoyed ourselves here and the service was amazing as well!

    This was quite simply the best and best value meal we’ve had on Mallorca. I found this in the Guide Michelin app (free - great resource). They don’t have a star but it came highly recommended and the reviews on Google and TripAdvisor also checked out. We booked for 19:30 on the day and it was quite full and got fuller - I’d recommend reserving. They have an extensive tapas menu u and as always it’s hard to know how much to order. As my wife wasn’t super hungry we opted to share a tapas as a starter and go with two mains. She has a lactose problem which we noted on the reservation and which our server proactively asked about. We started with the partridge and carrot salad. One of the reasons is I like to try dishes that appeal to me that I’ve not seen elsewhere and that was certainly the case here. The partridge was cooked to perfection, the dressing was amazing and the highlight were little “molecules” of vinegar that burst when you ate them, combining really well with the dressing. For the mains I went for the lamb shoulder - I love lamb and we don’t often find it in Germany outside of spring. The first thing that struck me was the size - the shoulder bone was about 6cm across meaning this was definitely a young animal and that was apparent in the taste of the meat. An older lamb can be a bit “sheepy” but this tasted anything but. My wife had the beef cheeks which were equally well cooked. The highlight were the potatoes - waxy, thinly sliced, layered with the occasional onion, and melt in your mouth. They really complimented the dishes we had and meant that we didn’t need a lot of sauce. For dessert I had the lemon meringue cake with a sorbet that was one of the best desserts I’ve had in a while. The base was crumbly, light and crispy, the meringues were cooked to perfection and the lemon curd was just the right balance between sweet and citrus. For drinks we had a bottle of San Perrigrino, a cava, glass of red, glass of rose, and I had a sweet sherry to finish off the meal. Total came to €140 including tip. I would thoroughly recommend La Bodeguilla to anyone visiting Palma or even the island. Thanks to the team for a lovely evening!

    The ambience of the restaurant is amazing. Love the decor made out of all the wine bottles and a classic tapas bar corner right in-front of the kitchen with Jamon hanging from the ceiling and dried peppers and garlic. When we arrived we were seated at a table upstairs which I must say does not have the same ambiance as the downstairs area. It felt more formal and stuck up. However when we asked if we could get a table downstairs this was not a problem at all and we enjoyed a great dinner. Staff was very friendly and the food taste amazing. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

    We visited in August 2021 and turned up without a reservation on a wednesday evening. We were seated in the Tapas area downstairs and were given a quick intro, no specials or recommendations were mentioned. We had three from the tapas menu and a steak. The price of oysters is per item, as one might imagine from the prices. The oysters were one of the best we have had in a long while, large size and nice dressing. Likewise the asparagus was very juicy and nicely grilled. The Octopus was crispy on the outside but soft and juicy inside, very tasty. Finally the steak was lovely and medium well done to our liking with no blood on the plate. Overall a lovely meal, we would have loved to be seated in a more comfortable chair to spend a long evening there but we drove so couldn't have gone to wild on the wine.

    We had a birthday dinner here with ham, beef tartare and paella. All of them are quite tasty especially the ham and paella. Quiet reasonable price for a fine dining restaurant. Not mention a warm service.

    Luckily we were able to get a table for two at super late notice, knowing nothing about the restaurant until we arrived and saw the michelin plaque. When we met the host, we were walked through the labyrinth of tables and rooms to our table and were served straight away by our waiter. We had the oysters, the tuna tartare (amazing), the low temp egg in truffle sauce (absolute stand out, didn't take a photo but this was one of the most interesting and delicious dishes I've had in a long time), and the paella. Paired with a couple of glasses of wine each the meal came in at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.

    Our dinner was so good, we went back the day after for lunch and were equally blown away … the delicious dishes is matched by the impeccable service. A must visit in Palma. The Macan 2018 Rjoca is the perfect pairing to anything on the menu

    Just coming back from the second dinner in a row. On the first night we got the pan con tomate, the tuna tartar and the rice with scallops, red shrimps and squid: the latter was similar to a paella, with such tender seafood with a perfect touch of saffron. The tartar was spectacular: with a zesty but balanced marinade and A grade tuna. The dessert we had, was a lemon pie that was just amazing. We didn't have enough of it, so even if we personally like to try different restaurants, when travelling, this fear of missing out on other places didn't stop us from booking a table also for the next day. Today we left so happy: my husband and I shared 4 tapas, of which (again) a tuna tartar, the char grilled asparagus (good combination with the sauces), the roast octopus (so tender and absolutely not chewy), and the Iberian grilled pork shoulder (was melting in my mouth). There's nothing that needed more or less salt, marinade or others, everything was just perfect the way it was. We'd also recommend the brioche, as a dessert.. a true comfort dessert. Going to the service, we've found such a welcoming and professional staff. Also, a big thank you to the lady (probably the manager) who treated us so nicely. The restaurant itself has many rooms.. of which the best ones might be on the first floor, but anyways, also the top one has a good and intimate atmosphere. Good value for money.. if you eat like we do, expect to pay between €50 and €70 per person, which, in our opinion, was absolutely worth it. Thank you for two wonderful nights.

    One of the better restaurants in Palma. Appetizers: tuna tartare was tender and tomato sauce was great. Octopus was tough and we sent it back. Fish is nice but plenty of garlic, which was overcooked and thus taste bitter. Steak was very flavorful but tough at medium. We like the tiramisu and rum baba that accompanied w pistachio and chocolate ice cream, but couldn’t taste the rum.

    We had originally intended to eat at El Camino around the corner to but it was jam-packed in there so we decided on La Bodeguilla as our second choice - and actually, we're really glad we came here instead. Presentation, produce, service, the menu offering, setting and value for money (essentially everything) was absolutely sublime. Faultless. It could not have been better. Hugely recommended! Perfecto! 👌

    The menu offers either tapas or main course meat/seafood options. We went for tapas and were not disappointed. 4 of them were enough for two people to be full. Each one was so delicious! Service was good, no complaints. This place is worth dropping by!

    Make sure you have reservations before you go there! We been there twice in our Mallorca trip! Highly recommended for the vinegar if you love sweet and sticky taste. The vinegar is the highlight for our dinner. The balance for the taste is so good if you enjoy taste sweet and sour. The burrata tapas tasted like Bonito or dashi, it’s kind of Japanese soup taste, really interesting seasoning. Also the grilled pork and octopus are the chef’s kiss, best grilled pork and octopus in tapas ever have. Even better than the tapas in Barcelona 😂.Overall 10/10, especially the vinegar and the pork. The staffs also really nice, thank you so much for your help us to book the table. 超级好吃,必点烤猪肉,章鱼和沙拉,姐妹们快冲!

    Overall, I would say that the staff was very friendly and helpful, especially when reserving a table. In addition, the atmosphere is very nice. As you can see on the pictures, the decoration, our presentation of the food was successfully done. Aesthetically pleasing…

    The ambience and desserts were spectacular. All dishes were balanced, though the bread could’ve been more fresh.

    Quick review of this restaurant. The food is okay if slightly overpriced. However the service is unbelievably bad. We were walk in customers at around 6.30pm and were immediately told they needed the table back at 9.30pm. Which to be honest seemed reasonable. However for the entirety of the meal we were hurried and given snide service by one of the waiting staff. He continued to check when we would be finished even if we clearly hadn’t finished our food. Finally towards the end of the meal he huffed loudly next to our table and cleared our plates without asking if we were finished. Would say the food is around a 4/5 but the service is 1/5. Go Camino instead!

    We had an amazing time at La Bodeguilla. Both my wife and I have been at La Bodeguilla before but not together. This time during our honeymoon we had one of the best times in an restaurant ever. The whole staff was on point and our waiter was amazing which made the night even better. The food is incredible and we will keep coming back. Of course its a higher priced restaurant but definitely worth it!

    Really awesome food and service, I think my favorite was the octopus. Would definitely recommend this to a friend and go back again.

  • 3/5 Bjarne L. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good food & wine, a cosy place. The service was not on top however, they came with the bread after they carried out our finished entries. When we needed help with choosing wine, the servant just walked away and came back after a few minutes and asked if we had decided yet... This is not what you expect from a Michelin one-star restaurant. Otherwise excellent.

    We had a great dinner at La Bodeguilla. The decor, attention to detail by the staff and the food were all great. Shrimps from Soller with mushrooms and egg will be remembered for a very long time. The sole fish was cooked to perfection on the grill and had a very good texture.

    A unique place and a culinary temple for wine and food lovers. We headed from the airport directly to La Bodeguilla to start our weekend journey through our palate. Hi For those who‘d think, Tapas don‘t mean a propper cuisine and meal, get your lesson here! An extra bravo to the service, specially the polite and charming lady in charge yesterday.
