Best Txistorra in Mallorca: Where to Taste Navarra’s Iconic Sausage

Few flavours shout Basque-Navarre louder than a sizzling strip of txistorra—that slender, paprika-laced pork sausage that perfumes the streets of Pamplona every San Fermín. If you happen to be in Mallorca and crave that same smoky bite, you’re in luck: the three restaurants of Grupo La Vasca serve txistorra three different ways, each true to its northern roots yet unmistakably Mallorcan in setting.

El Vasco – Txistorra al Txakoli, Serra de Tramuntana style

Nestled at the foot of the mountains, El Vasco leans into the fire. Their Txistorra de Navarra al Txakoli arrives still crackling from the Josper grill, bathed in a splash of young Basque wine that caramelises into the sausage’s spice-red fat. A free-range fried egg crowns the dish; pierce the yolk and let it mingle with the txistorra’s smoky juices before scooping everything up with bread. Pair it with a glass of garnacha and the Tramuntana views do the rest.

La Vasca – Two expressions, one bustling pintxo bar

Smack in the heart of Palma, La Vasca offers txistorra in both bite-sized and hearty form:

  • Cazuelita de Txistorra – sausage simmered in its own juices, served bubbling with a tiny quail egg. Perfect pintxo fuel between glasses of txakoli.
  • Huevos rotos con Txistorra – the house-style “broken eggs”: golden fries, two fried eggs, and ribbons of txistorra tossed together at the table so every bite is coated in yolk and chorizo oil.

The kitchen stays open from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., making La Vasca the go-to after-work stop for pintxos and vermouth.

Sukalde – Txistorra meets creativity in Palma’s Old Town

A few streets away, at Carrer Forn de la Glòria, 5, Sukalde puts a contemporary spin on the classic:

  • Grilled Txistorra – cooked over embers, served in its own jus and flanked by charred pimientos de Padrón—salty, sweet, occasionally fiery.
  • Txistorra Pizza – thin dough blistered at high heat, brushed with txistorra drippings, topped with sausage slices and a runny fried egg. The ultimate share-and-tear dish to enjoy with one of Sukalde’s signature cocktails.

Sukalde’s industrial-chic patio stays lively until late, so linger over txistorra and gin-tonics beneath fairy lights.

How to choose?

  • For mountain air and big red wines: El Vasco.
  • For a pintxo crawl and classic bar buzz: La Vasca.
  • For creative twists and craft cocktails: Sukalde.

Whichever you pick, you’ll be tasting some of the best txistorra in Mallorca—imported from Navarra, grilled or pan-seared to order, and served with the warmth only a northern-run kitchen can provide.

Reserve your table, raise a glass, and let that paprika-rich aroma transport you straight to the streets of Pamplona—no plane ticket required.
