Warm evenings, sea breezes and terrace chatter turn Mallorca into a true food-lover’s paradise. If you’re wondering where to dine in Mallorca this summer, circle these three spots from Grupo La Vasca, a route that blends Basque tradition, contemporary flair and the magic of the Tramuntana mountains.
Sukalde
Tucked away on Carrer Forn de la Glòria 5, just a stroll from Palma’s cathedral, Sukalde gives northern classics a modern spin. Start with a Txakoli Spritz on the urban patio, then share grilled txistorra with padrón peppers or beef-tenderloin tataki seared over embers. Coming with friends? Opt for the group menus: shareable starters, a choice of main and magnums of wine included. Spanish- and English-speaking service keeps the vibe lively until midnight, perfect for diners who love up-to-date cooking without losing Basque soul.
La Vasca
For a laid-back dinner in central Palma, La Vasca (Carrer de Bonaire 19) means a counter lined with pintxos, croquetas and its iconic Rabowich. From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. the kitchen runs a trimmed menu that’s ideal for post-work nibbles; after 8 p.m. the full card returns—think aged txuleta, sizzling cazuelitas of txistorra or huevos rotos with Navarre chistorra. Grab a chilled txakoli, find a terrace table and soak up true pintxo-pote atmosphere without leaving Mallorca.
El Vasco
Prefer dinner surrounded by nature? Drive up to El Vasco and breathe in the Josper’s smoky perfume. From Basque txuleta to silky bacalao al pil-pil, every plate channels farmstead tradition. Summer hours expand too: Sundays 12:30 p.m.–12:30 a.m. with the kitchen running all day. Catch sunset over the Serra, order a glass of Crianza and share grilled octopus or sweetbread while the mountains glow gold.
