Bistro Esencia

Absolutely first class food and service. An experience like no other, extremely well executed food but in a truly welcoming and informal atmosphere... takes real skill and personality to achieve. Absolutely loved it. Lovely hosts. The foodie highlight of our holiday. And Palma is full of great eateries so this is quite an achievement

Amazing restaurant, we went for dinner with 4 here, all vegetarians, and it did not disappoint. The food was very high quality, better than the bib gourmand where we ate later that week. Fun, creative and delicious dishes and great service. We asked about a good wine to pair and they picked just the right one. Especially the watermelon carpaccio was really nice. The restaurant was quite small which enhanced the personal experience. Would definitely recommend to go here whenever you’re in Palma!!

This was such a good find! What a great experience. The food was soo good, very unique and the presentation was beautiful. Since it’s a tasting menu, it does take some time but we really enjoyed ourselves. Definitely recommend!

Habla Manotas,

This is definitely one of those places that should be visited more because they make the fine dining experience available for a broder public.
Why? Well because the food is very good and the prices are affordable.
I was there with a friend of mine that is a culinary afficionado and he liked it very much too. When we visited the restaurant we were the only ones but the waitress made sure we had a good experience. Since we had the discovery menu, we both had their signature explosive raviolis as one of the mains followed by a delicious fish dish, for my friend and the succulent pork for me. Wow what an experience.
Even if the place is empty when you pass by, DON'T overthink it just enter, have a seat and let ride beginn.

Had both the tasting menu - 1 x regular, 1 x vegan. very friendly service, small and cozy atmosphere, nicely decorated. Very authentic.
Every dish was crafted with a lot of care, interesting and very delicious combinations.
delicious homemade sourdough bread with excellent olive oil.
Price was ok for the amazing menu. Highly recommended!
