Visitor Testimonials (2517)

The restaurant is incredibly popular - fully booked even on a weekday. I managed to get a seat without a reservation after waiting about 45 minutes, and it was absolutely worth both the time and the money. The food was outstanding, truly one of the best meals of my life. Sitting at the bar gave me a front-row view of the kitchen, and I was amazed. The chefs moved like a perfectly choreographed team - focused, efficient, yet warm and approachable. Despite the pace, they still found moments to smile, joke, and chat, which made the experience even more special. This place delivers on every level: food, atmosphere, and service. Beyond that, it’s clear the people working here genuinely enjoy what they do, and that energy shines through. Thank you for such a memorable dinner, and congratulations on the wonderful work!

We absolutely love this place. The service was amazing, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was really fun and inviting we were actually able to get in without a reservation although I think we got very lucky. The food is top notch and the servers are super great and provided us with a lot of local recommendations for the rest of our trip. In terms of beaches and other places to visit, highly recommend the classic tapas dishes that they provide an elegant twist on, but also if stay true to the classic flavors

What an incredible spot! The food is absolutely delicious, and the presentation is a visual feast! While I think the menu could use a little more variety, they did have a fantastic selection of daily specials that more than made up for it. Overall, we had a wonderful experience that truly delighted our taste buds!

The food is amazing and the ambiance is nice! The service is quick. We were 4 people and tried our best to try as much food as we can :) only the paella was a dissapointment becuase the rice was so hard to chew other than that we were so happy and pleased what we ordered. Cheesecake is a MUST! Do not miss the chance to taste it! Highly reccommend restaurant !

Hands down one of the top 5 meals I ever had, everything was just impeccable! Highly recommend booking at least a week in advance, but the planning will be definitely worthy! Choosing the bar seating was the best option, as you can watch the chefs prepping the dishes and get a feel for the action. Everything was out-of-this world tasty and I can’t recommend it enough! Definitely get the zucchinni flower filled with ricotta, the croquettas & the pork, although I could have ordered the whole menu as it looked spectacular!

EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! Such a fantastic experience. The staff were amazing, the vibe was great and the food/wine was delicious! We thought sitting at a bar would be uncomfortable and cramped but it was the opposite. It was really spacious! We ordered everything we wanted in one go and it came out dish by dish as if it was a tasting menu. We will definitely go again when visiting Palma.

Most certainly make reservations for El Camino! This spot fills up quickly and for good reason - we loved everything we tried and even re-ordered a couple of them. The hospitality is first class and we loved the experience of sitting at the bar watching the talented chefs work their magic. This is a gem in Palma! Thank you for a great visit!

I walked in Friday evening to a packed restaurant hoping to get a table for six after another restaurant canceled our reservation. They were able to accommodate us and I’m so very grateful! It was one of our favorite meals from the trip and the pear dessert was EXCEPTIONAL. Thank you!
