The Latest Culinary Hotspots in Mallorca

Earning the nod of Michelin's discerning inspectors is no small feat. Yet, one of Mallorca's recent additions to the restaurant scene has done just that. Adrián Quetglas, located in Palma, is the brainchild of its namesake chef/owner. The restaurant serves up affordable gourmet tasting menus that are a testament to Adrián's decade-long successful stint in Moscow, where he still operates several restaurants. Alongside Adrián Quetglas, other restaurants like Zaranda (2 stars), Es Fum, Marc Fosh, Jardín, and Andreu Genestra have also retained their stars for 2022. https://adrianquetglas.es/
