Why the Menú del Día on the Balearic Islands Remains Expensive — what's missing from the conversation?

Answer

How do rent and operating costs affect restaurant menus in Palma?

In Palma, especially in busy areas like Passeig del Born or around the Mercat de l'Olivar, high rents and ongoing operating costs can have a direct impact on menu prices. Restaurants also have to pay for staff, energy, deliveries and waste disposal. Those fixed costs often matter as much as the food itself.
