Description
El Gallo Cubano 1 is a Cuban restaurant in the Llevant neighbourhood of Palma, serving up hearty, home-style cooking straight from Cuba.
Cuban cooking with real substance
The kitchen delivers authentic Cuban flavours: portions are generous, and every dish is prepared fresh with care. The classics that draw people back time and again include tamales, ropa vieja, tostones, congrí, Cuban sandwiches, chicharrones, and desserts such as flan and guava pastries. Food can be enjoyed on the spot or taken away.
Atmosphere & who it's perfect for
The restaurant is small and family-run, and by all accounts it genuinely feels like stepping into Cuba. It's a great fit for families with children as well as larger groups, and the value for money is consistently rated as good to excellent.
Location & getting there
The restaurant sits on Plaça de Josep Maria Llompart 9 in Palma's Llevant neighbourhood. Free on-street parking is available close by, and there is also a free car park on site. The address sits a little off the main tourist trails, but well worth the trip.
Service & practicalities
The service is friendly, attentive, and quick. Both the entrance and the seating are fully accessible. Payment by credit card, debit card, and contactless is accepted. Toilets are on site. Booking ahead — especially at weekends — is strongly recommended, as the restaurant fills up fast.
