Benja's is a bar and café-restaurant on the Plaça de l'Olivar in Palma, welcoming both local regulars from the neighbourhood and those just passing through.

Home-cooked Food & Specialities

Benja's is all about honest, home-cooked food kept refreshingly simple. Bocadillos are among the house highlights — the calamares sandwich with aioli and the grilled chicken sandwich with rocket, mustard and mayonnaise are particularly well regarded. The tapas — including a mixed tapas platter — and the breakfast options featuring café con leche, toast with tomato and olives are equally popular. Other dishes that earn regular praise include seafood paella, garlic prawns and comforting home-style potatoes. The value for money is considered excellent.

A Meeting Point by the Market

Benja's sits directly opposite the covered market hall on the Plaça de l'Olivar in the heart of Palma, making it a favourite stop for locals and workers in the area — whether first thing in the morning, at lunchtime or for a quick bite in between. The compact venue has a small outdoor terrace where you can watch the bustle of the market square, as well as a handful of tables inside.
