Description
Bistro Esencia is a contemporary Mediterranean restaurant tucked away in the Santa Catalina neighbourhood of Palma.
Cuisine & Concept
Bistro Esencia champions contemporary Mediterranean cooking built around local, km-0 ingredients and genuinely creative dishes. The heart of the menu is the tasting experience — both a five-course and a seven-course menu are on offer. Alongside meat dishes, there is a dedicated vegetarian menu. Standout dishes that crop up time and again include the seafood cappuccino, carbonara ravioli, burratina with Mallorcan tomatoes, truffle dishes, tiramisu, and the chocolate desserts. A carefully curated wine list accompanies the food, with a strong showing of local Mallorcan bottles.
Atmosphere
The restaurant is small and intimate — relaxed and unhurried, with no sense of rush. The quality of the cooking sits comfortably alongside an informal setting that requires no dress code and puts no pressure on your time.
Location
Bistro Esencia is located at Carrer de Sant Magí 68 in the Ponent/Santa Catalina quarter of Palma. Table reservations can be made via WhatsApp.
