Description
El Calamar Rubio is a family-run bar-restaurant in the Ponent neighbourhood of Palma, serving home-cooked, traditional food since 1985.
Home-Cooked Food with a Long Tradition
Since 1985, El Calamar Rubio has stood for genuine home cooking — "Comida Casera que Enamora" (home cooking that wins your heart), as the restaurant itself puts it. The menu features dishes such as tortilla, calamares, snails, arroz brut, tapas, pa amb oli, carrilleras and home-made desserts. Even the potatoes are made from scratch. Portions are generous.
A Family Business with Real History
The restaurant has been run by the same family for over 30 years; the current owner, Mónica, took the reins around 18 years ago. That heritage shows in the atmosphere: unpretentious, shaped by locals, with no pretence of gloss — just a genuine neighbourhood feel.
Located in the Ponent Neighbourhood
You'll find El Calamar Rubio at Carrer de Francesc Martí i Móra 74 in the Ponent neighbourhood of Palma. If you want to experience everyday Palma well away from the tourist trail, this is well worth a visit.
