Description

El Gallego is a family-run Spanish restaurant in the heart of Palma, specialising in Galician cuisine.

Galician Cuisine in Palma

El Gallego champions traditional Galician cooking, with a strong focus on seafood and meat dishes. Octopus is the star of the menu — consistently praised as tender and exceptional. Scallops, langoustines, spider crab and generous seafood platters are all firm fixtures. Galician classics such as empanada, caldo gallego and squid in its own ink round out the selection. The meat dishes are equally impressive: ribeye steak, T-bone, beef cheeks and kid ribs all receive regular acclaim. Home-made desserts — including tocinillo de cielo, house-made pudding and filloa pancake cake with chocolate — bring the meal to a satisfying close.

Atmosphere and Character

The restaurant is small, cosy and warmly familial. The feel is welcoming, authentic and rustic. El Gallego is popular with locals and tends to be busy, so booking ahead is strongly recommended. Groups are very welcome, and takeaway is also available.

Location

El Gallego is located at Carrer de Joaquim Botia 9 in the Centre district of Palma, tucked down a side street away from the main thoroughfares. Paid parking is available nearby.
