Description
El Viejo y el Mar is a Galician tavern in Palma serving Atlantic seafood and shellfish.
Galician cuisine on the plate
The menu revolves entirely around Atlantic seafood and shellfish — no fish, but quality produce served sharing-style at the table. Scallops and zamburiñas are among the most celebrated dishes in the house. The pulpo a la gallega is widely regarded as outstanding. Prawns and home-made desserts — including cheesecake and almond cake — also leave a strong impression. Value for money is consistently considered fair.
Atmosphere & character
El Viejo y el Mar prides itself on being a proper Galician taberna — small, with a modest number of covers. The feel of the place is authentic and local: tucked away from the tourist areas, with a loyal regular clientele that keeps coming back. Guests describe the décor as charmingly old-fashioned.
