Description

El Pilón is a tapas restaurant in the heart of Palma, serving Mediterranean cuisine with a focus on seafood in a vaulted cellar with beautifully exposed historic stonework.

Tapas with Seafood at the Fore

The menu revolves around classic tapas with a clear emphasis on seafood. Grilled octopus is the house signature — consistently praised as tender and perfectly cooked. Navajinas (razor clams) stand out as another highlight, alongside anchovies and a remarkable vegetarian option of aubergine drizzled with raw-cane honey. If squid isn't your thing, there are still plenty of choices on the menu.

Atmosphere: Vaults, Alleyways and Cosiness

The restaurant is set within an old vaulted room with exposed stonework, giving the space a warm, authentic feel. The dining area is small and intimate, tucked away down a narrow side street in Palma's Centre district. Regional wines round off the offering beautifully.
