This is not my business

La Parada del Mar is a fish and seafood restaurant in Palma that operates on a fish-market principle: guests choose their dish directly from the fresh display at the counter.

From the Counter to Your Table

The concept itself is the real draw at La Parada del Mar: before taking your seat, you step up to the fish counter at the entrance and pick from a fresh display — oysters, prawns, mussels, clams, razor clams, squid, lobster, monkfish, sea bass and more. Your selection is then prepared to order, grilled, fried or steamed as you prefer. The value for money is a recurring highlight — especially given the freshness and generosity of what's on offer.

Tasting Menu

Alongside the freedom to pick your own at the counter, the restaurant offers a tasting menu covering several courses of fish and seafood. Many diners single out its variety and generous portions as particular highlights.

Location & Getting There

The restaurant is located at Avinguda de Joan Miró 244 in the Ponent district of Palma. Free on-site parking is available, and free street parking can also be found nearby. By bus, line 4 connects the city centre directly to the restaurant.

Bookings & What to Expect

Tables can be reserved via Google — given how popular the place is, booking ahead is strongly advisable. Even with a reservation, there may be a short wait at the entrance, as orders are placed at the counter collectively at the start of the evening. Service is attentive, friendly and efficient, and the restaurant is well suited to families with children and larger groups.
