Andres Cosmopolis sits on Carrer de la Fàbrica in Santa Catalina, the street that together with the market forms the culinary core of this Palma quarter. With that many neighbours, a house needs something of its own. Here it is a Mediterranean kitchen with a fusion streak: Spanish foundations, borrowings from South America and Asia, and a menu that reaches surprisingly far for a place this size.
The same restaurant will meet you under two names. On its own channels it calls itself Cosmópolis Santa Catalina, in directories and on booking portals it appears as Andres Cosmopolis. Both mean the same address on the Fàbrica, with a terrace onto the street and an air-conditioned room inside.
The house puts its own approach briefly: fresh, seasonal produce, tradition and new ideas side by side, every plate meant to surprise without losing the familiar flavour. On the menu that reads as a route across sea and land.
The menu at Andres Cosmopolis
The tapas are no sideline here; calling the house a tapas bar sells it short. This side of the menu carries artichokes with Iberico ham, garlic prawns, baby squid, Roman-style fried squid, cod fritters, chorizo in cider, bacon-wrapped dates, focaccia with alioli and broken eggs with Iberico ham.
Among the starters the fusion claim turns concrete: salmon tartare with avocado and mango in the Asian manner, homemade pork and prawn gyozas, a ceviche of corvina, creole empanadas with pico de gallo, smoked scallops with chimichurri and grilled octopus in the style of Peruvian causa limeña. Beside them stands what you expect in Palma: steak tartare on bone marrow, foie brioche with caramelised apple, creamy croquettes of boletus or Iberico ham.
Fish, meat and desserts
The fish page is where the kitchen's handwriting shows most clearly. Cod is cooked confit and served with quince, sobrasada and alioli, salmon arrives under a parmesan crust, tuna comes as tagliata-tataki in a pistachio crust; alongside them turbot en papillote with black olives and capers and sea bream from the plancha with patató. These are combinations somebody had to dare first.
The meat side is more classical and distinctly more Argentinian: tenderloin and entrecôte from the grill, the tenderloin also with goat cheese and Marsala or with foie, plus pluma and secreto from the Iberian pig and pork cheek braised in Pedro Ximénez. To finish, pistachio coulant, torrija with pistachio sauce, zabaione, tiramisu and a gluten-free coconut and mango semifreddo. Children get a short list of their own.
Bar, terrace and the quarter
The house understands itself not only as a restaurant but expressly as a cocktail bar, and the drinks list bears that out: vermouth, sangría by the glass and by the pitcher, long rows of gin, rum and whisky and a cocktail selection from Negroni to Pisco Sour. One drink on it carries the name of the house.
Santa Catalina was once the quarter of fishermen and millers and is today the densest restaurant district in Palma, with the Mercat de Santa Catalina at its centre. The terrace on the Fàbrica sits in the middle of that traffic, inside it is air-conditioned and quieter. You can say which you prefer when you book.
Good to know
Booking runs through the restaurant's own website or by telephone, and it pays not to leave it to the last moment — the street is busy. Vegetarians get through this menu well: roasted avocado with pico de gallo, beet carpaccio, caprese with buffalo mozzarella, burrata with tomato and rocket and the goat cheese salad with walnuts and apple are fixtures on the card. One dessert and one beer are expressly marked gluten-free.
