In the heart of Santa Catalina, right beside the historic market hall on Carrer d'Anníbal 15, Pedro's is a small, personally run restaurant in Palma that blends Mediterranean lightness with European classics and global influences. Pedro previously cooked in five-star hotels and Michelin-starred kitchens, and he brings that pedigree to the table here without any of the airs.
What makes Pedro's special
The restaurant is deliberately kept small, and that is exactly the appeal: candlelight, fresh flowers on the tables and a blackboard listing the daily specials. Pedro often greets guests in person, and many return for the mix of familiar recipes and small surprises. The team serves in Spanish, German and English, so the international neighbourhood shares a table as a matter of course.
Beyond the regular programme, Pedro regularly invites guest chefs – most recently Barbara Langwallner for an evening of elevated cuisine. The team is also happy to host private celebrations, birthdays and anniversaries.
The food & menu
At lunch the menu changes weekly, alongside Pedro's classics: the currywurst with a fruity-spicy sauce and famously crispy fries, pasta with black truffle, and home-baked cakes made fresh every day to a family recipe.
In the evening the focus shifts to a contemporary selection of Pedro's favourite dishes: tartare of local beef in a spicy marinade with Mallorcan olive oil (also served with caviar on a potato rösti), butter-fried schnitzel, oven-fresh pinsa, baked arancini with salad and hearty classics such as goulash with red-wine sauce or cordon bleu. In winter the menu adds dishes like a potato-and-parsley soup with fresh truffle and crispy bacon. To finish, Pedro flambés the Kaiserschmarrn right at your table. The wine list is compact and well curated, pairing local Mallorcan bottles with familiar German ones.
Atmosphere & location
Pedro's sits on the lively Carrer d'Anníbal, directly at the Santa Catalina market hall – one of Palma's most charming and gastronomically dense neighbourhoods. Inside it is warm, sociable and unpretentious: not stiff fine dining, but a place to share plates, swap stories and linger a while as the quarter comes to life outside.
Who Pedro's is for
Pedro's is for anyone who values honest, carefully prepared food and prefers the personal to the formal – whether for a relaxed lunch, an early drink after work or a convivial dinner with friends. It is worth booking ahead at weekends and on public holidays, especially for groups of four or more.
