Asador Tierra Aranda

Tucked away on a picturesque cobbled street this is a very fine, traditional Mallorcian restaurant housed in a charming, rambling historic building.
We had lovely, long lazy Sunday lunch of suckling pig in the traditional dining room which was full of Spanish families enjoying the naturally roasted meats. On a rainy afternoon in March this was just about the perfect place to be in Palma.
Meat is the thing to order here and the specialties are slow roasted in the ancient oven that you will see before you make your way up the stairs to the dining room (as the weather improves you will dine outside on the terrace).
The wine list is well put together and the prices are very reasonable. House wine is under 10 € and there are some great bottles to be had for around 20 €.
Although tourists receive a warm and friendly welcome the main clients are Spanish so choose your time to dine carefully unless you want to eat alone.
