Eating in Palma
Palma's food has a strong Mediterranean influence. The main ingredients for their dishes are: seafood, fish, pig, vegetables, sausage and olive oil. By the way, in Palma, Mallorca's Olive oil is commonly used. As opposed to other cities in Spain, Palma has many traditional dishes. However, if you do not only want to eat the island's traditional food, you can go to other restaurants that serve other types of food.
In Palma, there is a dish which is usually eaten before the main dish; this is Sopa Mallorquina. It is a dry soup made of vegetable stock and Pan Moreno (brown bread). The main characteristic of this food is that it is not eaten with a spoon but with a fork because the liquid is absorbed by the bread. The soup is usually served with olives.
For the main dish, there are several options to choose from. For example, they have the "Frito Mallorquin"; it is of Jewish origin and it is made of fried beef, liver, potatoes and peppers. Another popular dish is "Arròs Brut"; it has several meats as pig, rabbit, sausage, etc. "Sobrasada", "Lomo con Col", "Pan con aceite", "Berenjenas rellenas" are other examples of Palma's traditional dishes. Desserts are also popular in Palma. The most popular are: "Rubiol", "Empanada" and "Ensaimada"; nevertheless, the last one is eaten during breakfast.
