Note:

Eating Out in Mallorca:
The Spanish like to eat late - many restaurants do not even open until 1.30 at lunchtime and 8:30 in the evening, and fill up an hour or two later. It is a good idea to book a table in advance, especially in summer and at weekends. Formal dress is rarely necessary even at the best establishments smart casual is the rule. And children are always welcome!

Cellers:
A celler is an old winecellar converted into a restaurant specialising in traditional Mallorcan cuisine. Real basement cellers have wine vats to prove it, but nowadays the term is used for any old-style restaurant. Cellers are good places to go in order to try Mallorcan classics like 'llom amb col' (pork wrapped in cabbage) or 'frit mallorqui (fried offal). The best cellers are found in market towns like Inca and Sineu.
