Is it expensive to eat out in Majorca?

Dinner for two in a mid-range restaurant is in the region of around 45€, for a main course, some drinks, and a dessert. Seafood restaurants, expect to pay at least 40€ to 80€ for two people including starters, main, desserts and drinks.



In 2026, eating out in Majorca (Mallorca) is considered moderately priced compared to other major European island destinations. A "budget" traveler can expect to spend about €15 to €20 for a meal at an inexpensive restaurant or a casual tapas bar. For a mid-range, three-course meal for two at a standard restaurant with a bottle of wine, you should budget between €70 and €100. One of the best "value" secrets in Majorca remains the "Menu del Día" (Menu of the Day), which is typically offered during lunch hours (1:00 PM to 4:00 PM) and includes three courses and a drink for €12 to €18. On the other hand, luxury dining in areas like Port d'Andratx or Michelin-starred venues in Palma can easily exceed €150 per person. Be aware of the "Cubierto" charge (bread and olives), which is often automatically placed on the table and adds €2 to €3 per person to your bill. For 2026, Majorca remains a destination where you can eat very well on a modest budget if you "eat like a local" and avoid the primary beachfront tourist traps.
