Restaurante Son Tomàs — Restaurant in Banyalbufar

We're every year in Mallorca and we try a lot of different restaurants. While there are plenty really good options, most of them are already highly rated and you expect great service and amazing food. The Son Tomàs, where we have been today, is a bit of a hidden gem.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The bacalao carpaccio was an absolute favourite.
