Cafè Es Pes de sa Palla — Restaurant in Palma

We had a really great food experience here. The dishes were simple in the best way—honest, fresh, and full of real flavor. You can tell the ingredients are natural and seasonal, and everything was thoughtfully prepared.

But what makes this place truly special is the team. The staff includes people with learning or developmental disabilities, and I think this deserves much more attention. Some reviews complain about the service, but I believe those comments miss the point entirely.

These people are not just serving—they're growing, learning, and doing something meaningful. That’s what makes this café unique. I only wish this aspect was made more visible, because once you understand it, you see the place in a whole new light.

Wishing everyone at Es Pes de sa Palla continued strength and joy in what they do. Thank you for...

We asked for an espresso and orange juice, which arrived about 15 minutes later. When I requested a pain au chocolat, the server sighed and rolled his eyes. At this point, we were eager to leave. After receiving the pastry, we asked for the bill, which also took an unnecessarily long time to arrive. I do not recommend this place unless you’re prepared to deal with rude, unfriendly staff and...

We had several servers come to us to take our order very quickly. We took a while to actually order food because we were trying to translate the menu that they gave us in Catalan. That was rather silly. Once we got the menu in Spanish and English it was smooth sailing. I ended up getting the chicken salad with anchovy dressing. It was basically a chicken Caesar salad (the dressing definitely tastes more like anchovy though) but it was delicious. I was still thinking about it the next day. The croquetas were also very good- much better than any croquetas...
