Vermuteria Bar Mercat — Restaurant in Sóller

I stumbled across this place whilst I was walking around soller, my dad always told me to visit the streets where the tourist don't go, off the beaten track. So with his wisdom I did so and I stumbled upon a market, I thought I would have a look inside as I like to see local markets instead of your major ones. And then I found this place, tucked away in the corner of the market. As an Englishman I saw "bar" so I thought ok have a beer, then I saw the tapas, and I know from experience when you see a little bar serving beers and tapas well out of the tourist area, I'm in for a treat. I asked for a small beer (in very bad Spanish)😊 and the owner said of course, could interest you in some red hake or dirlon ( I think)with a garlic pesto? I knew, right there and then that this was the real thing. I said please I'll have the red hake. No problem sir, just give me a few minutes. A few minutes late he produces this red hake with the garlic pesto on a plate. As soon as I heard the crunch with my knife and fork and put into my mouth I said, out loud, "wow", he said everything ok sir? I said I've been in Mallorca for the past 10 days and this is what I've been looking for. He then told me it's what I caught this morning on his boat. I told him I would be back to have another but I need to get the tram down to the port to have a look, "it's ok I leave your tab on as I trust you" I said my good bye and got as far as the corner before I came back and asked "Uno mas por vor?" I'm now back in England now thinking of just booking a holiday just for this place. Amazing beyond words. The best fish I have ever tasted, and I...

A gem in the heart of Sóller! La Vermuteria is one of those places you stumble upon and immediately want to tell everyone about — and also keep it a secret at the same time. The food is absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors that feel true to the market and the local spirit. Everything is thoughtfully prepared, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients.

What makes the experience even more special is Samuel, the owner. He’s the kind of host who makes you feel instantly welcome, like you’re visiting a friend rather than just dining out. His passion for what he does shines through in every detail — from the menu to the atmosphere.

If you’re in Sóller, don’t miss it. It’s the kind of place you’ll remember long after your...

Absolutely fantastic spot for tapas. The owner is incredibly friendly and happily tailors the meal to you. Just let him know how many people and he can throw together a great offering.

The hospitality was unparalleled. When my sister went in later in the day, she wanted something a little more light. The owner walked across the market to the butcher then to the produce stall and whipped them up a fantastic menu that was entirely off menu.

Fantastic place for food and service. The market it is located in is older and a bit run down but this place is bringing some new energy in.

Went multiple times and sent my family there as well. They also helped open a restaurant in Porte Soller, and decided to go there after...
