Mallorca (Majorca) Tapas, Pinxo Restaurants and Bars
Mallorca Food and Restaurants - Tapas
In
common with most of Spain, tapas is a wildly popular way to dine out on
Mallorca.
Comprising many small portions of various types of traditional Spanish
dishes, tapas has traditionaly been served free with drinks of an evening.
This tradition still survives in many establishments in mallorquin areas
but don't rely on it! You will more commonly be offered only a bowl of
olives.
Tapas can also be "super sized" up and served as a main meal
with larger portions being ordered. Half a dish (media ración)
or a whole one (ración) are often ordered by a group and can help
to save money.

Lomo Con Pimientos - pork with peppers in
tomato sauce
