One of the best ways to truly understand Palma is through its food. On this foodie walking tour, we explore the Old Town at a relaxed pace, combining cultural insights with carefully selected tastings of traditional Mallorcan products.
We follow a thoughtfully designed route that avoids the busiest tourist streets, allowing you to discover authentic corners, local food spots and hidden gems. Along the way, your guide will explain how Mallorca’s history, traditions and local lifestyle have shaped its unique cuisine.
The itinerary may vary slightly depending on group size to ensure a personal and enjoyable experience, but the focus is always the same: real Palma, real flavours, and a genuine connection with the city.
During the tour, we stop at several iconic and lesser-known gastronomic spots, including:
-
Visit to the Santa Clara Convent to taste handmade cookies prepared by the nuns
-
Tasting traditional Mallorcan panadas and sobrasada
-
A tapas stop at a local venue (location may vary)
-
Sweet finale with almond ice cream and ensaimada at the legendary Can Joan de S’Aigo
To end the experience, we stop at the ancient olive tree in front of the Town Hall in Plaça de Cort — the perfect place for a group photo and a memorable finish to your food tour.
Palma Food Tour Reviews
As a senior traveller who prefers exploring at a slower pace, I found this 3-hour food tour to be exceptionally well-paced and comfortable. NoFrills Excursions handles the organisation perfectly, keeping the group size under 15 people so it feels personal and relaxed. Our local guide was so nice, helping everyone navigate the walking route smoothly and explaining the history behind everything we tasted, from the savoury tapas to the final sweets. It completely removed the stress of planning or navigating busy markets on my own, turning the day into a zero-worry excursion where everything was fully taken care of. For anyone visiting the island, it is one of those excursions in Mallorca that offers genuine local insight and excellent hospitality.
My partner and I wanted to experience traditional Mallorcan food without the guesswork of choosing restaurants ourselves. The entire tour was wonderfully organised, taking us through the beautiful Old Town to taste authentic sobrasada, panadas, and a local glass of wine. The guide was incredibly nice and knowledgeable, answering all our questions about Palma's history and making sure the whole afternoon was a zero-worry experience because they managed every single detail for us. Ending the tour with a group photo by the ancient olive tree in Plaça de Cort was a lovely touch.
This walking tour is a great way to discover Mallorca's real flavours away from the typical tourist traps. We visited the bustling Mercat de l’Olivar and finished with delicious ensaimada and almond ice cream at the historic Can Joan de S’Aigo. A highly recommended excursion for food lovers wanting a relaxed, small-group vibe.
Booking this with NoFrills Excursions made our afternoon in Palma completely effortless. Our guide and the coordinator were very nice, helping us with dietary preferences and ensuring a zero-worry excursion since they took care of all the bookings and food orders at every stop. Trying the handmade cookies from the nuns was a truly unique highlight!
A fantastic, small-group experience through Palma's authentic streets with excellent value for money.
