Every time I visit Alcudia, I find myself falling in love with its food scene all over again. Whether I’m wandering through the cobbled streets of the old town or strolling along the marina at sunset, one thing is always guaranteed: great food is never far away. From rustic local gems hidden behind stone façades to stylish seaside spots with fresh seafood and chilled wine, Alcudia’s restaurants offer a perfect blend of traditional Mallorcan flavours and creative modern twists.
I’ve spent countless evenings here—sometimes looking for a romantic dinner with views over the bay, other times just craving the perfect plate of paella after a long day exploring. So, whether you’re visiting for the first time or coming back for more, I’ve rounded up my six favourite restaurants in Alcudia that I genuinely think you shouldn’t miss. These are the places that I keep coming back to, where the food is unforgettable, the service feels personal, and the setting is nothing short of magic.
Let’s dive in—because the best way to discover Alcudia, in my opinion, is one plate at a time.
I’ve always found Spain’s culinary roots to be as rich and complex as its history—and nowhere is that more evident than on the Balearic Islands. Spain has long been a melting pot of cultures: from the Phoenicians and Greeks to the Moors and Carthaginians, each one has left behind something delicious. You can taste this layered past in every bite—from saffron-laced rice dishes to fresh seafood caught just hours earlier. What we think of today as “Spanish cuisine” is really a beautiful patchwork of global influence, shaped over centuries of conquest, trade, and tradition.
But what makes Spain truly special is how each region—and every island—has taken that foundation and made it entirely their own. Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, is a perfect example. With its abundant produce, locally made wines, and time-honoured recipes passed down through generations, Mallorcan cuisine (or cocina Mallorquina) is the kind of food that tells a story. It’s bold, rustic, and unpretentiously packed with flavour—think tender pork, garden-fresh vegetables, wild herbs, seafood straight from the Med, and plenty of olive oil.
During my time in northern Mallorca, I found myself drawn to Alcúdia—not just for its golden beaches and medieval charm, but for its incredible food. Whether you’re on the hunt for age-old family recipes or five-star tasting menus, Alcúdia delivers. From sea-view terraces to centuries-old townhouses serving traditional dishes, this is a place where food is taken seriously—but always with a relaxed, Mediterranean spirit.
So if you're planning to eat your way through the island (which I highly recommend), here are six standout restaurants in Alcúdia that captured my heart—and my stomach.
There’s no other way to say it: Maca de Castro is a culinary experience. Helmed by the brilliant Macarena de Castro—one of Spain’s most acclaimed chefs and a familiar face on Spanish Celebrity MasterChef—the restaurant holds both a Michelin Star and a Michelin Green Star for sustainability. And after dining here, it’s easy to see why.
The dishes are rooted in Mallorcan tradition but elevated with modern flair and precision. Much of what’s served comes directly from their own farm in nearby Sa Pobla, so every plate bursts with freshness and flavour. From the first amuse-bouche to the final dessert, every detail is thoughtful and beautifully presented.
The setting is refined yet welcoming, and the wine list is exceptional, spotlighting both local gems and international favourites. If you're passionate about food, this is a must-visit destination in Alcúdia—an unforgettable dining experience that captures the soul of Mallorca.
For a meal with a view that’ll stay with you long after your plate is cleared, Restaurante Mirador de la Victoria is hard to top. Perched 150 metres above sea level, it offers breathtaking vistas over the Bay of Pollença and the UNESCO-protected Serra de Tramuntana mountains—one of my favourite spots for soaking in Mallorca’s natural beauty.
The food? Authentic Mallorcan classics, cooked with heart. Whether you’re here for lunch or dinner, every dish feels like a celebration of the island. I highly recommend taking a stroll to the nearby 12th-century Ermita de la Victoria after your meal—it’s just around the corner and adds a lovely historic twist to your outing.
With over 35 years of serving locals and travellers alike, this place is a true staple of northern Mallorca. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, it’s open the rest of the week for both lunch (1–3:45 pm) and dinner (7–10:30 pm).
Tucked away in the heart of Alcúdia’s old town, Básico Gastrobar is a laid-back gem that I stumbled upon during a warm afternoon stroll—and I’ve been going back ever since. The menu is full of Mediterranean goodness: think grilled seafood, tapas made with seasonal ingredients, and flavourful meat and veggie plates that hit the spot.
The vibe here is effortlessly cool. The interior mixes rustic stone with colourful Spanish tiles, while the outdoor seating on the cobbled main street gives you a front-row seat to Alcúdia’s charming old town life. It’s simple, stylish, and delicious—everything a good gastrobar should be.
They’re open Thursday to Tuesday from 1 pm to 10 pm (closed Wednesdays), so make sure to plan accordingly.
If you love seafood as much as I do, Las Sirenas near the Port d’Alcúdia will be right up your street. This family-run restaurant has been serving fresh Mediterranean and European cuisine for over 40 years, and you can feel the passion in every dish.
The location is just a few minutes’ walk from the bustling harbour, but it feels wonderfully peaceful—set on a quiet, pedestrianised street with relaxed indoor and outdoor seating. The nautical-themed décor and breezy blue-and-white palette make you feel like you’re dining right on the water, even if the sea is just out of sight.
It’s a perfect place for a long, lazy lunch or sunset dinner, and they’re open Tuesday to Sunday from 12:30 pm to 11 pm, closing only on Mondays.
Cellar Ca’n Costa is a local institution—the oldest restaurant in Alcúdia, and one of the most atmospheric spots in the old town. Family-run since 1983, this place is all about Mallorcan soul food served in one of the most historic settings in town.
Many of the recipes have been passed down through generations, and you can taste that heritage in every bite. Think hearty rice dishes, succulent meats, rustic stews, and fresh-off-the-boat seafood. The building itself adds to the experience—it was once the holiday home of famed Mallorcan poet Miquel Costa i Llobera and dates all the way back to 1594.
With its leafy courtyard, pink stone walls, and romantic ambiance, dining here feels like stepping back in time. Open Tuesday to Sunday, from 12:30–3 pm and 6–11 pm.
Wine lovers—this one’s for you. Just a few steps from Port d’Alcúdia, The Wine Side is a family-run gastrobar that does two things extremely well: excellent tapas and an even better wine list.
It’s not a traditional restaurant—it’s more of a stylish wine-focused eatery—but don’t let that fool you. The food here is top-notch, with standout seafood, meats, and small plates made for sharing. The vibe is relaxed and informal, with outdoor seating along the cobbled streets and a true Spanish bar feel.
Their wine selection is seriously impressive. Thanks to their Coravin Wine System, every glass is served at its best—whether it’s a bold Mallorcan red or a crisp white from further afield.
Open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 6:30–11 pm, and weekends from 1:30–4 pm and 7–11 pm. Closed Wednesdays.
