When I first arrived in Alcudia, one of the things I was most excited about was diving into the local food scene — and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. As someone who loves trying different dishes and sharing food around the table, tapas in Alcudia quickly became one of my favourite parts of the trip.
There’s just something special about ordering a mix of small plates, sipping a cold glass of wine or a local beer, and soaking up the lively atmosphere of a proper Spanish tapas bar. Whether we were in Alcudia Old Town, with its cobbled streets and historic charm, or closer to the beach in Port d’Alcudia, we always managed to find a place serving delicious, authentic tapas — and a warm welcome to match.
Over the course of our stay, we tried a fair few tapas spots (okay, maybe more than a few), and I’ve pulled together my personal favourites in this guide. If you’re planning a visit and wondering where to eat tapas in Alcudia, here are the places I’d recommend — from tucked-away local gems to popular restaurants with unbeatable views. Trust me, you won’t go hungry.
Tucked away on the stunning north coast of Mallorca, Alcudia completely won me over with its laid-back charm and gorgeous mix of history, culture, and coastal beauty. Whether it’s your first time on the island or you’ve been here before, I always tell people that a visit to Alcudia is a must — and not just for the scenery. One of the highlights for me has to be the food scene, especially if you love tapas as much as I do. Between the winding cobbled streets of the Old Town and the breezy waterfront down by the marina, there are so many amazing spots to sample authentic Spanish and Mallorcan tapas. From melt-in-your-mouth cured ham and sobrassada to surprisingly tasty escargot, I found dishes here that completely surprised and delighted me. If you're curious about where to eat tapas in Alcudia, I’ve rounded up my favourite finds below — a mix of local gems and must-visit restaurants that I think any foodie would love to discover.
But be warned, your belly will no doubt be rumbling after this…
I stumbled upon Me Gusta Gastrobar after a morning wandering through Alcudia’s historic old town, and it quickly became one of my favourite tapas spots in the area. Tucked just around the corner from Porta del Moll — that iconic 14th-century stone gate — this place blends traditional Spanish charm with a modern twist. The menu is packed with Mediterranean-inspired tapas, including vegetarian and vegan options, all made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The outdoor terrace is a dream; we sat there with views of the old city walls, sipping chilled wine and sampling one delicious dish after another. The vibe is relaxed but lively, and it’s such a convenient spot for lunch or dinner if you’re exploring nearby sights. It’s open most days, with extended hours on weekends — definitely worth planning a visit around your sightseeing schedule.
One of the best restaurants in Alcudia serving up some of the tastiest of tapas is Sa Taverna des Port. If you're anything like me and love a good sunset by the sea with a table full of tapas, Sa Taverna des Port is an absolute gem.
It’s right by Alcudia’s marina, and honestly, the location alone is worth the visit. I spent an evening here watching the golden light fade across the water with a cold drink and a table full of seafood tapas — fresh from the day’s catch. The menu leans into Mediterranean and Spanish flavours, with loads of options for vegetarians and gluten-free diners too. I especially loved the cold tapas and veggie dishes; they were bursting with flavour. It’s a bit removed from the busier touristy parts of town, which makes it feel more relaxed and authentic. Whether you come for lunch or stay late into the night (they’re open until 1 am!), it’s one of the best spots in Alcudia for tapas with a view.
Also located beside the Port of Alcudia is Ramons Bar, a traditional Mallorcan bar serving traditional Mallorcan food at its finest, including delicious tapas.
After a sunny beach day over at Platja de Muro, we were starving and looking for something traditional — and that’s how we found Ramons Bar, just off the main boulevard by the port.
It’s the kind of local spot that doesn’t try too hard because it doesn’t have to. Ramons is all about great food, simple charm, and a true Mallorcan feel. The tables spill out onto both sides of the street under the veranda, and we happily spent hours here grazing on classics like Padron peppers, meatballs, and crispy anchovies. Pair it with a cold drink and you’ve got yourself the perfect afternoon. It’s one of those places where you feel like you’re right in the rhythm of local life. They’re open every day except Wednesdays, and honestly, I’d come back again just for the atmosphere.
With its sand-coloured architecture and wooden tables and chairs lining its bordering pavement, Crystal Tapas Bar and Restaurant is exactly how you’d envisage an authentic tapas restaurant to look like.
Wandering through the winding streets of Alcudia’s old town, I spotted Crystal and it immediately drew me in.
With its sun-washed stone façade and wooden tables lining the pavement, it looks exactly like what you imagine when you picture an authentic tapas spot in Spain. The menu is fantastic — simple, homemade dishes like chorizo, cheeses, and local hams, with lots of veggie, vegan, and gluten-free options too. Everything I tried was full of flavour, clearly made with love and good ingredients. It’s also one of the more affordable options in the area, which makes it perfect for a casual lunch or early dinner while you’re exploring. Sitting outside, I watched the comings and goings of the town and truly felt like I was soaking up real Mallorcan life. They’re open every day except Saturday — a great one to bookmark.
This lovely tapas bar nestled within Alcudia old town offers a slightly more contemporary atmosphere for its customers looking for a bite to eat and drink during their stay here.
For a slightly more modern vibe without losing that Mallorcan soul, Capricho de Alcudia was a brilliant find.
It’s tucked into a peaceful square in the old town — just far enough from the busier streets to feel like a quiet escape. I grabbed a seat under one of the square’s trees and immediately noticed the rows of cured jamón serrano hanging inside. If you’re a fan of cured meats, this place is heaven. They serve several types, each with its own distinctive flavour, and I paired mine with local cheese and olives — simple, satisfying, and exactly what tapas should be. The setting is great for everything from a quick snack to a long, lazy lunch with friends. There’s just something about sitting in that square, nibbling on salty ham, and watching the world go by that really captures the heart of Alcudia.
On one of my first strolls through Alcudia’s old town, I came across Bistro Plaza, and it ended up being one of those relaxed, friendly places I was really glad I sat down at. It’s a little larger than some of the other tapas spots tucked into the narrow alleys nearby, but it still captures that warm, authentic Mallorcan charm.
Whether you want to sit inside or out, there’s plenty of space — we chose a table under the veranda along one of the town’s wider streets and watched the world go by as we tucked into generous plates of patatas bravas, cured meats, and perfectly marinated olives. The service was spot-on — really welcoming and laid-back, just what you want after a long day exploring. It's open every day from 11 am to 10:30 pm, which makes it such an easy go-to if you’re craving solid, no-fuss tapas in a chilled setting any day of the week.
Restaurant Sa Mossegada serves Mediterranean, European and Spanish cuisine to its guests, and can be found just beside the interior confines of the old town, nearby Sant Jaume d’Alcudia, the town’s historic and grand church.
If you’re looking to treat yourself to a more refined tapas experience while staying true to Alcudia’s rich cultural setting, Sa Mossegada is where I’d send you. It’s tucked just beside the historic Sant Jaume church, inside the old town walls, and as soon as I walked into the peaceful garden-like terrace, I knew this place would be special.
The atmosphere is tranquil and elegant — you’re surrounded by greenery and golden stone, with views of Alcudia’s towers just peeking over the walls. It’s a beautiful spot to slow down and savour something a little more elevated. Their tapas are a modern take on Mediterranean flavours, and every dish felt like a creative twist on tradition. I loved that there were great vegetarian options too, and everything was plated beautifully. If you prefer to dine indoors, the light, airy interior is just as inviting. Open daily from 8 am to 10 pm, Sa Mossegada feels like a little slice of contemporary dining set against centuries of history — a must if you’re after a more sophisticated food experience in Alcudia.
