The story
In the heart of Palma, just steps from the cathedral and the sea, DINS Santi Taura occupies a historic enclave in the barrio of Sa Calatrava. This centuries-old neighbourhood, woven into the city’s old-town walls, provides the backdrop for a restaurant that has held a Michelin star since 2020 and also boasts two Soles Repsol.
Chef Santi Taura interprets Mallorcan cuisine from a current point of view, never forgetting the roots. His cooking is grounded in the traditional dishes of the islands, made with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. The result is a style that feels both familiar and fresh – modern Spanish cooking that honours its past.
Diners choose between two distinct experiences. At the chef’s counter, you sit alongside Santi and his team, watching each dish take shape while receiving direct explanations. The counter service is offered only at 14:15 and 21:00. For a more intimate evening, the tables in the salon are available at 13:00, 14:00, 19:30 and 20:30. Whichever you choose, the offering is a single tasting menu – no à la carte, no vegan option, and no guests under 16.
The wine programme is overseen by director of beverages and sommelier Joan Arboix. The cellar holds more than 600 European references, with a strong emphasis on local and national bottles, over fifty champagnes, and a carefully curated selection of nearly a hundred Burgundies – likely the most extensive such list on the island. The team’s manifesto: texture, smoothness and elegance first; bubbles for any excuse; local as a starting point; one hundred Burgundies, zero Bordeaux.
Passion, effort and perseverance define the team. The kitchen and front-of-house work in concert to deliver a seamless experience, whether you are at the counter or in the salon. Every detail, from the ingredients to the timing, is handled with care.
