The Best Restaurants In Santanyi, 2025
Sleuthing the best restaurants in Santanyi, the gateway to Mallorca's east coast
Santanyi was the town that opened our eyes to how amazing the east coast of Mallorca is. Our first stay was in a beautiful and rustic Airbnb close to the rugged coastline at Cap des Moro. It was an easy 10 minute drive into Santanyi for dinner each night and we started to form an attachment to this beuatiful town and it's charming restaurants.
Santanyí, home to only about 3,000 residents, often feels serene with its quiet town square. This tranquility has attracted several entrepreneurs to set up stylish interior design shops, art galleries, and restaurants adorned with walled gardens and citrus trees. Here are our tips for the 5 best restaurants to visit in Santanyi in 2025.
