My wife and I had a mediocre lunch experience at Ca'n Toni. We tried the Patatas Bravas, Caracoles, and Cochinillo. The Patatas Bravas were pretty good. The potatoes were savory: crisp on the outside, soft of the inside and topped with a lightly spicy sauce. The Caracoles (Snails) were tender and cooked in a mixture of spicy sausages and chorizo. Finally, the Cochinillo (Suckling Pig) was very disappointing. The pig, which is supposed to be the restaurant's specialty and is cooked in a wood fired oven, was mostly inedible. The skin was hard as a rock and there was significantly more fat than actual meat. The meat itself lacked much flavor. Overall, Ca'n Toni feels more like a tourist trap than a local favorite because the food isn't nearly as good as other restaurants in the area and the restaurant focuses on larger portions at higher prices.
Hands down, the best meal award in Palma de Mallorca goes to this place! It's been over 2 months since we left Palma and I still dream about the roast suckling pig and black ink squid paella my husband and I had. This place was actually recommended to us by a local so we knew we had to try it. The restaurant itself is super simple, not fancy like the other restaurants catered to tourists. The wait staff was super friendly and attentive with all our requests. We order sangria to start and boy was it strong! The roast suckling pig was amazing! I've eaten roast suckling pig since I was a kid, and this by far, was one of the best ones I've ever had. The dish was served with salad and potatoes. However, the highlight was the black ink squid paella! It was the best paella I had in all of Palma. The last time I had a great black ink squid dish was in Croatia. This brought back memories of Croatia and I still can't stop thinking how great the paella was. The rice was cooked just right. The squid was tender and not overcooked/rubbery. Every bite of the paella burst with flavor. The portion size for the dishes were huge. One dish could actually feed 2 people. At the end of our meal, the waiter came over and offered us complimentary shots - how sweet! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic restaurant in Palma. You won't be disappointed.
I sat in the outside patio seating. Was really nice. Place is quite busy. Service was friendly and quick. Ordered the squid ink paella and fried anchovies. The fried anchovies are good. I ordered the half portion and it was a very large serving. The squid ink paella was not good. The rice didn't have the crispiness to it. It had some clams, 1 prawn, and some red bell pepper strips in it. Nothing else. Very plain. I don't think it even had squid in the dish. It did come with a nice garlic butter. That was actually quite good. They automatically bring you olives and bread, which is 2 euro. I wouldn't visit again. But it was good rest stop in my exploration of Palma
Wow! The fish here is cooked to perfection. PERFECTION! I ordered the Mallorca baked fish specialty. First they showed us the pan that the fish was hidden in a mixture filled with potatoes, scallions, Pine nuts, raisins and tomatoes...then after d-boning the fish they presented us with our entree. Also the Jamon and melon dish sprinkled with olive oil and their specialtywas very nice.
Not that bad, just definitely not a 4 stars place. The atmosphere was cute and chill, the vibe was Spanish but the food was just mediocre. Knowing Spanish food, I know it can be much much better. Super basic, and its relevant mostly for tourists that have no idea what to expect. 2 stars tops.
Best meal we had in Mallorca. We went there for the paella (which was amazing) but also had a few of the local Mallorca specialities - e.g. stuffed aubergine via recommendation. The local red wine was great, and while waiting they served us the house table red - quite tasty as well. Parking is a nightmare, garage parking highly recommended 5min walking away. Fyi - There is another Ca'n Toni South of the airport make sure you don't go to that one like we did, Google maps can be a tad unreliable here.
Wonderful people, delicious food, and awesome ambiance. Had the traditional roast pigs hanging from the ceilings and a nice roasted pig getting sliced up as many people appetizer order. The seafood paella was delicious and the cuttlefish was so yummy. I'm sure any order on the Mallorca's specialty list they had would have been a nice choice. Most workers here spoke Spanish but they had a few who understood English and the menu had English as well. Get here early or get a reservation because by 8pm and onwards on the weekends it is jammed.
If you want an authentic experience, I can highly recommend this place. Off a small side street, it's packed from 18:00 onwards every night. They told me they do about 150-170 guests a night. We had a sampling of the calamari, grilled octopus, croquettes and paella and I can recommend them all. Do yourself a favor, get a jug of sangria, it's fabulous!

This was my favorite meal I had in Mallorca. We didn't have a reservation but were lucky to be seated within 5 minutes of arriving. Our server was great and gave us bar recs in the area to go to after eating. My favorites were the Octopus and Tortilla Espanola (shown below), definitely in a quieter area of town but the restaurant is absolutely buzzing. read more

Maybe more of a restaurant for main dishes than for tapas?! They advertise their suckling pig quite heavily. However, the olives, the tuna belly (ventresca de atun) and the croquettes (cod and ham) that we had were fairly disappointing. The tuna in particular was a small portion for the price, which seemed to come straight from the can. Furthermore, each bread roll was billed separately with 1€ each. Bread and olives were brought to the table without comment or asking and were directly billed. The best thing we had was the Torta de Dehesa (goat cheese). It's possible to sit outside, however, the seating area is small and cramped and the chairs were oddly low, giving the entire thing an awkward atmosphere. The service was acceptable, but very focused on efficiency, with guests being complimented out. Bit of a saving grace: the espresso was good and cheap. read more

Very good paella, good service. They had lots of local fare on the menu, like rabbit and suckling pig. We had a paella(yes I know, wrong region) but still one of the best seafood paellas Ive had. read more

By far the best lunch we had during our 14 days in the Mediterranean !!! The octopus a la gallega, the cochinillo, the lamb chops, the black paella, the fish! Everything was sooooo good! And it's such a tiny spot but it was marvelous. The service was also very good! read more
