Quita Penas

A great small restaurant where you can get tapas with local specialities (bread with cheese, different kind of meat, olives …)! The restaurant is off the beaten track and it is very small but this is what makes it so special! The owner was very friendly and while he prepared our food we sat down in front of the restaurant enjoying the nice atmosphere!

This place was an absolute revelation. During our two weeks in Europe, it was our most interesting dining experience, and may have been our tastiest.
QuintaPenas is the passion project of a young man named Axan and his wife (who we did not get to meet). They live above their little shop, and we could hear an Eddie Vedder live album drifting down from the second story apartment. Very charming.
The food itself is simple. We’d never been exposed to pa amb oli, a Mallorcan specialty, but I think I can safely say that it can’t possibly get better than QuitaPenas.
Axan personally prepared and served us 5 different types of pa amb oli. All of the sausages, meats and cheeses were perfect. I get timid about some dried/​cured meats, but there was so much love and energy in the dishes and Axan had so much expertise, I just went with the flow. So glad that I did.
If you love food and you live the idea of kettle simple, perfect ingredients stand on their own, you need to take a pilgrimage to QuitaPenas to meet Axan. You won’t regret it!
