Welcome to Arroceria el Puente, a culinary gem nestled on Carrer de Monterrey in the vibrant Ponent district of Palma, Illes Balears. This charming restaurant specializes in traditional Spanish cuisine, focusing particularly on exquisite rice dishes that celebrate the rich flavors and techniques of Mediterranean cooking.

The atmosphere at Arroceria el Puente is warm and inviting, with a lovely terrace that creates the perfect backdrop for a delightful meal. Diners can bask in the sun or enjoy a gentle evening breeze while indulging in the culinary delights prepared by a dedicated team of chefs who emphasize the importance of fresh, high-quality ingredients. The passion for food shines brightly here, making every visit a memorable affair.

Amongst the menu's standout offerings is the celebrated paella, a dish that has garnered rave reviews from patrons far and wide. Customer Ina describes it perfectly — “The food was just amazing! You can taste that the broth of the paella is homemade, all ingredients are fresh." This encapsulates the restaurant's dedication to authentic flavors and exceptional service. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience crafted by caring hands.

For seafood aficionados, the seafood rice is another crowd favorite. As noted by D L, “the service was excellent, very friendly and attentive at all times," complementing the dish's "delicious, full of flavor" essence. This combination of attentive service and mouthwatering cuisine ensures that every meal feels special, no matter the occasion.

Passionate reviews also highlight the restaurant's black rice with cuttlefish, a dish that’ll transport your taste buds to coastal Spain. Each bite is a celebration of the sea, perfectly cooked and richly flavored, just as Jonás Ansó found during his visit.

While the experience is overwhelmingly positive, a point of feedback from Irina Dimova illustrates that even in the best establishments, there can be minor hiccups — such as unwanted charges. Yet, this only serves to show that Arroceria el Puente is committed to addressing and improving customer satisfaction, always with an open heart.

If you find yourself in Palma de Mallorca, a reservation is highly recommended, especially for those who wish to ensure a spot at this popular local eatery, as Vivek suggests, showcasing the demand for one of the best paellas in the area.

Whether you are a local or a traveler seeking an authentic taste of Spain, Arroceria el Puente is not just a place to eat; it’s a destination to relish, sharing delightful moments over beautifully crafted dishes. Make your culinary journey complete with a visit — your palate will thank you!

The food was just amazing! You can taste that the broth of the paella is home made all ingredients are fresh. The people working at the arroceria el puente make this experience a perfect one. We haven’t had such a great service in a long time. Definitely worth eating here and we will come back. We have very much appreciated the overall experience here!

One of the best paellas in Palma de Mallorca. The food was very delicious, and the staff were so friendly. We had to make a reservation in advance.

‌‌We had a such good experience of eating Spanish food in this restaurant. We ordered paella for two persons. The quality was great , but the portion was not enough for two adults. The location, design of inside of restaurant and the atmosphere was perfect. We also liked the wall design.
