Zaranda
Palma, Spain




The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Fernando Pérez Arellano’s legendary Zaranda restaurant continues to delight the senses in the city’s old quarter, within the walls of the Es Princep luxury hotel, but with a separate entrance.It stands above the remains of a former tannery, a connection recognised in the names of some of its appetisers. The enticing tasting menus (Hipodermis, Dermis and Epidermis) include highly unusual appetisers and pickles. These either have an Arab influence or a connection with the history of the leather tanning basins which are partially visible to guests through the glass floor. Thanks to Zaranda’s combination of meticulous presentation, delicate textures, the very best ingredients from the island, and astute food and wine pairings, you won’t be disappointed!
