The best tapas bars - Balearic Islands in 2024

Practical information : Take a break Balearic Islands

Timetable

Bakeries, cafeterias and ice-cream parlors are generally open all day long, until around 8pm in season (6pm in winter), or even a little later for ice-cream parlors (a good ice-cream is always a good dessert idea in this heat!). However, there are no hard and fast rules here, and to avoid wasting your time, it's best to make a quick phone call. Bars generally open around 7-8pm and close around 2am, or even 4am in some cases.

Budget & Tips

Prices for gourmet breaks and alcoholic beverages are generally lower than in France (with the exception of discotheques and similar establishments). Balearic pastries are highly recommendable (especially the delicious ensaïmadas ), as are liquores de hierbas, the most famous of which is Ibiza's famous hierbas ibicencas.

What's very local

It's very common to drink your coffee, and even more so your café au lait, on the rocks: it's the famous cortado con hielo or tallat amb gel in Catalan.

Kids

Children are generally accepted wherever a bar permit is not in force. However, they may sometimes be accepted on a bar terrace until early evening.

Smokers

While smoking is prohibited in gourmet shops, cafés and bars, until recently smokers were welcome on the terraces of these same establishments. However, pandemic-related restrictions changed all that, and in 2022, smokers were invited to take a step back and smoke.
