Either Palma is very expensive, or you have expensive tastes.... I have lived in Spain for nearly seven years, and I've never paid more than 18 euros for two for a meal including wine.....

Yup, on both accounts. Palma is expensive and I like good food. Yet, for the sake of fairness, a comparable meal in central Europe would set me off for 20-30% more than in Palma.

There some good restaurants is Palma,
one of my favourites in Avenida 31 de Diciembre 100 meters before Aussias March, not very trendy but very goood stuff, all spanish and value for money,
I can´t remember it´s name, but is all green on the outside with kind of yellow golden letters, ´can´t miss it
There some very good ones ´round Playa de Palma as well, but i can´t point you out the right direction like most places in Mallorca

Nice info thanks for sharing ...

Heres a good idea !!

Do not eat in Palma maybe ? grab a packed lunch before you go there
