• MAMBO - A Vibrant Culinary Journey in Palma de Mallorca

    Written by Jahwanna Berglund

    Mambo, nestled in the heart of Palma de Mallorca, is a culinary haven that takes diners on a delightful journey of Mediterranean flavours with a twist.

    Owned and runned by Brazilian chef Gabriel Conti and his charming wife, Elena Gil, this is a gem on the Palma restaurant map.

    With stylish decor. A mix of modern and rustic elements and an overall relaxed atmosphere. The restaurant boasts an expansive outdoor seating area, which offers stunning views of Palma's picturesque streets.
    The staff at Mambo deserve special praise for their warm and genuine hospitality and attentiveness. From the moment we were seated, I was greeted with a smile and promptly presented with a menu. The waiters were knowledgeable about the dishes, offering insightful recommendations. Throughout the meal, they were attentive without being intrusive, which added to the overall pleasant dining experience.
    Mambo's menu boasts an enticing selection of dishes that showcase the best of Mediterranean cuisine with a creative twist. The fusion of local produce and international influences made each dish a delightful surprise. I started with the Avocado Russian salad that was topped with shredded egg and the grilled Razor clams , which was a harmonious blend of flavours. For the secondi, me and my company shared the baby squids from Galicia. Galicia is located in the northwest Iberian Peninsula and is known for their way of serving octopus. For the main course, we opted for the Filet Mignon with Perigord sauce and the Grilled High Loin , a rich and aromatic masterpiece that transported my taste buds to the south of France. Matched with perfectly cooked mashed potatoes, a true symphony of flavours.
    The restaurant also offers a commendable variety of vegetarian and vegan options, providing a welcoming space for diverse dietary preferences.
    Mambo's dessert selection was a delightful finale to the meal.
    The Curd Apple Cheesecake was a true highlight, with its tangy lemon curd, fluffy meringue, and buttery pastry. It was a refreshing and light option to end the meal on a sweet note.


    While the quality of the dishes and the overall dining experience at Mambo justify the prices, it leans towards the higher end, making it more suitable for special occasions or indulgent outings. Nonetheless, the innovative culinary offerings and top-notch service make it a worthwhile splurge for food enthusiasts seeking a memorable dining experience in Palma de Mallorca.
    In conclusion, Mambo undoubtedly lives up to its reputation as a top dining destination in Palma de Mallorca. With its vibrant ambiance, diverse menu, and impeccable service, the restaurant offers a memorable culinary journey that is sure to please food connoisseurs and casual diners alike. If you find yourself in Palma and have an appreciation for creative Mediterranean cuisine, Mambo is a must-visit to satiate your cravings.
