Culinary soul at Bondo Cocina

Inspiring connection over fresh, traditional meals with a modern twist

Bondo Cocina by Andrea and Carlos

Hidden away in the charming, winding streets of the La Lonja neighbourhood in Palma’s Old Town, the intimate restaurant Bondo Cocina invites you to experience a heartfelt take on tapas-style dining. Founded by Argentinian couple Andrea and Carlos, Bondo Cocina embodies their passion for honest cuisine and local ingredients. Authenticity and warmth have been integrated into every aspect of Bondo, from the menu to what’s on the walls.

Andrea, an architect by trade, has infused the restaurant with a modern yet understated aesthetic, allowing Carlos’ culinary creations to truly shine. Stylish decor and ambient lighting set the mood for an evening of delicious plates, standing out from the more typical tourist spots and impressing passersby. Romantic and personal, the atmosphere at Bondo delivers an exceptional dining experience, while the delicious plates keep guests coming back for more.

A menu rooted in family values

Carlos’ culinary journey began with his love for bringing people together over meals. A private-chef-turned-restauranteur, each menu item reflects his Argentinian roots and deep appreciation for Mallorcan tradition. Seasonal, market-to-table ingredients shine in dishes that offer unique combinations of flavours and textures, consistently adding a fresh twist to the traditional.

Try the gambas al ajillo for prawns bathed in a rich garlic-infused olive oil, delivering a delightful Spanish-inspired indulgence. Their matambre, a nod to Carlos’ Argentinian roots, presents a tender cut of beef cooked to perfection, celebrating the robustness of Argentine cuisine. For dessert, the toasted banana bread with coconut ice cream offers a comforting yet innovative twist, combining warm, caramelised notes of banana bread with the cool, creamy sweetness of coconut ice cream— a conclusion to a meal you won’t soon forget.

Founded on connection

Andrea and Carlos designed their restaurant to represent connection and culinary delight, bringing people together in a simple yet sophisticated setting. In this cosy haven, guests are invited to relax while the delicious offerings create moments of shared joy and conversation. Each meal transforms into a celebration of togetherness and gourmet excellence.

In both Argentina and in Spain, there is a deep-seated appreciation for long, leisurely meals where food is savoured as a means of connection. This cultural ethos is honoured through dishes that invite guests to slow down and indulge in the flavours of both regions. The restaurant embodies the spirit of shared meals as opportunities for conversation and enjoyment, echoing the cherished traditions of its founders.

Those seeking warmth and authenticity in tapas dining will find it in the heart of Palma’s historic district, where a lovely dining experience at Bondo awaits for visitors and locals alike.
