Some of the best eating at La Posada happens before the main course even arrives. Our tapas and dishes to share are built for the middle of the table — a spread of small plates to graze over, a glass of Mallorcan wine in hand, with the Serra de Tramuntana in front of you. Come for a full meal or just for tapas and a drink on the terrace.
Dishes to share
The idea is simple: order a few plates for the table and pass them around. It's the most relaxed way to eat, and it lets everyone taste a bit of everything — which is exactly how a long Mallorcan lunch should feel.
- Galician-style octopus with potatoes — tender octopus, soft potato and smoked paprika.
- Garlic prawns in butter — sizzling in garlic butter, with bread to mop the pan.
- Fried Padrón peppers — blistered with sea salt; some sweet, the odd one fiery.
- Spinach croquettes with pine nuts — creamy inside, crisp outside.
- Selection of 4 La Troya mezze — a board of Mediterranean mezze to share.
- Surf & turf tacos — prawns and beef, two pieces, for the table that can't decide.

Mallorcan & Mediterranean small plates
For a real taste of the island, start with pa amb oli — Mallorca's everyday classic of country bread rubbed with olive oil and tomato, served with cured ham. Around it sit Mediterranean favourites: burrata bruschetta with tomato confit, hummus with falafel, fried goat cheese with chutney, tzatziki with bread, and feta-filled sigara börek. Vegetarian tables are well looked after — many of the sharing plates are meat-free.
Tapas with a view
Everything is served on the panoramic terrace of the historic Palacio del Rey Sancho, with open views over the Serra de Tramuntana. Pair a few tapas with something from the wood-fired grill and a Mallorcan wine, and you have the makings of a long, easy lunch.
Where to find the best tapas in Valldemossa
Valldemossa is a small village with a handful of places to eat, and tapas turn up on most menus. What sets La Posada apart is the combination: a proper kitchen built around the grill, a genuinely wide sharing menu, and the terrace view — so you can make a meal of small plates without giving up the setting.
