Best ensaimadas in Mallorca

One does not fully appreciate Mallorcan culture until they try their first good ensaimada. One of the classics, one of those that Mallorcan locals turn to, a well-made one bought from the right place.

Ensaimada is a word that derives from saïm which means fat. So, as the name indicates, fat is the fundamental and key ingredient for a good and tasty ensaimada.

From La Pérgola, we tell you 4 places to eat the best ensaimadas in Mallorca.

Let’s start:

Can Joan de s’Aigo

Perhaps the most mythical, popular and long-standing place in Palma. Can Joan de s'aigo is a classic among locals and visitors alike. Ensaimadas, cuartos, gatós, ice creams and hot chocolates for an unforgettable afternoon.

Founded in 1700, they have three always packed locations where a festive and family atmosphere reigns.

A classic that never disappoints.

Forn de Santo Cristo

Founded in 1910 by the Coll family, this bakery has become one of the most iconic in Palma where, in addition to many authentic and typical products of the island, its ensaimadas stand out.

Tasty, well-baked and with the exact amount of fat.

A perfect bite.

Forn de Sant Francesc

Maybe the most famous bakery in Inca and abroad, a town in the interior of Mallorca. Thanks to their social media activity, they have generated the need for many people around the world to try their delicacies.

In addition, in 2017 they won the award for the Best Ensaïmada in the World, their specialty along with puff pastry.

Trying their creations is well worth a trip to the heart of the island.

Fornet de la Soca

The success of Fornet de la Soca has been surprising and, unlike the rest of the establishments mentioned, it is not a century-old bakery, but opened its doors in 2011.

More than a bakery, they practice local gastronomic archaeology: first-class products and ancient Mallorcan recipes that Tomeu Arbona and his team recover for the delight of all their diners.

Commitment to Mallorcan culture and identity, health and land and, of course, local gastronomy.

Fornet de la Soca is one of the preferred options for both locals and visitors for its great variety of products. All of them are delicious.

Let yourselves be conquered by these Mallorcan delicacies and let your stomach decide.
