Summer in Palma alters the rhythm of the city and transforms how we experience gastronomy. Lunches stretch out, dinners start later, and lighter, more balanced dishes become far more appealing. At Ca n’Eduardo, this approach to Mediterranean cuisine has been woven into the fabric of Palma’s history for over 80 years.
Mediterranean cuisine made for summer
During the warmer months, we naturally crave dishes that are packed with flavour without feeling heavy. This is why Mediterranean cuisine truly comes into its own during the summer. Fresh fish, seafood, and rice dishes offer the perfect way to enjoy a complete meal in comfort.
At Ca n’Eduardo, our menu is meticulously designed to strike that exact balance. Oven-baked sea bass, seafood rice, or fresh prawns are dishes that perfectly complement a summer meal by the sea.
Situated above the old fish market (sa lloja des peix), overlooking the harbour with direct views of the Cathedral and the bay, the restaurant maintains an unbreakable bond with the sea and local product. This unique location, right in the heart of Palma’s maritime district, has shaped Ca n’Eduardo’s identity since 1943.
Our culinary offering preserves its traditional essence while embracing a contemporary vision, courtesy of chef Pedro Mesquida. The aim is not to reinvent Mediterranean cuisine, but to respect it, adapting it to what diners look for today: premium fresh product, beautifully prepared dishes, and a relaxed, welcoming experience.

The value of fresh product
To speak of Ca n’Eduardo is to speak of market-fresh fish. The restaurant’s connection to the sea is deeply rooted in its history and remains one of its greatest strengths.
Each season brings different product to the fore, a natural rhythm that is beautifully reflected in our menu. Throughout the summer, many guests specifically look for fresher, more natural dishes where the ingredients themselves take centre stage, free from overly complex preparation.
This is why we continue to focus on a cuisine centred around fresh fish, seafood, and Mediterranean-inspired rice dishes. It is a concept that appeals equally to visitors discovering Palma for the first time and to local residents who have trusted this classic establishment for generations.
Dining by the harbour is part of the experience
In summer, the surroundings shape how a meal is savoured. Dining by Palma’s harbour, watching the boats glide by as the evening light settles over the bay, completely transforms the atmosphere.
The terrace at Ca n’Eduardo becomes one of the most sought-after spots at this time of year. Perched above the fish market and facing the harbour, it offers one of the most iconic views of Palma, with the Cathedral always gracing the horizon.
Many guests take advantage of these long summer days to share a selection of dishes, enjoy a rice dish by the water, or simply unwind after a stroll through the historic centre or a day out sailing.
Furthermore, the restaurant’s all-day kitchen service makes it effortless to adapt to the relaxed summer pace—a particular convenience for those who prefer more flexible dining hours.
Tradition, balance and authenticity
With more than 80 years of history and tradition in Palma, Ca n’Eduardo maintains a crystal-clear identity: authentic Mediterranean cuisine, exceptional fresh product, and a location intimately tied to the sea and the city’s heritage.
That combination is precisely what so many look for during the summer months: a restaurant where guests can savour fresh fish, seafood, and Mediterranean rice dishes in a delightful atmosphere, without any rush, enjoying a culinary experience that perfectly balances tradition and modernity.
