Creative Mallorcan plates with standout bravas and engaged service in a striking old-station setting, but portions run small and waits can spike at peak times.
Why it gets an A- for overall quality
Andana delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional food quality anchored by celebrated bravas, octopus, and croquettes, paired with distinctive historic station charm and knowledgeable servers who guide diners well. However, quality variation during peak service and slower course pacing at capacity prevent grade A territory. Competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants for produce-driven Mallorcan dining.
Restaurant Summary
Housed in an old station by Plaça d'Espanya, Andana feels warm and contemporary rather than formal. Servers are often praised for guiding orders and pacing the meal; one diner noted, "our waiter mapped the menu and nailed the portions." Expect a lively central-city vibe and a room that shows off its historic bones. The cooking leans produce-driven Mallorcan with modern touches: patatas bravas that fans call best-in-island, octopus Trempó, garden-forward plates from their own produce, and rich cannelloni. Flavors are clean and confident, not theatrical. It suits diners who enjoy sharing several small-to-mid plates; some find portions modest, and peak times can slow the pacing. Families do fine here: kids often enjoy croquettes and bravas, and desserts like flan or ice creams are easy wins. There is no explicit kids menu, but simple sides and mild starters help. Portions are on the smaller side, so plan to order a couple of extra plates for hungry teens.
