Creative modern tapas with natural wines in Palma Old Town; excellent flavors but slow, sometimes brusque service and small pricey portions—book ahead and come prepared to linger.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
La Infame delivers exceptional food quality with creative modern Mallorcan tapas and a thoughtful natural wine program, positioning it competitively among Palma's neighborhood dining scene. However, inconsistent execution—ranging from oversalted dishes to uneven service pacing—and occasional brusque service on busy nights prevent grade A territory. The charming Old Town terrace and wine-led grazing experience appeal to adventurous diners willing to embrace a slower, chef-driven cadence.
Restaurant Summary
Tucked into Palma Old Town, La Infame feels like a small wine bar that grew up to cook boldly flavored plates. A guest summed it up as "bursts of flavor in a cozy room," with natural wines, a chalkboard menu, and staff who can be warm and guiding. The vibe is intimate and lively; expect to linger as dishes arrive in waves, and note that a few diners encountered brusque service on busy nights. The cooking leans modern Mallorcan with detours: patató with extra crunch, stuffed aubergine, zucchini carpaccio, tacos, and seafood like squid or ceviche. It is creative small-plate cooking where brighter acidity and spice show up more than heavy sauces. Ideal for those who enjoy wine-led grazing and do not mind a slower, chef-driven cadence. Families are welcomed by friendly servers at many visits, but the menu favors adult palates and small portions. Kids who enjoy simple bites might go for patató, chicken tacos, or burrata salad when available; there is no kids menu and pacing can test shorter attention spans.
