Zaranda

Zaranda is a Michelin-starred restaurant currently located within the Hotel Es Princep in Palma de Mallorca, led by Chef Fernando P. Arellano — a chef who has built a reputation for technically ambitious, conceptually daring haute cuisine that pushes consistently at the boundaries of what Mediterranean fine dining can be. The restaurant has moved locations over the years but has maintained its Michelin recognition and its identity as one of the most demanding and inventive kitchens on the island. Arellano’s tasting menus are structured around the finest seasonal Mallorcan and Balearic ingredients, treated with avant-garde techniques and a conceptual approach that makes each dish a statement as well as a pleasure. Dishes are visually striking and technically complex, demonstrating the full range of contemporary culinary tools in service of compositions that are always purposeful and deeply considered. The experience is not for passive diners — Zaranda rewards guests who bring curiosity, engagement, and a willingness to encounter something genuinely unexpected and challenging. The Hotel Es Princep provides an elegant and luxurious setting that complements the ambition of the cooking. Service is highly professional and attentive. The wine program is outstanding, with a cellar that reflects the same standards of quality and thoughtfulness as the kitchen. For gastronomes visiting Mallorca who seek the most technically challenging and intellectually stimulating fine dining experience on the island, Zaranda remains an essential destination.
