Clean eating is the order of the day at Botànic, where the focus is on fresh, plant-forward dishes that delight the senses. Set in the enchanting Can Bordoy Grand House and Garden, this Palma-based restaurant offers a unique dining experience that combines health and indulgence. Chef Andrés Benítez crafts vibrant, innovative dishes using local ingredients, drawing inspiration from Asia, the Middle East and Mexico.

The 30-plant challenge has been gaining momentum since Professor Tim Spector of Kings College London cited research on his nutrition website, Zoe, finding that eating 30 different plant foods a week benefits the gut microbiome. Mallorcan chef Andrés Benitez was ahead of his time, four years ago, when he launched his plant-based menu at Botànic, the restaurant at Palma’s 5-star Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden.

If you’re looking for the best fine-dining restaurant in Mallorca, look no further than Restaurant Botànic. Located in the heart of Palma de Mallorca, this modern, sophisticated eatery is sure to impress with its unique menu and elegant atmosphere. With a focus on local and seasonal ingredients, the chefs at Restaurant Botànic strive to create a unique and memorable dining experience.

With the slogan ‘Green is the new sexy’, Botànic (Calle Forn de la Gloria, 14), located in the old town, has one of the most exciting plant-forward or flexitarian takes on haute cuisine. Its dishes are inspired by travel, and love for the land, vegetables, and local and seasonal products. There is a tasting menu, as well as an á la carte menu that varies throughout the year.

There are too many hidden restaurant delights in Palma to mention, from the scallops at Mambo to the Iberian pork at De Tokio A Lima, but one place we found particularly inviting was Botanic. Sat outside in the stylish, lush garden, we were presented with a cocktail list and a plant-forward menu titled 'Green is the New Sexy'.

The first one was at Restaurant Botanic, a modern, vegetable-forward restaurant in a nice, modern hotel. The outdoor seating in the back was beautiful and we liked some of the food, while some was okay but perhaps forgettable. Another lunch we had was at Vandal, a popular upscale tapas place in Santa Catalina.

The largest private garden in the city center is the romantic location of Botànic Restaurant. The chef, Andrés Benítez, is committed to quality local products to create his concept of healthy and honest haute cuisine. Make sure you book at Botànic, where time stands still!

We found Restaurant Botànic literally steps away from Sadrassana. Remarkably, as we didn’t expect to find noteworthy venues so close to the cathedral. They had us at their tag line: #GreenIsTheNewSexy.
