The English breakfast and fish and chips are very nice, the Filipino foods are delicious and they also have other national dishes. The atmosphere is relaxed with friendly stuff. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
I’m not a sailor. Nor am I Filipino. I’m a German who feels deeply connected to the maritime world – through my work, my passions, and a deep respect for those who live their lives at sea. A recent business trip brought me to Palma de Mallorca. I had planned to meet three maritime innovators for interviews, but two appointments were cancelled at the last minute. Suddenly, I found myself with unexpected time – like a vessel whose course had shifted, anchored yet adrift. I had deliberately chosen to stay near the harbor. Watching ships come and go has a strange, calming magic. There's a rhythm to port life that speaks to something deeper – movement, connection, purpose. And though I wasn’t boarding any ship, I felt a part of it all. And then, by sheer luck, I passed a place called Port Tambayan. I didn’t know what to expect – only that I was hungry and curious. “Tambayan,” I’ve since learned, is a Tagalog word for a place to gather, to unwind, to feel at home. And though I’m not Filipino, that’s exactly what this little restaurant offered: warmth, flavor, and the kind of hospitality that doesn’t need a shared passport to feel genuine. The sizzling sisig, the rich kare-kare, the comforting tapsilog – every dish told a story. I was a stranger, but I was fed like a friend. And if the Philippines are even half as welcoming as this place, then my longing has found a new destination. To all fellow travelers and seafarers: if your ship ever stops in Palma, treat yourself to the unexpected. The detour might just be the highlight. Fair winds – and may your next "stranding" be as delicious as mine.
Nice place and great food. The people also are so nice. Filipino hospitality at its best feels like home
This gets my filipino wife's stamp of approval as authentic filipino food and I concur. The only blemish is the service not super attentive at clearing plates!
I think it is really nice to have a taste of Philippines near you. This restaurant makes you feel home. Like a carenderia in the Philippines. ???????? Would definitely come back here.
The Pinoy food was the best out of all of the pinoy restaurants I’ve been to in my 23 Years of life I hope everyone that reads this comes down and be able to eat there amazing food ! Kain na Tayo!!!!
