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.

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!
