Restaurant in es Secar de la Real, Spain
Chef-driven Mallorcan cooking, no tourist markup.
A Michelin Plate restaurant in a quiet residential corner of Palma de Mallorca, Óseo delivers personal, seasonal Mediterranean-Mallorcan cooking at €€ pricing that is difficult to match on the island. The tasting menu is the way to go, and returning guests can request an entirely new menu. Book for a serious dinner for two rather than a group night out.
Óseo is worth booking if you want a personal, chef-driven Mediterranean menu in a residential corner of Palma de Mallorca that most visitors never find. At €€ pricing with a Michelin Plate (2025), the value-to-quality ratio here is hard to match on the island. Book it for a quiet dinner with a companion who cares about what they eat, not for a loud group night out.
You are not going to stumble across Óseo. It sits on a small square in a residential neighbourhood north of Palma's old city, the kind of address where delivery bikes outnumber tourists. That deliberate remove from the waterfront restaurant circuit is the first signal that this is a place running on its own terms.
The format is a short, seasonal menu anchored to Mediterranean and Mallorcan produce, supplemented by the Óseo tasting menu for those who want the full picture. The kitchen is led by a young chef whose cooking takes Mallorcan ingredients as a starting point rather than a costume. Lamb, smoked aubergine, and sheep's milk appear together in a combination that has drawn attention precisely because it reads as specific rather than generic Mediterranean. These are not decorative local references; they are the actual logic of the dish.
The Michelin Plate recognition in 2025 places Óseo in a tier of restaurants that cook well without the ceremony of a starred room. For diners who find full tasting-menu restaurants effortful, Óseo offers something more direct: a small menu with real intention behind it, priced accessibly.
Editorial spine of Óseo is seasonal rotation. The kitchen builds its menu around what Mallorca's produce calendar is actually doing, which means the menu you eat in spring is structurally different from the one available in autumn. The lamb and smoked aubergine combination that has drawn critical attention is not guaranteed to be on the menu when you arrive; it appears when the kitchen judges the ingredients are ready.
This has a direct practical implication: if you read about a specific dish and want to eat it, contact the restaurant before you book to confirm it is currently on the menu. Do not assume written references to dishes are current. Seasonal menus at this level of specificity move faster than most online reviews.
There is also a meaningful upside to this model. Óseo has a standing offer for returning guests: if you have already eaten the tasting menu and want to come back, tell them in advance and they will build a different menu with new dishes. This is genuinely useful if you are spending more than a week in Palma. It transforms a second visit from repetition into a new experience, and it signals a kitchen that is producing more material than any single service can show.
For food-focused travellers visiting Mallorca in summer, Óseo fills a gap that is harder to fill on the island: serious cooking at a price that does not require a celebration budget. Most of the island's destination dining skews toward beachfront settings and tourist-adjacent pricing. Óseo is neither.
Booking is listed as easy, which makes sense for a small room in a non-tourist neighbourhood. That said, small rooms fill on their own terms. If you have a specific date in mind during peak summer season, book ahead rather than assuming availability. The address at Plaça Pare Antoni Ramon Pasqual, 9 in es Secar de la Real is direct to reach by car or taxi from central Palma.
Pricing sits at €€, which in the Palma restaurant context means you are paying meaningfully less than the island's marquee dining rooms while getting cooking that has earned independent recognition. This is not a budget compromise; it is a different category of restaurant where the money goes to ingredients and craft rather than room design and table theatre.
Hours, phone, and website are not confirmed in our current data. Contact the restaurant directly through available channels before visiting to confirm current service times and reservation availability.

Google rating: 4.9 from 103 reviews. For a small, non-tourist-facing restaurant in a residential neighbourhood, a 4.9 across that volume of reviews suggests the kitchen is consistently delivering on its promise rather than coasting on novelty visits. Michelin Plate recognition (2025) adds independent verification that the cooking merits the attention.
Book Óseo if you are a food-focused traveller in Palma who wants cooking with a clear point of view at a price that does not anchor the entire trip budget. It works well for two people who eat seriously and want a dinner that gives them something to talk about. It is less suited to groups wanting a social occasion with flexible ordering, or to anyone who needs a reliably fixed menu rather than a seasonal one.
If the tasting menu format and the seasonal commitment to Mallorcan produce are what you are after, Óseo is the clearest answer in this part of Palma. For broader context on where it sits in the local dining picture, see our full es Secar de la Real restaurants guide. You can also explore hotels, bars, wineries, and experiences in the area to build out a full visit.
Yes, at €€ pricing with a Michelin Plate and a 4.9 Google rating from over 100 reviews, Óseo offers serious cooking at a price point that is rare on Mallorca. Compare it to the island's €€€€ destination restaurants and the value gap is clear. If you want comparable ambition at lower spend, this is the booking to make.
The Óseo tasting menu is the better choice over the short à la carte if you want to see what the kitchen can do with seasonal Mallorcan produce. The menu is built around specific ingredient combinations rather than crowd-pleasing standards. The standout detail: if you return after having already done the tasting menu, the kitchen will build a different one for you on request. That flexibility makes it worth ordering on a first visit rather than holding back.
Yes, with conditions. Óseo works well for a quiet, food-focused celebration for two. The personal, chef-driven format and the Michelin Plate recognition give it the right credentials. It is less suited as a special occasion venue if your group is large, if you need a fixed menu you can preview in advance, or if the occasion calls for a grand room and formal service.
Specific seat count and group booking policy are not confirmed in our current data. Given the venue is a small, chef-driven room in a residential neighbourhood, large group bookings are unlikely to be the format it is built for. Contact the restaurant directly to ask about group capacity before planning an event. For a dinner of two to four people, availability is likely more flexible.
Bar seating details are not confirmed in our data. Given the Mediterranean-Mallorcan format and the small, personal scale of the restaurant, bar dining may not be a feature. Contact the venue directly to confirm seating options before arriving and expecting counter service.
Specific dietary accommodation policy is not confirmed in our data. For a seasonal tasting menu kitchen, dietary restrictions are leading communicated clearly at the time of booking rather than on the night. Contact the restaurant in advance. The seasonal, produce-led format means menus shift regularly, which may offer some natural flexibility, but do not assume.
Óseo is the clearest answer in this specific neighbourhood for serious Mediterranean cooking at €€ pricing. For a broader view of what is available, see our full es Secar de la Real restaurants guide. If you are open to travelling further within Spain for comparable or higher-level cooking, Quique Dacosta in Dénia and El Celler de Can Roca in Girona represent the leading of the Mediterranean-Spanish register, at significantly higher price and booking difficulty.

| Óseo | Mediterranean Cuisine | Located in a residential area in the north of Palma de Mallorca, this is one of those places that won't leave you indifferent, as its young chef seeks to surprise us with a modern and personal project, with a Mediterranean-Mallorcan base that showcases seasonal products. Its small menu (we particularly liked the combination of lamb, smoked aubergine and sheep's milk) is complemented by the Óseo menu, which enhances the experience. Something that sets them apart?

How Óseo stacks up against the competition.
Óseo is a small room in a residential neighbourhood north of Palma, so large groups are likely a poor fit. Parties of two to four are the practical sweet spot for a chef-driven menu at this scale. If you are planning a group visit, contact them well in advance — the kitchen's ability to prepare an entirely different menu for returning guests suggests genuine flexibility, but capacity is the real constraint here.
There is no bar seating documented for Óseo. This is a sit-down, menu-led restaurant, not a drop-in counter format. Given the small room and the kitchen's focus on its seasonal tasting menu, plan to book a table rather than arriving and hoping for a bar seat.
No specific dietary accommodation policy is listed in available information about Óseo. That said, a kitchen willing to compose an entirely new tasting menu for returning guests — a policy they explicitly advertise — signals genuine culinary flexibility. Contact them directly before booking if you have specific requirements; the personalised approach suggests they are more likely than most to engage seriously with restrictions.
Yes, with the right expectations. The €€ price range and Michelin Plate recognition (2025) make it a credible special-occasion choice without the financial pressure of Palma's higher-end rooms. The location — a quiet residential square, not a tourist strip — works in your favour for an intimate dinner. This is a better fit for food-focused occasions than for guests who need a flashy setting to feel the event.
At €€ pricing with a Michelin Plate for 2025, the Óseo menu represents genuine value for a personalised, seasonal tasting format in Mallorca. The kitchen's willingness to prepare a different menu for guests who have already done the standard one is a concrete differentiator — not a marketing claim. If you want a set menu with a clear culinary point of view, this format earns its price. If you prefer ordering à la carte with full flexibility, this is not the right room.
There are no other documented restaurants in es Secar de la Real to compare directly. Within Palma more broadly, alternatives depend on what you are optimising for: more budget brings you into the city's casual tapas circuit, while stepping up in price and formality moves you toward Palma's established fine-dining addresses. Óseo occupies a specific gap — chef-driven seasonal cooking at a price that does not require a special budget.
Yes. A Michelin Plate at €€ pricing is a strong value signal in any European city, and Palma is no exception. You are getting a seasonal, personally constructed menu in a non-tourist neighbourhood, which means the kitchen is cooking for guests who came deliberately rather than passing trade. For food-focused travellers, that combination of recognition, price, and intentionality is hard to beat in Mallorca at this price point.
