La Bellota

5.00 rating is rare at PMI, and La Bellota has it.

La Bellota sits airside in Terminal T, so you’re covered after security and don’t have to double back toward check-in. It runs through the main flight banks, opening early enough for morning departures and staying open into the late evening wave of UK and German flights. If your gate is in the Schengen section of T, you’re usually within a 5–10 minute walk.

Pricing lands squarely in airport territory but not outrageous for Palma: think around €4–5 for coffee and pastry, and €10–18 for a plate of jamón, tortilla, or sandwiches. You pay a bit more than in city tapas bars, but you’re trading that for a table, Wi‑Fi, and not eating a sad triangle sandwich from a fridge near Gate C.

The name gives away the focus: jamón and other ibérico pork dishes tend to be the safest order here, and several reviewers mention cured meats and cheese plates as the reason they stop. If you want something quick before a 2–3 hour hop to Germany or the UK, a ración of jamón with bread and tomato plus a drink usually keeps the bill under €25 per person.

Service pace matches typical Spanish timing, so don’t sit down here 20 minutes before a 12:05 departure and expect miracles. Give it at least 40–50 minutes if you’re ordering hot food, especially during the noon–15:00 and 18:00–21:00 peaks when T gets crowded with package-holiday traffic. Bar service for coffee, beer, or wine is faster than the full seated section.

Practical tip: check your exact gate on the PMI screens before you order, then sit on the side of La Bellota facing your letter zone (A, B, C, or D); that saves you a last‑minute 8–10 minute sprint across Terminal T when boarding for your flight finally pops up.
