🍽️Eat & Drink·Manacor
Es Cruce
Roadside canteen on the Palma–Manacor route where locals stop for homestyle Mallorcan cooking and a €1.40 coffee. Big portions, small bill, dining room loud with conversation. Open from 6:30am — my go-to when the drive east starts before the sun does.

Mallora’s take
Big portions, small bill — this is where locals eat on the Palma–Manacor road, not tourists. Food comes out fast and the dining room is loud; come for homestyle Mallorcan cooking and a €1.40 coffee, not a quiet lunch. Heads up: olives land on the table unrequested and show up on the bill.
Good to know
Closed Tuesdays. Expect a queue at peak lunch hours — no reservations, just wait your turn.
