Seasonality, local products, austerity, harmony with nature, gratitude are values that have inspired our relationship with nature from time immemorial. At Forn de la Llotgeta we believe that traditional food cultures are a great source of knowledge to help us address major sustainability challenges, including the way we experiment our travel experiences. We collaborate with small producers & farmers to bridge your culinary experience with the most genuine artisanal food production of Mallorca. You will not only enjoy the taste of their passionate and hard work but also have the opportunity to take with you the ingredients and materials used during the workshop for you to replicate the recipes and bring home the authentic taste of Mallorca.

We want to invite you to connect in a deep, sincere and intimate way with our traditional culture to honor local food, producers and artisans who work with love and respect for this island.

Note: Every Sunday and Afternoon the market is closed.

What to expect

Our cultural approach to cooking will allow you to explore Mallorca’s finest terroir, typical dishes and culinary traditions following family recipes and the island’s food calendar: from key seasonal ingredients to iconic products, all paired with organic wines and a sustainable food ethos. We collaborate with small producers and farmers to bridge your culinary experience with the most genuine artisanal food production of Mallorca. This experience allows for you to connect in a deep, sincere and immersive way with our culture and honor traditional local food. Located in the center of Palma, Mercado del Olivar is the largest typical market in the city. This stroll will allow you to delve in its vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere. We will go through its fruit, fish and other delicacies stall, meet the vendors and source some of the ingredients that we need for our meal. Once in my atelier, we will start a hands-on cooking workshop to prepare a complete Mallorcan seasonal menu together. All the ingredients are locally and sustainably sourced. Please advise of any dietary requirements, we will do our best to accommodate the course to your needs.
