Mallorca Insider: Mia Naprta on Summer Eating and Hidden Gems

This episode of the Majorca Mallorca Podcast welcomes back a favourite Mallorca Insider, Mia Naprta – local food journalist, writer for the Majorca Daily Bulletin, and all-round expert on where (and how) to eat on the island.

Recorded on a scorching summer’s day with the studio air-con bravely switched off, we chat about the season's big opening parties – from beach clubs in Magaluf to elegant hotel soirées in Santa Ponsa. Mia shares what it's like to be on the invite list for the island’s coolest summer events, from white parties to jewellery launches in Port Adriano.

We dive into her latest recommendations for eating out in Mallorca, from South African grills to authentic Balkan barbecue, local brunch spots, and surprisingly affordable late-night kiosks. Expect a lively, insider's guide to places both fancy and cheap-and-cheerful, with tips on where locals really go.

We also talk about the art (and etiquette) of booking restaurants in high season, how the island's food scene has become more international over the years, and where to find a perfect menu del día if you know where to look.

Join us for a warm, funny and delicious conversation that will make you hungry for your next Mallorca meal – whether it’s on a beachfront terrace or a 4am burger stop.
