Map ↗Booking a group dinner in Mallorca
- Tapas bars rarely take big bookings. For groups, book a restaurant with a private room or a set "menú de grupo".
- Dinner is late: 9 to 10:30 pm is normal. Lunch is the main meal, around 2 to 3:30 pm.
- Tipping: Not expected. Leaving small change or up to 5 to 10% for very good service is common.
- Book two to three months ahead for groups over 20, especially in high season (May to June, September to October).
- Ask about deposits, minimum spend and the cancellation policy in writing.
- Plan transport back to the hotels. Mountain roads in the Tramuntana are slow and busy with cyclists in spring.
