Mallorquin specialties include products sourced from the island, including oranges, lemons, almonds, olive oil and seafood (prawns, in particular). In most restaurants, you should not need a reservation for lunch, which is generally served from 1 P.M. until 3. At the more popular restaurants, you should reserve for dinner. Although many restaurants are open for dinner at 8:30, don’t book for earlier than 9:30—as is true throughout Spain, restaurants typically don’t start filling up until 10.
