How many Michelin-starred restaurants are there in the Balearics in 2026?

In the Balearics, the 2026 Michelin Guide (unveiled at the gala on 25 November 2025) recognises 13 starred restaurants: a single two-star table, Voro, and twelve one-star restaurants. All are concentrated on two islands. Mallorca claims ten (Voro plus nine one-star tables) and Ibiza three. Menorca and Formentera have no stars at all this year, only addresses "recommended" by the guide. A slight step back from the 2025 edition and its 15 starred restaurants: two Ibiza tables dropped off the list. Here is the full picture, island by island.

What is the Balearics' only two-star table in 2026?

It is Voro, in Canyamel, on the north-east coast of Mallorca, inside the Cap Vermell Grand Hotel. Andalusian chef Alvaro Salazar has held the two stars there for several years and remains, season after season, the name that comes up whenever a possible third star for the archipelago is discussed. His cooking, Mediterranean in spirit but without borders, plays on local produce and precise sauces. It is by far the most decorated address in the islands today.

Voro, Canyamel (Mallorca)

Which are Mallorca's one-star restaurants?

Mallorca is the archipelago's true culinary heartland, with nine one-star tables on top of Voro. You will find both established names and a fine wave of young chefs. In Palma, Marc Fosh runs his bright Mediterranean-cuisine restaurant; DINS Santi Taura champions a Mallorcan cuisine of memory, anchored in the island's recipes; and Zaranda, Fernando Perez Arellano's table, shines at Hotel Es Princep.

Around the capital and across the rest of the island, the field is dense. Andreu Genestra left Capdepera in June 2023 to move to Llucmajor, at the Zoetry Mallorca: his table keeps both its culinary star and its green star there. Bens d'Avall, perched above the sea in Soller, remains a family affair (the Vicens family), also holding a green star. Maca de Castro embodies the north of the island's cuisine in Port d'Alcudia, Es Fum (chef Miguel Navarro) shines at the St. Regis Mardavall in Palmanova, Sa Clastra (Jordi Canto) reworks Mallorcan heritage at Castell Son Claret in Es Capdella, and Fusion19 (Aleix Serra and Marc Marsol) blends island traditions with Asian touches in Muro. Enough to trace a genuine food route across the length of Mallorca.

And in Ibiza, how many stars in 2026?

Ibiza keeps three one-star restaurants in 2026, all renewed: La Gaia, chef Oscar Molina's table at the Ibiza Gran Hotel, which draws the best from Ibizan produce, the sea and the vegetable garden; Omakase by Walt, a sharp Japanese-cuisine address led by chef Walter Sidoravicius; and Unic, in Sant Josep de sa Talaia, which keeps its star for this edition. Worth noting: Unic has not dropped off the list, contrary to what is sometimes reported.

Also worth knowing: Sublimotion, the spectacular experience at the Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza, often comes up in conversation, but it does not appear among the Michelin-starred tables, having no official distinction. Do not file it under this category.

Why has the star count dropped compared with 2025?

The archipelago goes from 15 starred restaurants in 2025 to 13 in 2026, and the drop comes entirely from Ibiza. Two tables left the list. Etxeko Ibiza by Martin Berasategui has closed. And Es Tragon is mid-transition: after its historic Sant Antoni address closed in 2025, the restaurant is reportedly relocating for 2026 to the Insotel Fenicia Prestige Suites & Spa, near Santa Eularia, with a reopening date still to be confirmed as of summer 2026. Until that move is confirmed and dated, caution is warranted: it is not counted among the active starred restaurants here. This has nothing to do with a decline in island quality, mostly a story of closures and premises on the move.

Are Menorca and Formentera really without a star?

Yes, and this point should not be confused. In 2026, neither Menorca nor Formentera has a single starred restaurant. The Michelin Guide does list "recommended" restaurants there, though, a mention that praises the quality and interest of an address without awarding it a star. In Formentera, several tables appear in the guide under this selection, alongside a handful of recommended Ibizan addresses. This is real recognition, but a different one: a recommended restaurant is not a starred restaurant, and presenting it as such would be a mistake. If you explore these two islands for the food, you will often eat very well, simply not in a strictly starred setting.

Star, green star, recommended: how do you tell them apart?

Three distinctions coexist in the guide, and they do not mean the same thing. The culinary star (one, two or three) rewards the quality of what is on the plate. The green star separately recognises a strong commitment to sustainability and responsible gastronomy: in the Balearics, it is held notably by Andreu Genestra and Bens d'Avall, who therefore combine a culinary star and a green star. Finally, the "recommended" status flags a good address spotted by the inspectors, without a star. Keeping these three levels in mind saves a lot of confusion when comparing two restaurants.

How do you book and make the most of a starred table in the Balearics?

A few practical habits beat a long speech. Book early: these dining rooms are small and fill up weeks ahead, especially from June to September. Check the opening season, since several addresses are attached to seasonal hotels and close over winter. Budget for tasting menus, often the format on offer, and flag any allergies or dietary needs when booking. Finally, keep the geography in mind: in Mallorca, the stars are spread between Palma, the north coast and the Serra, which invites combining a table with a walk.
