Where to eat at and around L'Avenida Hotel
L'Avenida has no dinner service. The bistro serves breakfast, then lunch from noon to 3pm by the pool or in the bar, with pa amb oli on the menu at any hour, and after that the evenings belong to Sóller. That suits the address: everything below is within five minutes on foot, round the square and along Gran Via. For the sea, the wooden tram runs to Port de Sóller from the stop in front of the station, five minutes away, or from the market stop, four: 10 euros each way, tickets on board, hourly from 8am and every half hour from 11am to 7.30pm. The last tram back from the port leaves at 9.05pm, so a port dinner is an early one or a taxi home.

Bib Gourmand Mallorcan tasting menus · €€
Two hundred metres up the same street, in a Mallorcan house with stone floors, high ceilings and a back patio over the orange groves, and a Bib Gourmand in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide. Owner-chef Kiko Martorell cooks Mallorcan food on short menus that change every week or two: a lunch menu at 25 euros from Tuesday to Saturday, a tasting menu at 47.50 for lunch and dinner on the same days, and a longer evening menu, Entre Mar i Serra, at 87.50, which has to be booked ahead. The house's signature is a seafood rice with Sóller red prawn. Closed on Monday.

Pintxo bar with island produce · €€
A pintxo bar by the church, open since 2011, that cooks small plates from Balearic produce only: fish from Sóller's own fishermen, porc negre, Menorcan beef, rice from Sa Pobla and herbs from its own garden in the port. The 2026 menu takes in its bravas at 12 euros and squid with homemade noodles at 21, with a Sóller lemon semifreddo to finish. Lunch and dinner from Monday to Friday, dinner only on Sunday, closed on Saturday, which makes it one of the few good tables open on a Sunday or Monday night.

4 min walkPaella in an old cart workshop · €€
The workshop of Sóller's first carter, founded in 1914 and turned into a restaurant by his son in 1962, with the old tools kept on the walls and the founder's great-grandson now running it. It cooks traditional Mallorcan and Mediterranean dishes, but the paella is what people come for, mixed with seafood or black with squid ink. Lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, lunch only on Sunday, closed on Monday. Book for Saturday, when the weekly market fills the town.

Seasonal cooking on a terrace · €€€
Joan Alemany Frau's restaurant in the Hotel Cal Bisbe, with a large terrace and a wide view, from a chef who started in Sóller's kitchens and came through El Celler de Can Roca, Es Racó d'es Teix and the Belmond La Residencia. The menu is short and built on the island: a carpaccio of Sóller red prawn at 28 euros, a Mediterranean fish soup, and a dry rice for two cooked in the tin with red mullet and mussels at 56. Lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, closed on Sunday and Monday.

Café and kitchen on the main square · €€
A café on the main square that bakes its own bread and pastries, homemade doughnuts and tarts included, and pours arabica coffee from 8am. Go for a second coffee after the hotel's breakfast, or for a long lunch of tapas and fresh pasta at a table on the square. It is open from 8am to 11pm every day except Tuesday, when it closes at 5.30pm, so it is also one of the few kitchens running late on a Sunday or Monday night.

Ice cream from the valley's oranges · €
Sóller has made its own ice cream here since 1994, as Gelat Sóller, from fresh Mallorcan milk and juice from the valley's orchards, and the shop by the covered market has a shaded courtyard to eat it in. Order the orange sorbet, or the ice cream made from canoneta oranges, the valley's own variety, and the almond with salt flower. More than 40 flavours, open every day, and a second shop on the port front where the tram runs past.

Ensaïmada bakery, since 1910 · €
The Sóller shop of the Palma bakery founded in 1910, whose ensaïmadas are known well beyond the island, on the shopping street that runs up from the square. Buy one plain, the ensaïmada lisa, to eat as you walk, or filled with cabell d'àngel, the candied pumpkin strands that are the classic filling, or with burnt cream for something richer. Open every day.

Breakfast
Breakfast is served every morning in the courtyard garden by the pool: a buffet made with local produce, with hot dishes cooked to order from a menu of eggs every way, omelettes with the fillings you choose, eggs Benedict, French toast, crêpes and a full cooked plate the house calls the Especial L'Avenida, plus juices and oat, almond or soya milk for the coffee. Whether it is in your rate depends on the rate, so check yours; every rate on sale for May 2027 included it. Breakfast hours are not published, so ask at check-in. For a second coffee or a pastry later, Café Sóller on the square bakes its own from 8am, four minutes away, and Horno Santo Cristo sells ensaïmadas five minutes away.

Our verdict
L'Avenida earns its place by putting you inside Sóller: a small, adults-only house with a pool, people who know where to book dinner, and the tram and the mountains within walking distance. Pay for a Luxury Suite, come between March and October, and pack for the stairs.
