Vegetarian and vegan food in Colònia de Sant Jordi

We’ll be honest: Colònia de Sant Jordi is a small coastal village, so don’t expect a street full of vegan restaurants. The good news is that eating vegetarian — and, with care, vegan — is easy, because much of Mallorcan cooking is garden-based. Here we’ll tell you what to order, what to watch for and how to make the most of the apartment kitchen.

Mallorcan dishes that are already veg

Much of the island’s cooking is garden-based. Naturally vegetarian (and often vegan) are tumbet (potato, aubergine and pepper with tomato), trampó and coca de trampó, salads, seasonal vegetables and a vegetable rice. And pa amb oli without sausage — just bread, oil and tomato — is a perfect starter.

Vegan: what to watch for

For vegan, mind the unseen: sobrassada and cheese slip into many dishes, arròs brut has meat, and the ensaïmada is made with saïm (lard), so it isn’t vegan. Pa amb oli is vegan if you order it without cheese or sausage. When in doubt, ask: small kitchens will usually put together a vegetable dish for you without any fuss.

Where to eat

More specifically: in Colònia, Salicornia (facing the port) is the safest bet, with proper vegetarian and vegan options alongside rice dishes and seasonal salads. El Suricata (right on the seafront) does a vegan burger and gluten-free bread, plus breakfasts with fruit and toast. On almost any menu you’ll find trampó, grilled vegetables, pa amb oli without cured meat and some vegetable rice; you just have to ask for options without meat or fish (and, if you’re vegan, without dairy or egg). For more specific variety, slightly bigger towns like Santanyí or Palma itself widen the choice. The full list is in our restaurant guide.

Self-catering: market and supermarket

This is where you win: with the apartment kitchen you eat vegetarian or vegan exactly how you like. The market and the village supermarkets have seasonal fruit and veg, pulses, good oil, bread and basic vegan options. A good tumbet or some grilled vegetables on your terrace beats a restaurant.

Have breakfast at home (fruit, toast with tomato and oil), take something for the beach and save dinners for trying local veg dishes. With this approach, eating veg in south Mallorca is easy and delicious. See also the typical dishes guide.
