Nus — Restaurant in Palma

Nus is the Japanese-Andalusian taberna of chef Irene Martínez, born and raised in Palma but with roots in Jaén. She learned to cook from her Andalusian grandmother, then ran the kitchen of DINS Santi Taura for five years, did a season at David Muñoz's three-star DiverXO in Madrid, and worked with Tomeu Martí at Arume. With Nus she made her own thing: a restaurant in the lively barrio of Santa Catalina where Japanese precision and southern Spanish soul go hand in hand. Small and intimate, with an open kitchen where you can watch Irene cook; afterwards she often comes round the tables herself. The menu is compact but changes constantly with the seasons and her creativity. There are regular "saraos": spontaneous parties with live music, just because life deserves it. Booking strongly recommended. The wine list is extensive, with a good focus on Mallorcan wines.
