Palma de Mallorca, a city rich in history and gastronomic delights, boasts a culinary landmark that is as architecturally captivating as it is delicious: Forn des Teatre. This photograph captures the charming facade of this beloved establishment, inviting you into a world where tradition meets Modernist elegance.
Originally established in the 19th century, Forn des Teatre underwent a significant transformation in 1916, when its facade was beautifully reformed in the prevailing Modernist (Art Nouveau) style of the era. This update gave the bakery its distinctive character, blending classic Mallorcan stone with intricate details that speak to a vibrant artistic past. The warm stone of the building, with its elegant balcony and traditional windows, is crowned by a balustraded rooftop, all bathed in the clear Mallorcan light. The prominent sign, “Forn des Teatre,” in classic gold lettering, stands out against the dark wood of the entrance, hinting at the treasures within.
Forn des Teatre is famous for its ensaimadas, a spiral-shaped pastry emblematic of Mallorca, available in traditional plain or delightfully filled variations such as ‘cabello de ángel’ (pumpkin jam), cream, apricot, or chocolate. Beyond ensaimadas, the bakery offers a rich selection of local delights, including sobrassadas from Montuïri, savory empanadas, cocarrois, and a wide variety of other traditional pastries. For those seeking a more adult indulgence, a selection of traditional Mallorcan liqueurs, like Hierbas, can also be found on its shelves.
Since 2008, the iconic bakery has expanded, annexing a charming café that provides a broader menu of local and national dishes and wines. Whether you choose to enjoy your treats in its rustic interior or on its wonderful terrace, Forn des Teatre remains an essential stop for anyone wishing to taste the authentic flavours and experience the enduring charm of Palma.
