A Maltese-run restaurant in Mallorca has been prominently featured by Condé Nast Traveller, earning a place in the prestigious travel publication’s guide to one of the island’s must-visit destinations.Mercat Tramuntana, the café and deli opened by Maltese couple Lexy Muscat and Daniel Scicluna, has been featured by Condé Nast Traveller in its latest guide to the Puigpunyent Valley, a lesser-known corner of Mallorca that the publication describes as one of the island’s smartest bases for travellers.In the article, Condé Nast Traveller recommends Mercat Tramuntana as a go-to dining spot in the area, describing it as a relaxed all-day café that “wouldn’t look out of place in East London”.The publication praised the venue’s coffee, brunch offerings and welcoming atmosphere, highlighting everything from flat whites and granola bowls to avocado toast, pizzas and handmade pasta.It also singled out Mercat’s carefully curated selection of products, noting that locals regularly stop by to browse its shelves throughout the day.The recognition marks another milestone for the Maltese-owned business, which opened its doors in Mallorca in 2024 after Lexy and Daniel relocated to the Spanish island to pursue their dream project.As Lovin Malta previously reported, the couple launched Mercat Tramuntana with a focus on local and sustainably sourced food and drink, creating a family-friendly community hub nestled beneath Mallorca’s stunning Serra de Tramuntana mountains.Now, with a mention in Condé Nast Traveller, their vision is receiving international recognition from one of the travel industry’s most respected names.If you’re in Mallorca, would you stop by for a coffee and brunch?•
