Can I find food or drinks onboard the train between Palma and Soller?

Locals tend to bring their own snacks when taking the historic train from Palma to Soller, as dining services onboard are quite limited. The charming narrow-gauge train, known for its scenic route through the Serra de Tramuntana along the Ma-11, offers a relaxed way to travel but doesn’t usually include a café or dining car. It’s common to pack some local treats, such as ensaimadas or a sandwich with sobrassada and pa amb oli, to enjoy during the roughly one-hour journey. Water or soft drinks are a good idea too, as the train stops only briefly in quaint mountain villages, where restaurants aren’t easily accessible from the station.

If you’re looking for a proper meal, the best bet is to explore Palma before boarding or indulge once you arrive in Soller. The picturesque town is dotted with cafés and eateries where you can try regional specialties alongside a glass of Binissalem wine or sip Hierbas to unwind. Also, local buses and taxis provide easy access from Soller station to nearby dining spots if you want to stretch your legs before heading back. While the train itself focuses on the experience of the journey and the dramatic landscapes rather than in-transit dining, bring something tasty with you and enjoy the views from your seat.
