Few things capture the spirit of a Mallorca wedding quite like a long table, warm evening air, and beautifully prepared Mediterranean food shared with family and friends.
Mediterranean cuisine is made for celebration. It is vibrant, generous, and full of flavour, built around fresh ingredients, seafood, grilled meats, seasonal vegetables, and dishes designed to be enjoyed together. That is why it works so naturally for weddings across Mallorca’s fincas, vineyards, and coastal venues.
At Delicioso, wedding menus are designed to reflect both the couple’s personality and the relaxed elegance of island life. Whether couples choose an elegant seated dinner or a more informal sharing feast, the goal is always the same, creating an unforgettable experience through exceptional food.
Here is what a truly memorable Mediterranean wedding menu might look like.
The wedding celebration often begins with cocktails and canapés after the ceremony. This is the moment when guests relax, mingle, and enjoy the first tastes of the evening.
Mediterranean style canapés are designed to be light, flavourful, and easy to enjoy while standing with a drink in hand.
Popular options include:
Teriyaki glazed chicken skewers
Mini lamb burgers on brioche buns
Oriental duck pancakes with plum sauce
Crispy prawns with mango dip
Beef tartare on yuca and chilli cracker
Mozzarella, tomato and basil skewers
Tuna tartare with chilli cracker
Smoked salmon blinis with cream cheese and wasabi
Cold summer soups such as mango gazpacho or melon soup with crispy Serrano ham also add a refreshing Mediterranean touch.
For couples who want something extra special, live stations such as Iberico ham carving or an oyster shucking station can add theatre and excitement to the reception.
Seafood is a natural choice for weddings in Mallorca. The island’s coastal traditions and fresh produce inspire starters that feel light yet luxurious.
Elegant starter ideas include:
Salmon yuzu tartare with avocado and mango
King prawns with citrus and ginger dressing
Fish and prawn ceviche with crispy taco
Seafood bisque with herbed croutons
Beef carpaccio with rocket and Parmesan
These dishes are beautifully balanced, fresh, colourful, and ideal for warm Mediterranean evenings.
One of the reasons Mediterranean food works so well at weddings is its social nature. Many dishes are designed to be shared, creating a relaxed atmosphere around the table.
Sharing dishes might include vibrant salads such as:
Italian caprese with buffalo mozzarella and basil
Greek salad with feta, tomatoes, and olives
Rocket, watermelon and feta salad with mint
Mallorquin trampó salad with tomato, peppers, and onion
Mediterranean couscous tabouleh with herbs and vegetables
These dishes sit at the centre of the table, encouraging conversation and a sense of abundance that suits weddings perfectly.

Guests might enjoy dishes such as:
Prime Galician rib eye steak with garlic and thyme
Piri piri chicken breast with mango sweet chilli sauce
Iberico pork presa with honey and sobrasada
Tiger prawns grilled with olive oil and lime
Chargrilled calamari with lemon and parsley

When served on platters for guests to choose from, these grilled dishes create a lively and generous dining experience.
Fresh seasonal salads are essential to balance richer grilled dishes and seafood.
Options often include:
Rocket and peach salad with blue cheese and cashew nuts
Mediterranean couscous with fresh herbs
Pesto farfalle pasta with roasted tomatoes
Mixed baby leaf salad with cherry tomatoes and cucumber
Tricolour quinoa with pumpkin and Thai curry dressing
These vibrant salads add colour, freshness, and texture to the wedding table.
Dessert is the final moment to delight guests before the evening celebrations continue.
Popular wedding desserts include:
Chocolate coulant with vanilla ice cream and salted caramel
Lotus Biscoff cheesecake
Apple tarte tatin with cinnamon ice cream
Classic chocolate mousse
Traditional almond cake with almond ice cream
Mango and passionfruit dessert glass
Many couples also add a wedding cake, dessert trio, or even an espresso martini tower to end the meal with a little theatre.
