Formentera is not only spectacular beaches and magical sunsets. It is also flavor, gastronomic culture and, now, a new destination for burger lovers. If you’ve ever dreamed of enjoying incredible burgers in Formentera while breathing the fresh island air, Mama Carmen is your place.
Formentera: a paradise also for hamburger lovers
In recent years, Formentera has seen its foodie scene grow, and among all the gastronomic proposals, hamburgers have found their place. Visitors are not only looking for sea and relaxation, but also for culinary experiences that leave a mark. And of course, a good homemade hamburger is hard to forget.
This is where Mama Carmen comes in, with a proposal that combines quality, flavor and lots and lots of passion for doing things right.
Mama Carmen: two locations, two unique experiences
In Formentera, Mama Carmen offers you twice as many reasons to enjoy a good hamburger.
- In Sant Francesc, the original location maintains its essence: handmade burgers, first class ingredients and that perfect relaxed atmosphere to savor every bite.
- In Sant Ferran, comes the great novelty: the first place on the island specialized in Smash Burgers. Here the meat is cooked on the grill at high temperature, achieving that golden and crispy crust that only an authentic smash burger can offer.
Two styles, one goal: to serve you the best burgers in Formentera.

What is a Smash Burger and why you have to try it in Formentera?
You may have heard of them, but if you haven’t tried a real smash burger yet, you’re about to discover something very special.
A smash burger is not just a smashed burger. It is a whole technique that seeks to enhance the flavor. By smashing the fresh meat ball on the very hot griddle, a golden crust is created thanks to the Maillard reaction. This flavorful outer layer is combined with a juicy interior that is simply unparalleled.
In Formentera, until now, there was no place dedicated exclusively to this technique. Mama Carmen in Sant Ferran changes that. And believe us: once you try a well-done smash burger, there’s no going back.
What makes us special?
We could talk about the first quality ingredients, the artisan bread, the homemade sauces or the relaxed atmosphere that permeates every corner. But what really distinguishes Mama Carmen is the affection with which they do things.
Each burger, whether at the Sant Francesc location or at the new space in Sant Ferran, is a declaration of love for good food. Here there are no tricks or unnecessary complications: just absolute respect for the product and a constant search for perfection in every bite.
In addition, the service is close, fast and with that casual touch that makes you enjoy the experience even more.
