The current building dates from 1925 and occupies two adjacent buildings on San Francisco Street, numbers 259 and 261. At 259 there is the living room and at 261, on the first floor, you can find the kitchen and the bathrooms in the restaurant.
History
It was founded by the Mallorcan of Felanitx Antoni Rigo Sagrera, with the name of "La Panaderia Mallorquina". In 1910, Antoni Rigo partnered with his cousin Gabriel Abraham Sagrera, and created the «Panaderia y Gran Confiteria. Rigo y Abraham» (Bakery and Great Confectionery. Rigo and Abraham). The bakery was expanding its offer, adding the sale of confectionery, European chocolates and soft drinks. The tigernut and coffee were introduced and in 1918 the "Bombonera" was born, incorporating a stained-glass window to the façade. His specialties were the Mallorcas (formerly Pan de Mallorca), Galletas Nena and Coca de Sardinas.
In 1920, Rigo returned to Spain and sold his participation to Majorcan Cristobal Puig, becoming "Puig and Abraham". In 1963, kitchens were built in the adjacent building number 261 and became a restaurant. After 110 years of operation, in April 2012, it was announced its closure. In 2016 the restaurant reactivated the activity led by the founder's granddaughter Isabel Obrador Rigo.
