Lucky for Palma, there are often new and incredible restaurants and places opening within the capital of Mallorca. The careful considerations and authenticity that went into these establishments is also so wonderfully obvious, which makes them even more special.
Below are our recommendations for the best of Palma’s new and noteworthy places to visit, each with their own beautifully thoughtful design, branding and offerings. Lucky, indeed 🍀💚

🌞🌛🇪🇺🌍🍴☕️🍹💦⛱️🏓
Terreno Club features a market fresh, internationally inclined, menu, with breakfast and lunch served every day from 9:30am - 4pm, a weekend brunch, and drinks and select dishes available after 4pm. Sit within their sublimely designed indoor space or outside on their cheerful yellow-umbrella patio; either way, it’s an absolute pleasure. And it will only get better once their pool and padel courts are open.
Terreno Club is in the El Terreno neighbourhood, an up and coming area just west of Santa Catalina. If you wander this way, check out Can Pa bakery for sourdough or small luxurious desserts, Bar Bellver for all- day snacks and beer + wine, Mercat 1930 for a more upscale market set up, and Italian trattoria and brutalist design dream Brutus.

We - Sa 1pm-4:30pm & 7pm-midnight; closed Su - Tu
🌞🌛🇪🇸🌏🍴🍷
L’Àtic is the newly reopened restaurant on the 7th floor of the Hotel Saratoga. The innovative menu from Calvia-born chef Juan Pinel includes a mix of globally inspired dishes within the bites and starters sections, and more classically leaning Mediterranean mains, and ends with three lovely desserts. The setting is romantic, and the views are pretty spectacular too.
For the level of detail to both the menu and it’s presentation, the cost of dining here feels like an incredible value. You can dine a-la-carte for lunch and dinner, and they also offer a 6-course lunch menu for €38, and an 8-course Mediterranean dinner menu for €62.
