Origin Palma Nova

Carrer Cala Blanca 1 Marina Arcades, 07181 Palma Nova, Balearic Islands

If you’re looking for a rooftop vibe in Palma Nova, then Origin is it. Set on an elevated terrace with fantastic views of the bay, Origin really is a stunning spot. They even open in the early winter months, unlike most restaurants in the area, with heated fairy-lit pods set up on their terrace to still make the most of their great views in a cosy setting. The food is excellent, Mediterranean, with Tapas, fresh fish, and quality meats all available. Combined with great cocktails and very friendly service to match. We have really enjoyed many visits here.

The Olive Tree

Carrer Cala Blanca, 1, 07181 Torrenova, Illes Balears

Located in the same bay below Origin. The largely alfresco restaurant has a real rustic charm with olive wood tables, an Olive Tree in the middle of the restaurant, and plenty of natural foliage, giving the restaurant a rustic charm and a modern, chilled vibe. We love their take on a bottomless Spanish Tapas-style brunch. The menu includes a great selection of Tapas dishes, fresh seafood, salads, pasta, and a great range of quality meats. The Calamari & Lamb were absolutely delicious! 

La Vista

Carrer Martín Ros García, 6, local 4, 07181 Palmanova, Illes Balears

A family-run restaurant with extremely attentive and friendly service. A perfect spot for food with an excellent array of cocktails on offer. The Cava Sangria and Mai Tai were excellent. The food offered is varied, including fresh Tapas, salads, burgers, sandwiches, grilled meats, seafood, Paellas, and Wok and pasta dishes. All are excellent quality and good value with substantial portions. The Tuna tataki and seabass are particularly good. There’s also a fresh children’s menu available.

Overall we had a great time and would certainly recommend La Vista for a relaxed meal in a stunning spot.

Siso Beach

Avinguda de Son Maties, 6b, 07181 Calvià, Illes Balears

Full beach restaurant vibes, with cool tunes, fantastic world-influenced food, and top-draw cocktails, all in the perfect beachfront location! An exciting menu packed full of some of my absolute favorites: scallops, Lobster Surf & Turf, Beef Wellington, incredible meats, pizza, pasta, and so much more.

A venue where you can while away the day and party into the evening.

Taste of India

Av. de la Platja, 12, 07181 Palmanova, Illes Balears

We know how tricky it can be to find a quality Indian restaurant on the Island. In Palma Nova, this is a great spot to get your Indian fix with consistently good food. All the classics and some quality specials are well worth a try. A range of Indian beers is also available, a must for any decent curry house.

Restaurant Ajimoli

Av. de la Platja, 7, 07181 Calvià, Illes Balears

This is slightly off the beaten track but well worth seeking out. It is an absolute Gem of a Tapas restaurant; the quality of the food for the price is excellent. It’s also a good option for breakfast or a light lunch.

So, there you have it, our selection of the best restaurants in Palma Nova. Whether you are looking for a beautiful sea view or a different cuisine, we have you covered. We hope you enjoy trying some of these restaurants on your next visit to Mallorca as much as we have enjoyed eating at them.
