You already know we love to eat well. It’s just one of the things we enjoy the most about living in this foodie-heaven called Mallorca. From sushi nights to slow lunches, we’re always on the hunt for standout places that get us excited to book a table. And this year, Mallorca’s food scene is bringing the heat.

We’ve scouted the island’s freshest newcomers, even most of them are newcomers to Palma, and we’re serving you the spots that are already making waves. Ready to discover the best new restaurants in Mallorca? Let’s dig in.

Minimalist design, elevated sushi and an obsession with quality: Marui is already topping the list for Palma’s Japanese food lovers. With ultra-fresh ingredients and a calm, elegant atmosphere, this place nails the balance between simplicity and finesse. Book ahead: it’s no longer under the radar.

Originally from Madrid, Lamucca has made a splash in Palma with its new seafront restaurant in Portixol. Expect relaxed Mediterranean food, unbeatable views, and a laid-back space that works for everything from long lunches to sunset cocktails. Fresh seafood, grilled meats, big salads and a cocktail list that delivers; this one’s a keeper.

Tucked away on C/ Espartero, Knoma is home to the first omakase counter in Mallorca: a 12-seat intimate space where high-end Japanese cuisine meets creative flair. The experience is centred around direct interaction with the chefs, who prepare each dish right in front of you, creating a deeply personal and sensory journey through flavour and technique. It’s refined, immersive, and perfect for food lovers looking for something truly out of the ordinary in Palma. This is not just a meal, it’s a performance in precision and taste.

This newcomer in the Santa Catalina area brings together stylish design and a versatile, global-inspired menu. Think tacos, bao buns, steak tartare and sushi rolls, all in a buzzing, beautifully designed space. With music and good energy every night, Casa Patrón is a new go-to for dinner and drinks in style.

New on the Palma scene and already making noise, Little Jarana is where you go for bold flavours, colour and a little chaos (in the best way). From ceviches to arepas and grilled meats, it’s all about Latin-American fusion with attitude. Add a couple of cocktails and you’ve got a recipe for a good time.

The recently reopened Four Seasons Hotel Formentor brings us Llum i Sal, a restaurant that blends barefoot elegance with local roots. Expect seasonal Mediterranean cuisine with a fine dining twist, all served with front-row views of the Formentor bay. It’s dreamy, refined and worth the trip.

At Nakar Hotel, we love staying on top of what’s new (especially when it’s this delicious). Whether you’re looking for a relaxed lunch, a big night out or a romantic dinner, Mallorca’s new wave of restaurants has you covered.

And the best part? Many of these are just around the corner from Nakar Hotel, your perfect base in Palma. Need help with bookings or tips? Just ask our team at reception. We’ve got you.
