7 new restaurant openings in Mallorca to watch in 2026

Inside Terreno Barrio Hotel, Destape gives Palma neighbourhood El Terreno a restaurant-bar with more use than lobby filler. Brazilian chef Gabriel Conti builds the cooking around local produce and the open grill, with monkfish, turbot, tuna and beef doing the heavy lifting. The setting matters: a public-feeling dining room and terrace in OHLAB’s 41-room hotel, where the historic 1935 building looks across to a newer timber structure. Go for a proper dinner before Plaça Gomila gets louder, or for a drink and plates when you want hotel polish without the sealed-off hotel bubble or room-service aftertaste.

Le Bistrot Sellier brings French bistro habits into Palma with more conviction than a lot of places manage. It is a restaurant and bakery with a blackboard menu that keeps moving, so the pull is as much about dropping in again as getting a table once. Mallorca-based duo Rôck & Villa created it for a family of French restaurateurs and their own shorthand for the place is the right one: Paris, translated into Palma. Go in daylight for bread and pastry, or later when the room is running properly and the ardoise starts making decisions for you.

Passeig del Born gives Terra a central stage for the Mediterranean habit of sharing food, wine and time at the table. Part of Mallorca’s Enjoy Restaurants Group, the Palma restaurant draws on cooking from across the region, with plates designed for the centre of the table and cocktails alongside. Oxtail cannelloni and grilled artichokes have been among the menu highlights, while the terrace takes its cue from the island’s cenas a la fresca tradition. Come for lunch, stay through aperitifs and order across the menu: Terra is built around long meals, bottles passed around and the social rhythm of sobremesa.

Palma’s tardeo habit gets a sharper address at Fina Bar, beside Plaça Fleming on the edge of Arxiduc Lluís Salvador. The format is all-day and adult-only: breakfast, lunch, dinner, cocktails, music and a room that can shift from casual bite to DJ-led evening without pretending to be a club. Use it as a bar with food attached, not as a restaurant pilgrimage. The point is the Palma rhythm: coffee into plates, drinks into late afternoon noise, then something stronger when the city decides the night has started. Good for a low-commitment social stop before El Terreno or Santa Catalina.
