Breakfast with a View: The Best Places to Start Your Day in Palma

Summer in Palma invites you to slow down and savour life. And there's no better way to begin the day than with breakfast by the sea or in a charming hidden spot, where flavour meets the Mediterranean breeze. From Es Princep, located on the iconic Baluard del Princep, we invite you to discover some of the most unforgettable breakfast spots in the city.

The Es Princep Rooftop: Breakfast with Endless Views

One of the city's best-kept secrets is Almaq Rooftop, perched atop Es Princep hotel. While many know it for its sunset cocktails and exclusive vibe, in the morning it becomes the perfect spot for a quiet coffee or full breakfast.

From here, you’ll enjoy one of the most breathtaking views of Palma Bay, with the historic city wall at your feet and the sea stretching into the horizon. The menu includes fresh Mediterranean options: seasonal fruit, gourmet toast, homemade pastries and natural juices.

Charming Cafés in the Old Town

Just steps from the hotel, nestled between narrow alleys and secret courtyards, you’ll find some of Palma’s most delightful cafés. These spots pay attention to every detail, from coffee quality to interior design:

• La Molienda: with two central locations, it offers specialty coffee, creative toast and a relaxed atmosphere.
• Café Riutort: a local and tourist favourite. Known for its organic eggs, sourdough bread and cold-pressed juices.
• Rosevelvet Bakery: a must for those with a sweet tooth. This artisan bakery serves up irresistible cakes and pastries.

All of them are less than a 10-minute walk from Es Princep, making them ideal for guests seeking variety without venturing too far.

Historic Walks to Complete Your Morning

After breakfast, we suggest a leisurely stroll through Parc de la Mar or along the old city walls. From the hotel, you can easily reach La Seu, Palma’s magnificent Gothic cathedral that dominates the skyline.

You might also stop by the Fundació Juan March Museum, which offers free admission and a fine collection of modern art, or explore the nearby Sa Gerreria district, filled with urban art and local boutiques.

In Palma, breakfast isn’t just a meal—it’s a sensory way to start your day. And in summer, as the city awakens in golden light, it becomes an unforgettable experience.
