Breakfasts in Palma de Mallorca: Our Curated Selection

At Red Star Tours, we have meticulously selected these breakfast spots in Palma, designed for every type of traveler and occasion, from those seeking tradition to those looking for a gourmet experience. These are not just "places for breakfast"; they are "experiences we recommend" so that your day in Mallorca starts on the right foot.

Essential Classics to Taste Mallorcan Tradition

For those looking to immerse themselves in the essence of Mallorca from the first bite, the classics are a must-stop. It's not just about breakfast; it's about diving into a part of local history and heritage.

Can Joan de S'Aigo

Founded around 1700, it is a historical reference for Mallorcan pastry and ice cream. Famous for its ensaimadas, cuartos, and hot chocolate.

Although many tourists go for its fame, the secret of Can Joan de S'Aigo, according to us, lies in its ability to transport you to an old Mallorca. It is a journey back in time and a testament to tradition. Surely, a product of its founding date, although much has changed since then.

If your Red Star Tours excursion to the Cuevas del Drach departs mid-morning, a quick but hearty breakfast at Can Joan de S'Aigo leaves you very close to the meeting points in the center of Palma. Why does it matter? Because it allows you to enjoy a Mallorcan icon without worrying about your tour schedule.

Our guides often recommend trying their chocolate with churros before joining one of our departures.

Bar Bosch

An iconic meeting point in the center of Palma, perfect for feeling the pulse of the city. Ideal for a quick coffee and toast. Its central location makes it a practical option if you join an excursion departing from the heart of Palma.

This is how they prepare the fruit and cereal bowl at Bar Bosch, one of the best breakfasts in Palma de Mallorca.

Panoramic Cafeterias in Palma, if you're looking for good views

If for you breakfast is not complete without a good dose of scenic beauty, Palma offers options where coffee tastes better with a postcard background.

Nakar Hotel (Terrace Access)

Nestled in the heart of Palma, this design hotel offers a rooftop terrace with stunning views of the Cathedral and the bay. Its breakfast buffet is modern and varied, with fresh and quality options. It is a place where design and panorama merge for a sophisticated start to the day.

If you are one of those who think that coffee tastes better with a postcard background, Nakar is your place. Of course, be prepared for the battle for the table with the best angle if you go at peak times! It's part of the charm, right?

This is the terrace of Hotel Nakar, where you can enjoy a delicious breakfast.

According to the experience of the Red Star Tours drivers, terraces with views usually have their calmest moment before 9 AM, offering a more serene start to the day before the crowd arrives. It is the perfect time to capture the photo without crowds, as most vacation travelers don't wake up that early.

Cafeterias on the Promenade

Along Palma's extensive Paseo MarĂ­timo (promenade), you will find numerous cafes and restaurants offering breakfasts with direct views of the Mediterranean Sea and the port. They are ideal for enjoying the sea breeze and watching boats go by while you have a coffee with toast or a fresh fruit bowl.

For the Red Star Tours team, having breakfast facing the sea on the Paseo MarĂ­timo is an instant immersion in the Mediterranean spirit of Mallorca. It's a simple yet profound way to connect with the island.

A relaxing breakfast here is the perfect prelude to a day of exploration on our tours or by renting your own boat.

Specialty Cafeterias for Coffee and Conscious Food Lovers

The culture of specialty coffee and brunch has arrived strongly in Palma, offering creative alternatives and options for all tastes and needs.

La Molienda

Known for its single-origin coffee and cozy atmosphere. Perfect for a relaxed brunch. While it's true that the 'brunch' trend sometimes seems like mere posturing, at La Molienda they demonstrate that quality and creativity in breakfast are a chosen norm, not an adaptation to personal demand.

If you are one of those who enjoy a good coffee before an adventure, La Molienda is conveniently located near our main meeting points in Palma for tours such as the visit to SĂłller.
