Origin Palmanova rooftop could be Mallorca’s best summer dining spot

As Mallorca’s summer season reaches its peak, rooftop dining is firmly back on the agenda. For those looking to combine sea views, live music, expertly mixed cocktails and a menu packed with flavour, Origin Palmanova Rooftop is quickly becoming one of the island’s standout destinations.

Rooftop views and sunset vibes

Overlooking Son Matias Beach, Origin offers one of the most impressive rooftop settings in southwest Mallorca. Elevated above the promenade, the stylish terrace delivers panoramic views across Palmanova Bay, making it an ideal spot for everything from long lunches and sunset drinks to special occasions and evening celebrations.

The atmosphere is relaxed yet sophisticated, with regular live music adding to the venue’s growing reputation as a go-to summer hotspot.

A menu packed with flavour

While the views may draw guests in, the menu ensures they return.

The sharing plates alone are worth a visit. Diners can start with warm focaccia bread served with marinated olives, extra virgin olive oil and house aioli, before moving on to dishes such as Thai salmon fishcakes with ponzu dressing and cilantro-lime mayo, or salmon tiradito topped with crispy onions, chilli and wakame.

Seafood lovers are particularly well catered for. The lubina ceviche combines seabass, avocado, pickled sweet potato and coconut leche de tigre, while the dynamite prawn cocktail delivers golden tempura prawns coated in a spicy sweet-chilli mayo. Freshly shucked oysters and half lobster served with garlic butter add an extra touch of indulgence.

Those seeking something heartier can opt for beef short rib tacos with mango and avocado-jalapeño cream, slow-roasted sticky pork belly with crackling, or the ever-popular buffalo chicken wings.

From steaks to seafood

The main menu continues to impress with a selection of premium dishes cooked with care.

The Origin Burger remains a customer favourite, featuring a dry-aged beef patty, cheddar cheese and signature house sauce. Elsewhere, diners can choose from pan-seared salmon fillet, herb-crusted cod with chorizo and rocket, or a rich beef ragu served over fresh tagliatelle.

For meat lovers, the Josper grill takes centre stage. The 350g ribeye steak and 280g fillet steak are served with padrón peppers, roasted cherry tomatoes, crispy onions and peppercorn sauce, while the slow-cooked beef short rib and rack of lamb offer equally tempting alternatives.

Bottomless brunch and cocktails

Origin’s famous Bottomless Brunch has become one of the most talked-about experiences in the area, pairing unlimited drinks with a menu of brunch favourites and signature dishes.

Meanwhile, the cocktail list keeps guests lingering long after dinner, with everything from classic spritzes and margaritas to crowd-pleasing Pornstar Martinis.

Combining exceptional food, sea views, live entertainment and one of the best rooftop locations in Mallorca, Origin Palmanova Rooftop offers everything needed for the perfect summer afternoon or evening on the island.
