The latter to remain a little bit longer in the art world, to read a book or a magazine related to the exhibition. And last but not least to have a coffee. At Miró Mallorca it‘s even specialty coffee. No surprise: praised Rosevelvet Bakery from Palma just took over the museum café at Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró. The bright cafeteria features a…

A reminder of the popular Bar Centrale at the heart of every Italian town. The bright café on…

We all know those places, a café, a bar, a corner store that somehow looks like it’s been there forever. Like Mama Carmen’s in Santa Catalina. Alejandro opened his wonderful small kitchen only two years ago. Yet its colorful vintage furniture…

Urban taste: La Finca

October 28, 2018October 27, 2018

I love New York style breakfast places. Neighborhood cafés where you start the day with a cappuccino and a smoothie. That’s why I instantly fell in love with La Finca, the new coffee shop next to Palma’s avenidas. It’s got that same relaxed…

Friends and family: Sibil.la

May 14, 2018

Next to the tasty food it is Sibil.la’s casual, easy-going atmosphere that I come here for. The bright, slightly 60’s vintage interior, the beautiful hydraulic tiles that also adorn Sibil.la’s logo and the friendly staff. My favorite table is…
