When I decided to visit Origin Palmanova Rooftop in Palma Nova, Mallorca, I had heard good things, but nothing could fully prepare me for the experience that awaited. From the moment I stepped out of the elevator, the breathtaking view over the Mediterranean Sea captured my attention, setting the tone for an evening that would be hard to forget.
The terrace, perched high above the bustling streets, offers a panoramic view that’s nothing short of stunning. As the sun began to set, casting warm hues across the sky and sea, it became clear why this spot is a favorite among both locals and visitors. The ambiance is a perfect blend of modern sophistication and relaxed comfort, making it an ideal place for both special occasions and casual gatherings.
The menu at Origin Palmanova Rooftop is crafted with care, showcasing local ingredients with a contemporary twist. I started my evening with a plate of Iberico ham, paired with a refreshing melon and mint dressing. The dish was a delightful combination of rich and fresh flavors, a perfect prelude to what was to come.
For the main course, I opted for the sea bass fillet with saffron risotto. The fish was impeccably cooked, tender, and flavorful, while the risotto provided a creamy and aromatic accompaniment. The saffron’s subtle presence was just enough to elevate the dish without overpowering it, making it a memorable highlight of the evening.
One aspect that pleasantly surprised me was the drink menu. Origin Palmanova Rooftop offers an impressive selection of cocktails, each carefully crafted to complement the dishes or enjoyed on their own. I tried their signature cocktail, a refreshing mix of local gin, citrus, and a hint of rosemary. The flavors were well-balanced, making it the perfect drink to sip while taking in the stunning views.
Service throughout the evening was attentive and personable. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and drink pairings, offering recommendations that enhanced the overall experience without feeling intrusive. It was clear that they take pride in delivering a top-notch experience to their guests.
To round off the evening, I indulged in a chocolate fondant with a salted caramel center. It was a decadent, yet not overly heavy, ending to the meal, leaving me thoroughly satisfied.
