Koa — Grill and Bar in La Lonja, Palma

Koa is located on one of the liveliest streets in La Lonja, just a stone's throw from the sea and Palma's historic squares. The place is more casual than fancy — that's exactly why I like it. In the evening the room fills with the murmur of conversation, cocktail glasses clink, and a platter of grilled meat lands in the middle of the table. The menu mixes international flavors with local ingredients: from a juicy grilled rib‑eye to baked sweet potatoes and a salmon portion with a slightly sweet yuzu note. Portions are generous, prices fair for the quality, and the wine list features a few good Mallorcan drops alongside international classics. The staff are quick and friendly — nobody feels pretentious. For me Koa works best as a meeting point for an informal group: you share, taste a bit of everything and often stay longer than planned. If you're looking for romance, you should choose a quieter table — or arrive later when the bar quiets down.
