Rialto Café in Palma – café & lunch at Rialto Living

When I think of a simple, reliable break in Palma, the café in Rialto Living immediately comes to mind. It feels like a bit of a hidden gem in the Sant Feliu neighborhood: you walk through the shop, come across plants, furniture and small design pieces, and then find yourself in a bright café that opens under a glass roof. The kitchen is uncomplicated, but you can tell that fresh ingredients are used in every dish – salads with seasonal vegetables, a juicy burger with coleslaw and sometimes something with an Asian touch when the chef feels like it. Cakes and cookies often come straight from the in-house bakery, and yes, the afternoon cinnamon roll has sweetened more than one conversation while someone tapped a card. Service is friendly, low-key and truly attentive. Conveniently, the place is open year-round, ideal for rainy winter days or a sunny breakfast in spring. I recommend bringing time – browsing the shop is simply part of the visit.

Rialto Café in Rialto Living

The Rialto Café sits directly inside the Rialto Living store on C/ Sant Feliu and feels almost like a living room, only with better daylight. The glass roof captures the sun and the various seating niches — from the high table to the small sofa corner — make it easy to stay longer. The menu features uncomplicated, homemade dishes: a smoky salmon with wok vegetables, rotating daily specials, a well-stacked burger and a few refined salad options. Cakes are a highlight; try the chocolate tart or the lemon cake when freshly baked. I especially like that you can stroll through the shop before or after eating. The staff are polite, sometimes with a slightly Scandinavian touch — you notice the owner in small details like the cleanliness and style. For me, the café is a place for a slow weekend breakfast, a quick business lunch during the week or an afternoon with a newspaper and cappuccino. It's not a gourmet temple, but a reliable, pleasant meeting spot in Palma.

When to go and what to order

Rialto Living – shop & café combined

A nice detail: the café is part of the concept store. So you can enjoy your salad and then discover sofa cushions, ceramics or a stylish towel. That makes the visit special: eat, marvel, maybe buy a small souvenir. You often see people with a shop bag and a coffee cup in hand — that's totally normal here. It's a good spot if you're looking for gifts or need an interior idea without planning the whole afternoon.
