Answer
Why are some Mallorca restaurants closed at midday in summer?
Some restaurants in Mallorca are closing at midday because demand is too weak to justify staying open all day. With fewer guests and higher staffing costs, businesses are trying to reduce losses by concentrating on the busiest hours. This is becoming more common in parts of the island during the high season.
