Sushi Instead of a Disco: ROKA Moves into the Former Pachá on the Paseo Marítimo

Answer

How could a high-end restaurant on Palma’s Paseo Marítimo affect the neighbourhood?

A restaurant of this type can bring more daytime and evening dining traffic, new jobs and a quieter atmosphere than a club. At the same time, residents worry about traffic, delivery lorries, changing clientele and possible gentrification. The overall effect will depend on how the venue is managed and how well it works with the neighbourhood.
