What are the typical opening hours for restaurants on weekdays in Mallorca?

Dining schedules on the island often depend on whether you’re in busy Palma or a quieter village like Valldemossa or Deia. Many local eateries follow the traditional Spanish timetable, opening for lunch from midday until mid-afternoon, usually between 1:00 and 3:30 PM. After a siesta break, tables reopen for dinner around 7:30 or 8:00 PM, staying busy until 10:30 or 11:00. Coastal towns such as Port de Pollenca and beachside spots near Es Trenc might stretch hours a bit later during summer, catering to tourists enjoying the sunset.

Casual cafes and bakeries selling ensaimadas or pa amb oli tend to close earlier, often by 6:00 or 7:00 PM, while more upscale restaurants in resorts or Palma’s Old Town can stay open later. Keep in mind that on weekdays, especially outside peak season, some rural establishments might close mid-afternoon or remain closed one day per week. It’s wise to check opening hours in advance, either online or by phone, particularly if you’re heading to a well-regarded place in Soller or Manacor. Festivals like Sant Sebastià or the Festa de l’Ametler can temporarily alter normal hours, so it’s worth planning ahead during those events.
