When the weather turns warm, nothing beats enjoying a terrace in Palma with great food and atmosphere. Grupo La Vasca offers two alfresco spots where you can soak up the city: the lively street terrace at La Vasca and the hidden, romantic courtyard at Sukalde. Below we explain what makes each outdoor table special, how to book during golden hour and a few tips to get the most from the experience.
La Vasca: pintxos & after‑work sunshine
Found at Carrer de Bonaire 19, La Vasca’s terrace is perfect for anyone looking for a local vibe in Palma’s Old Town. The pintxo counter spills onto the street with high tables and parasols that invite you to share:
- Must‑try pintxos: classic Gilda, mini Rabowich and txipirón croquettes.
- Continuous kitchen from 12:30 to 00:00 h (Tuesday to Saturday) with reduced menu from 16:00 to 19:00 h for afterwork.
- Best time: 7:30–9:00 pm, when the sun sets on the stone façades and the temperature is perfect.
- Booking tip: ask for a table next to the entrance to watch Palma life go by.
Sukalde: cocktails & dinners under the stars
A short walk away on Plaça de la Drassana, Sukalde’s interior terrace is a contemporary oasis. Wrapped in greenery and minimalist design, it’s ideal for romantic dinners or groups seeking calm:
- Group menus 55, 62 and €68
- Signature cocktails: try the Aperol Spritz or the Paloma after sunset.
- Special hours: non-stop kitchen; Monday and Wednesday to Sunday 12:30-00:00 h, Monday and Wednesday from 18:00 to 00:00.
- Golden hour: 8:00 pm, when side light creates a warm, photogenic glow.
- Booking tip: ask for an outdoor patio.
