WELCOME

Mediterranean cuisine seduced the world primarily through its simplicity and beneficial effects on human health, so it does not surprise that the longest living residents of Croatia reside right on the island of Krk. The ideal climate conditions and natural preservation of the largest Croatian island, offer us the ideal opportunity to deliver our guests a fresh and organic local product in record time, from the manufacturer to the table.

Our long-standing passion and love for creating culinary sensations that will encourage in every guest a sincere joy, over the years positioned us as one of the best restaurants on the island. Our cuisine is based on fresh seasonal ingredients, seafood from the local catch, and complemented by carefully selected wines exclusively from local wine producers, from the island of Krk, as well as from regions of Istria and Dalmatia.

Memories of the past times and continuous innovation, interweave in a fusion of traditional and contemporary Mediterranean cuisine, placing special attention on the creation of an original product, as well as the origins of the ingredients. Therefore, our offer may be simply a result of a sincere belief that the man is just a reflection of what he is nurtured by.
ABOUT
Guided by the vision that proximity to the beauty of the sea and the many gifts it provides, would be the ideal backdrop to share our passion for fresh food, our family decided twenty years ago to restore a collapsed and abandoned building on the oldest street from which gradually Malinska has developed. On this historic site, which in the past functioned as the port authority headquarters, we started our family restaurant. The name came spontaneously. In a small garden beside the former ruins where our restaurant now stands, there was a vivid palm tree, watching over the site as a kind of a guardian and a sign that the abandoned facility should be revived.
From the beginning back in 1996, emphasis was placed on preserving the authenticity of the building and the site as an ideal surrounding for creating spectacular dishes of the Mediterranean cuisine. For twenty years we have attempted to maintain the initial idea where the guest is the primary focus, and the ingredients are purchased daily fresh from the local producers. The offering has been from the beginnings primarily Mediterranean with an emphasis on the fish and seafood, organic meat, handmade pasta, fresh vegetables and homemade olive oil. Indeed sensational are our cold and hot appetizers, as well as daily fresh desserts, created with special care by our chef.
We owe special gratitude to a wide range of our devoted guests who have believed in our concept througout the years. Indeed, a friendly attitude is what we have tried to perserve with each one of them, as we observe catering primarily through the prism of love for the people.
Relaxed moments next to the sea, colored by scents and warmed by the sun, so far away from the gray and the bustle of the cities, in continuous synergy with gifts of the sea and the finest Croatian wines, is what we want to convey and to deliver as a unique experience.
The restaurant consists of two inside dining areas spread over the two floors, frontal terrace located in the old authentic island street, and a separate seafront terrace on the local promenade, with total number of 110 seats. Especially lovely is our terrace on the first floor, furnished with four tables for two, ideal for romantic dinners by the candlelight.
Year after year we try to change our offer in line with the inspiration and change of culinary trends, nevertheless relying on the classic favorites.
We are open from May the 1st to November the 1st. In the winter period, the restaurant is closed.

On my first visit to Krk I was lucky enough to happen upon Palma on our first day. The food is wonderful and the staff is great. We ate there nearly every day on our stay, and Ada was super helpful with advice on the best spots to visit on the island. Thanks Ada – we’ll be back for sure. Definitely go for a visit to Palma!
Per noi è il migliore del posto perché si mangia molto bene, è intimo, molto curato e l’accoglienza e’ squisita …. Appena torniamo per le vacanze a Malinska, andiamo solo da loro….
LOCATION
Restaurant Palma is located in the heart of the small historic village, from where the village itself has gradually developed around the old mill, after which Malinska was named ( archaic word for mill in croatian is: melin, malin). You will find an authentic island ambience preserved through the efforts of the owners and architects. This preserved authenticity is the legacy we rely on even as we look into the future.
BREAKFAST
We all agree how utterly important breakfast is, especially during summer months when the body is exposed to high temperatures and tires easily due to sports activities and sun exposure. Therefore, Restaurant Palma offers healthy breakfast daily powered by the finest Italian coffee Lavazza. Breakfast is served from 8:00 a.m.to 12:00 p.m. For a more detailed insight on our breakfast offer consult the MENU section.
