For a long time, terraces were considered a nice extra—something that attracted guests during certain times of the year, especially in summer, and allowed all kinds of events to take place.
However, the new normal has turned that extra into a valuable asset that, in many cases, determines whether or not a restaurant can open. Far from seeing it as a drawback, at some restaurants with a terrace in Mallorca like Lume & Co, we’ve seen this necessity as an opportunity to enhance our facilities even further.
Open-air spaces like ours allow us to create a very cozy atmosphere, where our guests feel right at home. Those of you who have visited our terrace know that it’s a mix of Scandinavian and minimalist style, with a fresh, Mediterranean touch that invites relaxation.
Something that is also achieved thanks to the charm of the traditional Mallorcan stone walls of our historic building.
Another detail that helps us create the romantic setting many of our customers are looking for—especially couples celebrating a special occasion—is the warmth we bring to spring evenings with small fire pits.
That intimate atmosphere often leads guests to extend their evening with a delicious glass of wine under the stars.
But as you might imagine, the benefits of terraces go far beyond that. For example, if you have kids, you’ll know the dilemma of going out to eat with them. Going out is fun for them, sure—but what they really want is to play. That’s why many families book a table on our terrace.
That way, when they’ve finished their meal, the little ones can get up and play while the parents keep an eye on them from a distance—without having to leave their seats.
In this regard, when looking for a restaurant with a terrace in Mallorca, don’t forget to check whether they have a kids’ area like we do. If you want both adults and children to enjoy the experience, it’s important.
But beyond all these considerations, the reality is that most people choosing a restaurant with a terrace nowadays do so for safety reasons.
First, because studies conducted by multiple researchers confirm that infections are much less likely to occur in outdoor spaces than in indoor ones, where air concentration facilitates aerosol transmission.
And also because, in large terraces like ours, it’s possible to maintain the recommended distance of 1.5 to 2 meters between tables.
It’s something we’ve grown used to—and if it’s not there, we actually find it uncomfortable.
Who would have thought!
Time will tell how our culture evolves—whether we go back to the old habits of attending crowded events, shoulder to shoulder with others, or whether we’ll stick to this distance we’ve psychologically internalized.
After this detailed explanation of why terraces are here to stay, we have one last argument that—if you’re still unsure—will convince you. At least when it comes to our charming restaurant in Mallorca, Lume & Co.
We have an ace up our sleeve that makes it possible to use the terrace all year round. That trump card is our porch—a stylish, covered area that, even on rainy days or during hot summer noons, provides comfortable seating.
If you live in Mallorca or are visiting, and you’re looking—like so many others—for a restaurant with a terrace, come discover ours. You’ll find plenty of reasons to come back. Among them, our delicious menu featuring some of the best beef cuts in Mallorca. We look forward to seeing you!
