"Nikkei-Mediterranean cooking on a mountain-view terrace at Hotel Valldemossa — chef Ricardo Rossi's ceviches and tiradito, for a scenic, romantic dinner in the hills."
About De Tokio a Lima
De Tokio a Lima is the Valldemossa outpost of the Palma-born Nikkei restaurant, set at the adults-only Hotel Valldemossa in the mountain village of Valldemossa on Mallorca. It opened in early 2024 and is run by chef Ricardo Rossi under concept chef German de Bernardi, who built the original at the Can Alomar hotel in Palma. The cooking is Nikkei — the Japanese-Peruvian fusion born of Japanese immigration to Peru — reworked with fresh Mallorcan produce and a Mediterranean accent, served on a terrace the restaurant calls its Green Oasis, with views over the village and the Tramuntana hills.
For more of the island's dining, compare the Japanese rooftop cooking at Katagi Blau, the two-star Voro or the Mediterranean menus at Marc Fosh. For the categories, see our Japanese guide and Peruvian guide.
The Kitchen
The kitchen fuses Japanese precision and Peruvian punch with island ingredients. The raw and marinated section is the heart of the menu — ceviches and tiradito, tartares and caviar — alongside signatures such as shrimp fritters with an orange, rocoto and lime dressing, a lobster and tamarind bossam, a Korean vegetable taco and a steak tartar of beef sirloin with Bombay-curry alioli. Vegetarian dishes run roughly €18 to €23, and there is a full tasting menu, offered with Veuve Clicquot, at around €128 a head. It is creative, colourful cooking that rewards sharing across several small plates, and the Valldemossa kitchen runs the same menu and prices as the Palma original.
The Room
The setting is the headline. Perched at the adults-only Hotel Valldemossa above one of Mallorca's prettiest villages, the restaurant's terrace looks out over terracotta rooftops and the Tramuntana mountains, and is at its best on a warm evening as the light drops. The mood is stylish but relaxed, the service attentive, and the adults-only setting keeps it calm and grown-up. It works equally for a romantic dinner or a celebratory meal with a view, and is an easy add-on to a day exploring Valldemossa. Book ahead for a terrace table, especially in the summer season.
Best for a First Date
The mountain-view terrace and the adults-only calm make De Tokio a Lima a strong first date or romantic anniversary dinner, and the shareable Nikkei plates suit a celebratory birthday with a view.
Not for
Not for families with young children or a quick, budget meal — this is an adults-only, scenic Nikkei restaurant built for a leisurely, shareable dinner with a view.
