"Playa de Palma's best rooftop table — Jose Pellegrino's teppanyaki and omakase sushi over the bay, named Spain's top Asia-Mediterranean fusion for 2025."
About Katagi Blau
Katagi Blau sits on the rooftop of the Iberostar Selection Llaut Palma at Playa de Palma, looking out over the bay of Mallorca. Chef Jose Pellegrino runs an Asian-Mediterranean kitchen here — Japanese technique and product met with the island's light and ingredients.
It was named Best Asia–Mediterranean Fusion Cuisine 2025 at La Razón's Gastro&Cía awards, and was earlier recognised as Europe's best Asian-fusion restaurant by the World Luxury Restaurant Awards. It anchors our Japanese-leaning coverage on the island.
The Kitchen
The kitchen runs on three tracks: an omakase sushi bar where the chef builds the meal in front of you, teppanyaki tables where ingredients are seared to order, and a broader Asian-Mediterranean à la carte. Katagi sushi, beef cubes in tempura with teriyaki, and a prawn-and-miso wok recur across the menus, and a Sunday brunch pairs six appetisers with three mains.
The food is polished and product-led; the rooftop setting and the bay view are as much the point as any single dish.
The Room
The rooftop is the draw: an open, contemporary terrace high above Playa de Palma with the bay in front and signature cocktails on the list. Teppanyaki runs Wednesday to Sunday, and the room shifts easily from a long lunch to sunset drinks to dinner.
It is lively and design-led rather than hushed — come for the view and the buzz as much as the cooking.
Not for
Not for a quiet, intimate dinner or a budget bite — it is a lively, design-led rooftop where the bay view, cocktails and buzz are central to the experience.
