Only a few meters away, chrome-flashing luxury boats dance on the waves of the Mallorcan sea. A light breeze blows from the harbor. And on the plates in front of you are excellent creations from the Robata Grill: welcome to Yara!

Stylish dining spot
The new restaurant is located only about ten kilometers from the Balearic capital Palma in the southwest of the island. In front of the door: the marina. Behind you: the kitchen, which the Austrian Simon Petutschnig runs with a sure hand. And all around you: summer vibes and the beautiful interiors of co-owner Sheela Levy. The Swiss designer also co-owns Fera in the heart of Palma together with her husband.

Just like there, nothing is left to chance in the Yara. The interior of the restaurant is furnished according to Feng Shui criteria. Exquisite furniture, natural fabrics, numerous plants and a pleasant color concept emphasize the feel-good atmosphere. The walls are adorned with large-scale works by local artist Antoni Pedaza.
Asia meets the Mediterranean
Behind the stove, the entrepreneurial couple Levy also relies on the help of a familiar face. The Austrian Simon Petutschnig, also responsible for the menu in the Fera, combines Asian and Mediterranean flavors in the Yara. He got the necessary know-how for it directly in Japan. There, he immersed himself in the art of Japanese cuisine.

For the guests, this means that they can expect the unusual as well as artisanal perfection. For the opening, the Chef's Menu currently features Gillardeau oysters with sake sour and apple as starters. There's also Noris stuffed with crispy seaweed, Wagyu tartare and caviar. Dim Sums with shiitake mushrooms, sashimi, jamón Iberico - all these are just small glimpses of the delicacies that the new foodie hotspot in Mallorca has to offer.

"At Yara we offer fine Asian-Mediterranean style, we combine the best of both cuisines," says the Carinthian. At the forefront stands food that's part of the Sharing Style. So everyone can taste through the variety of dishes offered. You absolutely have to try the homemade Lemon Pie with green Shiso ice cream.
