Background
About Aromata
The Story
Aromata is Andreu Genestra's more relaxed Palma project, and the casual counterpart to his Michelin-starred eponymous restaurant on the island. It first opened in 2014 in the courtyard of the Centre de Cultura de Sa Nostra, where it picked up a Repsol Sol. After roughly a decade there, the restaurant moved in late 2024 to the ground floor of the HM Palma Blanc hotel on Carrer Ramón y Cajal, in central Palma. The idea, in Genestra's own framing, is to bring high-end Mallorcan cooking to a wider audience at gentler prices than a tasting-menu temple. The Michelin Guide lists Aromata as a Selected restaurant, and Repsol gives it 1 Sol.
The Cuisine
The cooking is contemporary Mallorcan, built around the best local Balearic ingredients available on the day. The format flexes by service: a midday menu plus à la carte at lunch, and in the evening a choice of tasting menus alongside the carte. Repsol names Aromata's tasting routes as the Aromata and Sentits menus, with a vegetarian Verd option also offered. Among the dishes Repsol singles out are roast porc negre (Mallorcan black pig) with corn and apricot on the longer menus. Check the current menus and prices directly, since the line-up changes with the market.
The Chef
The Team
The restaurant is directed by Andreu Genestra, the Mallorcan chef behind the island's Michelin-starred, Green Star Andreu Genestra restaurant. Day-to-day, the Palma kitchen is run by a resident head chef, with Gio Scaramella on the wine and floor. Genestra keeps an oversight role rather than cooking each service.

Experience
Aromata Dining Experience
Aromata is Andreu Genestra's relaxed Palma outpost, on the ground floor of the HM Palma Blanc hotel and the everyday, à la carte side of his cooking rather than the tasting-menu formality of his flagship. The mood follows the food: contemporary Mallorcan, ingredient-led, without the ceremony.
