Beachfront restaurant at Platja d'Alcúdia serving Mediterranean-style grilled fish, salads, and pasta with views over Alcúdia Bay. Perfect for a long relaxed lunch after the beach.
La Pergola Beach Club is a beachfront restaurant and sunbed operation on Platja d'Alcúdia, the long sandy beach that stretches south from the walled Roman town of Alcúdia on Mallorca's northeastern coast. The beach at Alcúdia is one of the broadest and most sheltered on the island, and La Pergola makes use of that position with a shaded terrace directly on the sand and views across Alcúdia Bay towards the distant Cap des Pinar headland. The menu is Mediterranean in the straightforward beachside idiom: whole grilled dorada (gilthead bream) with lemon, mixed grilled vegetables, fresh pasta dishes, and salads that are generous in the summer heat. It is not ambitious cooking but it is well-executed and reliably fresh. The beach club element — sun loungers and parasols available for hire — makes La Pergola a logical all-day venue: hire equipment in the morning, break for lunch, continue in the afternoon. The operation is seasonal, opening in May and closing once the beach season ends in October. The area around Platja d'Alcúdia is one of the more family-friendly corners of Mallorca, and the restaurant reflects this: service is patient and the food is accessible to children as well as adults. No reservations are required for the beach area; the restaurant terrace is first-come, first-served at lunch.

Tips for visiting
- Arrive before 11AM to hire the best-positioned sun loungers and have lunch without competition for tables
- The grilled fish of the day varies; ask what is available rather than ordering from the printed menu
- Book the restaurant terrace at weekends in peak summer to avoid the lunch rush; beach loungers are walk-in only
- Alcúdia old town (10 minutes on foot) is worth a pre-lunch visit for the Roman ruins and walled streets
- The beach is exposed to the tramuntana wind from the north; the eastern end near the Cap des Pinar is more sheltered
