This is our review of Mallorca (Maps), visited in January 2026.
If you’re searching for a stylish and relaxing lunch spot in Futako Tamagawa, Mallorca Futako Tamagawa (マヨルカ二子玉川) is a hidden gem where you can enjoy the authentic taste of Spain right in the heart of Tokyo. This royal-approved bakery and café-restaurant, originally from Spain, offers a dining experience that blends refined European flavors with a relaxing terrace atmosphere.
A Bright, Airy Café with Spanish Charm
Located on the second floor of Futako Tamagawa Rise S.C. Terrace Market, Mallorca welcomes you with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, warm wood accents, and a vibrant display of freshly baked breads and sweets. The atmosphere feels elegant yet casual—perfect for couples, families, or solo visitors looking to treat themselves to something special between shopping or sightseeing. The lunch menu features a variety of classic Spanish dishes, from tapas to hearty mains, designed for both first-time visitors and seasoned food lovers seeking a touch of Mediterranean flair.
Café Americano: Starting Your Meal Light
I started my meal with Mallorca’s Café Americano. Made by adding hot water to a freshly pulled espresso shot, it strikes the perfect balance between depth and smoothness. The subtle aroma of roasted beans and nuts fills the air with each sip, awakening your senses gently before the main course. Its elegant, clean finish pairs beautifully with both savory dishes and desserts—a true all-rounder coffee.
Paella Box: A Flavorful Lunchtime Indulgence
No visit to Mallorca Futako Tamagawa is complete without trying their signature Paella Box—a highly praised dish even among Tokyo foodies searching for authentic paella lunch spots.
When you open the box, you’re greeted with vibrant saffron rice topped generously with chicken, shrimp, squid, and mushrooms. The scent of seafood and spices instantly evokes the warmth of Spain’s coastal kitchens.
Unlike the dry style of traditional paella, Mallorca’s version is slightly softer and fluffier, allowing the rich seafood broth to soak deeply into each grain. Each spoonful bursts with flavor and umami, highlighted by the tender shrimp and juicy chicken. It’s satisfying yet surprisingly light, making it ideal for a leisurely lunch before an afternoon stroll or shopping.
Pairing it with the Americano is a wise move—the coffee’s clean taste resets your palate perfectly after each rich bite, helping you savor the vibrant Spanish flavors until the very end.
Pistachio Cake: A Sweet Finale Worth Savoring
For dessert, Mallorca’s Pistachio Cake is pure indulgence. The bakery is known for its exquisite pistachio creations such as Basque cheesecake and pistachio butter sandwiches loved by locals and tourists alike. The cake itself is moist, dense, and packed with rich nutty flavor balanced by buttery sweetness. Despite its decadent look, it feels surprisingly light and well-balanced, leaving you wanting “just one more bite.” The Americano again plays a perfect supporting role, with its mild bitterness cleansing your palate and enhancing the nutty notes of the dessert.
What Makes Mallorca Stand Out in Futako Tamagawa
Mallorca’s charm goes beyond the food—it’s the whole experience. The prices are a little higher than average, but the quality and satisfaction make it well worth it. The bakery’s take-home items, like honey bread and Basque cheesecake sandwiches, are popular souvenirs that extend the Mallorca experience beyond the terrace.
Because it’s a popular restaurant, weekend lunchtimes can get busy, and seating can feel compact. Visiting a bit earlier or later in the afternoon is recommended if you prefer a slower pace. Still, the consistent flow of returning guests shows exactly why Mallorca remains one of the top choices for Spanish restaurants in Tokyo.
A Perfect Spanish Lunch in the Heart of Tokyo
Sipping an Americano, savoring the rich Paella Box, and finishing with a pistachio dessert on a sunlit terrace—it’s the kind of Futako Tamagawa lunch experience that feels both sophisticated and satisfying. Whether you’re exploring the Rise shopping complex or simply seeking a peaceful moment, Mallorca Futako Tamagawa offers a little taste of Spain that pairs perfectly with Tokyo’s stylish energy.
