Simply Fosh (Revisit – May 2010)

Simply Fosh, Palma – The interior decoration has retained it’s contempory concept; minimal and simple. The ambience, filled in with a variation of Latin American music and jazz.

Still standing solidly, busy with tourists, locals and us (not just office workers), it is a good reason to dine in.
