Restaurant Rating
The Palm Main Restaurant
At the RIU Palace Maldivas' main restaurant, The Palm, you can expect a lavish breakfast buffet with show cooking, where you can choose from a variety of delicious options. For lunch and dinner, an extensive buffet awaits you with a diverse selection of dishes. In addition, there are two theme days per week with extra outdoor buffets to tantalize your taste buds.
It should be noted, however, that the dishes offered are repeated during the course of a week. Nevertheless, you can be sure that the quality and variety of food will always remain at a high level, so you can continue to enjoy delicious meals. All tables are located outside the restaurant and are not air-conditioned, occasionally you will find ceiling fans.
Ideally, you should use the themed restaurants in the evening as an alternative. Note, however, that these are usually booked up quickly.
Japanese Restaurant
Beautiful ambience in Japanese style, there are freshly prepared Japanese specialties served. A very small restaurant with a small show cooking corner. The à la carte dishes are served as a 3-course menu, where you can choose from several delicious options. Enjoy an exquisite selection of appetizers, main courses and desserts, carefully prepared and presented. Flavorful and delicious selection, portions are kept rather small.
Fusion Restaurant "Krystal
Fusion cuisine is an exciting culinary experience that combines different flavors, ingredients and cooking techniques from different cultures and traditions. It combines elements of Western cuisine with Asian, Latin American or other influences to create unique and creative dishes. Fusion cuisine offers a harmonious fusion of flavors, textures and presentations to delight discerning palates. With innovative combinations and a balance of flavors and aesthetics, fusion cuisine promises an unforgettable culinary experience. If you're a fan of new taste experiences, then you should definitely give this a try. Again, you should expect exclusive dishes and small portions.
Italian Restaurant at RIU Atoll (pre-dinner and dessert buffet)
The restaurant is located on the neighboring island of the RIU Atoll and can be reached either completely on foot or partially by shuttle from pool to reception. The restaurant is also used by the hotel guests of the RIU Atoll and therefore much more booked than the previously mentioned restaurants. The main courses are ordered à la carte and appetizers and desserts are served as a buffet. The taste is also very good and delicious selection, almost like in Italy, if you still get hungry at the end, then you can of course help yourself to the buffet.
Steakhouse in the RIU Atoll
The Steakhouse is also located on the other island and offers different steak variations as à la carte. The restaurant is rather simple and is not air-conditioned compared to the other theme restaurants. Taste also very good and tasty selection.
Dhoni main restaurant of the RIU Atoll
The "Dhoni" is completely comparable to "The Palm", but much louder and more guests. Is therefore only an alternative if you happen to be on the island.

General tips
1st tip: The restaurants can be booked 3 days in advance. Punctually are released at 0 o'clock in the app for all guests. Do not think long, otherwise the seats can already be gone during the booking.
2nd tip: Now and then you are also lucky during the day when someone cancels.
3rd tip: If there are two of you, try to select 1 pax (1 person) in the app and specify the second person in the comment, so you also have a higher chance of getting a place.
