ARAGMA IBIZA We visited Aragma Ibiza, the sister restaurant of Tapas in Sant Antoni de Portmany. The restaurant is located in a fantastic spot with views of the marina. It is overseen by a talented Greek head chef who prepares authentic, homemade dishes inspired by Greek cuisine. These shared-dining offerings are of exceptional quality and made with the freshest ingredients. Each dish is both delicious and surprisingly original. We started with three alhmbra cañas Our meal in

RESTAURANTE ES PUETÓ This is a traditional beach bar, or chiringuito, with an Ibicencan heritage that dates back to 1969. Unfortunately, 2026 may be the last year we can enjoy it, as it is scheduled for demolition at the end of the year due to the Costas rule. This regulation aims to restore the coastline by removing beach bars and restaurants. The chiringuito is located directly on the beach in Cala de Bou, and this friendly family-run bar is loved by locals and tourists ali

RESTAURANTE CA’S PAGES This is one of the most historic restaurants in northern Ibiza. It is run by two sisters, Carmen and Lucia, whose family started offering their traditional Ibiçencan cooking in 1972. It is situated in the basement of the family home and in the shaded, planted garden at the back. The beautiful partially covered outdoor seating area is filled with greenery and bathed in soft lighting. Arrive early to have a wider choice of seating. You will find large, lo

EL BIGOTES The Fish Shack at Cala Mastella is also known as El Bigotes, which translates to “The Moustache” a nod to the proprietor’s distinctive whiskers. El Bigotes will be remembered for sitting at his table every lunchtime while enjoying a flagon of his favourite red wine with his fish and rice. Sadly, he passed away in 2025 at nearly 100 years old. His funeral was massive on the island, with everyone paying their respects. Rest in peace, El Bigotes, and thank you for you

RESTAURANT CALA d’HORT (CA NA VERGERA) This mythical restaurant is also known as Ca na Vergera (the nickname of the family that continues to own and work here). It is one of the last authentic places left in Ibiza’s south. In the late sixties, Joan Vergera acquired the restaurant's land and built a small hut where his wife could work. Joan went fishing with his llaüt, a small Ibicencan fishing boat named “Adolfo.” When he returned, his wife, Maria, prepared a meal with the ca

BAR ANITA - CA N’ANNETA Bar Anita in Sant Carles/San Carlos Located in Sant Carles (San Carlos), a tiny village (near Santa Eulària des Riu), next to Sant Carles de Peralta church, this old bar and restaurant is one of the most famous and loved in Ibiza. It became a must for bohemians and intellectuals in rural northern Ibiza. For many, it is one of the few remnants of the bygone hippy era, and probably even the last. This place invites you to spend a relaxing afternoon over

IBIZA’S FAMOUS CHIRINGUITOS HAVE STARTED TO OPEN AROUND THE ISLAND. Sunbeds and plastic chairs suddenly appear. Wooden tables are dragged across sand that sat empty all winter, and music quietly drifts across the empty sand out to sea. CLICK HERE TO SEE A FEW OF THE CHIRINGUITOS DOTTED AROUND THE ISLAND And just like that, after months of silence and closed shutters, the chiringuito is open again. Where does the word actually come from, and it’s not Spain; Chiringuitos d

RESTAURANTE VENTORRILLO DEL CHATO This restaurant is a beautiful historic Goya-esque 18th-century roadhouse, situated near the beach dunes, an oasis in the heart of a desert strip. Jose Manuel Cordoba makes magic with fish here. We come here for the Tortillitas de Camarones (shrimp fritters). The ones here are larger but also incredibly crispy, with more batter edges and significantly more shrimp than any others we had. They are great with a cold fino sherry. Other excellen

CASA BIGOTE Michelin Bib Gourmand It was in 1951 when a local sailor, Fernando Hermoso, opened a despacho de Vinos selling manzanilla to fishermen. Fernando grew an Errol Flynn-style moustache, and his friends started calling him “El Bigote”. Manzanilla, a salty, extremely dry sherry (the salt comes from the local bodegas’ proximity to the sea air), originates from Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and you will still find it on almost every table. In 1970, Fernando Jr. took over t
