SA CAPELLA UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2024 Like quite a few venues in San Antonio, Sa Capella has been taken over by Grupo Mambo. It is still a...

RESTAURANTE CAN BERRI VELL When you arrive in the lovely little village of  Sant Agustí des Vedrà , opposite the village church, You will find an excellent traditional restaurant. This was once a 17th-century home and is now a lovely, romantic, candle-lit spot with a delightful terrace area overrun with greenery. The restaurant has been open for 30 years, and once you get inside, you will be in an authentic rural Ibicencan home. There are different rooms, small & large, with

HOSTAL RESTAURANTE FONDA POU DES LLEÓ This perfect little hostal is in a delightful country setting, about 50 meters from the coast and the beautiful coves of Pou des Lleó and Canal d'en Marti, where you can swim and sunbathe. There is an outside terrace and an indoor dining room. It has a lovely little swimming pool, so it's great for chilling out with friends and catching the sun. It's perfect if you have young children. This hostal is a few rooms above a traditional local

ES BOLDADO Michelin Plate IIO This review contains three different trips to Restaurante Es Boldado in Cala d'hort. When driving from Sant Josep to Cala d'Hort, take the last right turn to Cala Truja before you reach Cala d'Hort. After about 3 km, you will see the sign for Es Boldado on your left. Turn on this road and drive down the dusty Camino (dirt track) for around 1.5km, and you will see the best view of Ibiza. If you want a Restaurant with a view, this is the one

RESTAURANTE CASA SALVADOR We recently returned to Casa Salvador and found it as good as ever. It is located in the La Albufera rice-growing area of Valéncia, in the estuary of Cullera, a freshwater lagoon that flows into the sea. It is not easy to find. Make your way over the bridge in Cullera along the back road (CV-605) > right at Via pista > left at Poligon num 28 Estany > right onto Avenida de Estany) If you feel lost, don't turn back, it's worth it in the end! Two ind

LA MARITERRANEA Our friend Jonathon Lipsin is back in Formentera for the summer. Here is his visit to La Mariterranea. I walked by this raffish-looking restaurant last night. It has a funky patio and an equally funky kitchen, where a cook feverishly works over a fire and multiple pots and paella pans. This could be The Place, I thought to myself. You know, that place that is off the main road, away from the fancy high-end restaurants where the food makes all the difference, a

ASADOR LA PERDIDA Michelin Plate IIO This incredible spot is just outside Sevilla, in a stunning old hacienda. The hacienda has been completely renovated with beautiful indoor spaces and outside terraces to enjoy this unique gastronomic experience and setting. It is a place for carnivores, and the fantastic meat comes from the livestock raised naturally and ecologically in the Riberas del Guadaíra, a unique and protected natural environment less than 20 km from Sevilla. T

A Food experience across the border in Porto, Portugal by Jonathon Lipsin RESTAURANTE FLÔR DO BALDO Today, my friends took me here in Porto, Portugal, to a working man's restaurant seemingly in the middle of nowhere. It is by a river with big trees not unlike those in California looming outside the windows of an industrial-style, huge dining room. There is a wood-fired oven and long banquet-type tables, all with dishes set upside down as is the custom here. True enough, cl

RESTAURANTE AMA LUR This famous restaurant has been an institution for over 35 years. Just before the COVID-19 disaster, the owners decided to close after all that time. In October 2021, new owners, whose story started in Formentera with a paradise called Can Carlos, reopened Ama Lur with the same ambitions but a new Italian style. The restaurant has had a makeover and is now in stunning blue to match the Ibicenco sky and sea. From its previous yellow. On a roundabout on the

CASA MACA (HOTEL RURAL ES TRULL DE CAN PALAU) UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2022 Hotel Rural Es Trull de Can Palau was taken over by the Mambo Group around 2019 and renamed Casa Maca, so I don't know if the information is correct. I believe they now have a minimum spend policy of €150 per person (to be paid in advance) and limit the table to a maximum of 2.5 hours. Many have complained that it is significantly overpriced. It is still a great venue, but you should be aware of the chang
