IBIZA - SANT ANTONI DE PORTMANY - CAN RAMONET
CAN RAMONET UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2025: We believe the restaurant is now owned by Pikes Hotel (just down the road), so prices, opening times, and conditions may have changed. This is a typical roadside café/bar/restaurant you will find when driving inland in Ibiza. It's a great place to disconnect from the island's hustle and bustle. Just past Pikes, on the way from Sant Antoni de Portmany (San Antonio), we stopped one day for a quick cold drink. A very happy waitress was singin


IBIZA - SANT ANTONY DE PORTMANY - S-MARI COCINA BAR
I've walked past S-Mari Cocina Bar countless times, thinking it was just another hostal with a bar. I even had breakfast there once, ages ago. But a friend recommended it for dinner, and I decided to give it another shot. To my surprise, it turned out to be a classy and welcoming local Restaurant. It's a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle of central San Antonio. Breakfast Bliss Every morning, they offer a fantastic breakfast selection. If you're craving a traditiona

IBIZA - SANT JOSEP - CALA DE BOU - CHIRINGUITO ES PUETÓ
RESTAURANTE ES PUETÓ This is a traditional beach bar/chiringuito, situated directly on the beach in Cala de Bou, with an Ibicencan heritage dating back to 1969. They serve traditional Ibicencan beach food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This time, we tried the excellent Ensalada de tomate burrata (tomato & burrata salad), followed by, Chiperones fritos (fried baby squid) Merluza (hake) Choco (cuttlefish) Also available were, Gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns) Rodaballo (turbo

IBIZA - CALA DE BOU - RESTAURANTE CAN PUJOL
RESTAURANTE CAN PUJOL We returned to Can Pujol in September 2025, after previously visiting during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when all the restrictions were in place. It was great to see everything seemed to be back to normal. Can Pujol started as a small snack bar over thirty years ago and is now a no-frills restaurant serving superb seafood. Pan con alioli We had a few dishes we had not had in previous visits, and started with some zambariñas (scallops) Al

IBIZA - PORTINATX - CHIRINGUITO CALA D'EN SERRA AND THE ABANDONED HOTEL
CHIRINGUITO CALA D'EN SERRA UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2025 You will see the sign for Cala d'en Serra on the right, just before you arrive in Portinatx. Follow the road until the tarmac ends and park. You can see the beach below, a small horseshoe bay with satellite coves nearby. The sandy beach boasts clean, clear water and was once named one of Europe's best beaches by The Guardian newspaper. Cliffs surround the bay. Beware: the access is steep (not great for young children and


IBIZA - SANT JOSEP - RESTAURANT ES XARCU
RESTAURANT ES XARCU Michelin Plate IIO UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2025 Es Xarcu is finally back at sea. Two years ago, they were forced to move to the village of Es Cubells. The menu was great, and the food was fantastic, but the vibe just wasn't the same. The good news is they are back at their old, trusted spot! For more than 30 years, Mariano Torres and his wife have been running this chiringuito, which is very popular with the many boats and their fancy owners who st


IBIZA - EIVISSA (IBIZA TOWN) - COMIDAS BAR SAN JUAN
COMIDAS BAR SAN JUAN UPDATED OCTOBER 2025 - The restaurant is currently closed, possibly awaiting new owners, which is a massive shame. The owners of this unpretentious tapas bar remain impervious to Ibiza's trendiness, refusing to change its wood-panelled décor and traditional Spanish menu. It has always been one of the cheapest places to eat in Eivissa (Ibiza Town). There is new staff at the bar San Juan in June 2024, completely different opening hours, and a moderate pr
