ILLA DES CANAR Replacing the former Mar Bella on this site, this new restaurant opened in July 2024. They serve delicious, typical Ibicencan food in an unbeatable location on the beach, with stunning sea views and prices not generally seen on the island for such quality. There is no beach club stuff here, with the new owner being a local Ibicencan. Some of the dishes available include, Ensalada de Costras (typical of Formentera, bread crust and dried fish) Humus y parrilla de

RESTAURANT SA CALETA We returned to our old favourite, Restaurant Sa Caleta, during a spring trip to Ibiza. On this occasion, we had lunch, which included Almejas Marinera (clams in a fisherman's style) Endivias, queso azul Roquefort, miel y nueces (Endives, Roquefort blue cheese, honey & walnuts).

RESTAURANTE SA SOCA On the way to Sant Agustí from Sant Antoni, you will find this traditional, rustic, charming restaurant. Although it does not look exceptional from the outside, it would be easy to drive past. The entrance has a small bar area, with simple wooden chairs and tables, and small dining rooms with a fireplace. Once inside, you will find its large, vine-covered inner terrace, overgrown with plants, and a quiet countryside landscape twinkling in the background. T

CAFÉ BAR FLOTANTE The mythical Bar Flotante (floating bar) is set on the shore of the stunning Platja de Talamanca, just outside Eivissa (Ibiza Town).  Along with its neighbour, Hostal Talamanca, it has been here since the 1960s. Serving locals and tourists alike. You will find nothing fancy here, nor do you need it. The service isn't great or fast, but if you're on vacation and not on the run, you can enjoy the ambience for as long as you like. The food is basic but decent,

EL CHIRINGUITO CALA GRACIONETA UPDATE SEPTEMBER 2025 This is another place taken over by Grupo Mambo in recent years, so it's no longer the place it used to be. Expect much higher prices if you go.

A rough guide to the price list. €5 Croquetas each €49 Pulpo (octopus, small leg) €46 Solomillo (no sides) €25 Padron peppers €14 Patatas fritas €10 Water Wine (all expensive) PREVIOUS VISITS From Sant Antoni de Por

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

ASADOR CAN PILOT We returned to Restaurante Asador Can Pilot, an old favourite in the small inland village of Sant Rafel de sa Creu (San Rafael). Since 1989, it has been an excellent place for traditional Spanish food, especially BBQ meat. The traditional, rustic Restaurant is always busy, and sometimes you may have to wait in the vibrant bar. There is a large BBQ grill in one corner of the room. The room is furnished with traditional Ibicencan wooden tables and chairs. We ha

Bernadette and I drove to the ferry and boarded an 8 am boat to Ibiza. We landed at the old familiar dock and went down the street to Mar y Sol Café. Since opening in the twenties, this has been the spot to grab a good coffee and breakfast, watch people, and meet people. "Meet you at Mar y Sol" is the standard reply for a discreet or otherwise

After meeting Jonathon Lipsin and Bernadette Mundy on Facebook through our shared love of Ibiza, Formentera, and music, I invited them to Ibiza each year for a day-long tour of the Island, with food, fun, and frolics. This was to be our second trip. After their short sea trip from Formentera, we met at our usual meeting place outside the Café Mar y Sol in Ibiza Town. This time, my friends from London, Danny and Pankaj, joined us. Once settled in our hire car, I gave them a

This was traditionally the first port of call when disembarking your boat or ship in Ibiza town. After their short sea trip from Formentera, my friend Frank joine
