ES BOLDADO Michelin Guide 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 reaching Cala d’Hort. After about 3 kilometres, you will see the sign for Es Boldado on your left. Turn onto this road and drive down the dusty camino (dirt track) for approximately 1.5 kilometres, and you will be rewarded with the best view of Ibiza. If you’re looking for a

CAN SALINAS MANUEL EL REY DE LA FIDEUÀ To find this restaurant, head past the church on the way to Ses Salinas. It is on the left, just before the turnoff to Platja des Cavallet, just before Salinas Beach. This family-run restaurant serves excellent Valencian-style paella and fideuà away from the busy summer crowds of Ibiza. Fideuà is a dialectal pronunciation of the Valencian or Catalan word fideuada (which means a large number of noodles). It is a seafood dish originally fr

RESTAURANTE EL MIRADOR With almost the entire island stretched out before you, stunning panoramic views across Ibiza and Es Vedrá are in the distance. There is no more incredible view of Formentera than from the terrace here. Found high on a hilltop, this rustic restaurant and cafeteria is open in the morning for the early birds to take a coffee and an ensaïmada (a croissant-like pastry made with lard (pig fat), not butter). You can try their traditional food from 1 to 4 pm f

HOSTAL RESTAURANTE CAPRI Located around 100 metres from the seafront in the little tourist village of Es Pujols, this restaurant/hostal is one of the island’s oldest (since 1963) and has always been owned by the same family. If you are looking for 100% fresh fish, seafood, and rice dishes in a non-hectic, calming place with white tablecloths and pressed napkins, a relaxed atmosphere, and trained cooks who know what they are doing, well, you have come to the right place. Capri

BODEGUITA 1999 This was our second visit to this restaurant, just off the seafront in Alicante City. They specialise in anchovies and different cuts of steak. Chuletón, entrecot, solomillo, and many more, so make your choice. Antxoas del Cantabrico (anchovies from Cantabria). Txuleton en la mesa with fries and piquillo peppers. Pimientos del piquillo confitados. Txuleton a la plancha on the second visit. With a tremendous fresh salad. Also available are staples like Croquetas

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. It is still a stunning spot and venue if it suits your pocket. 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

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

SA TRENKA RESTAURANT We decided to take a trip up north of the Island from Sant Antoni (San Antonio) to a beach and restaurant we had not been to before. We found a stunning beach, Calla Martina, and a charming, unpretentious chiringuito with a great vibe that specialised in rice dishes and seafood. The perfect ‘alternative’ Ibiza to some trendy, expensive places south of the Island. We booked a table for 2 pm and then walked along the beach. On returning to Sa Trenka, we ord

RESTUARANT EL RACÓ DE L'AGÜIR A guest review by Siddu Amin. We came to this restaurant in 2023, which the Agüir family has been running since 1990. It is a modern classic in the Sant Antoni neighbourhood and offers an innovative touch on market cuisine and excellent Alcoi-style rice dishes The restaurant is unassuming, but everything is prepared well with fresh ingredients. They turn even simple dishes like bread with tomato into something special. Which is what we started wi

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!
