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

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

We had the highly recommended Crema de pistacho (pistachio cream) for dessert. We had a bottle of the very acce

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

LA JOSEFITA IBIZA La Josefita is a lovely little restaurant in the backstreets of Sant Antoni de Portmany (San Antonio), near the infamous West End, which is currently undergoing a massive transformation.

On a warm evening, we sat outside and opened a

ARAGMA IBIZA We visited Aragma Ibiza, the sister restaurant of Tapas in Sant Antoni de Portmany, and we were very impressed.  The restaurant is set in a great spot overlooking the Marina. It is led by a talented Greek head chef who serves authentic, homemade, Greek-inspired shared-dining dishes of sublime quality, crafted with the freshest ingredients. These dishes are delicious and surprisingly original. Our meal included, Tzatziki (cool & refreshing Greek yoghurt with cucum

Discovering Authentic Ibicencan Cuisine CAFETERÍA CA'N JORDI - LAS PUERTAS DE CIELO If you plan to visit, you'll need a car or a bicycle.
