RESTAURANT SA CALETA UPDATE 2026 - The beach opposite the restaurant, Es Bol Nou, is now closed for safety reasons. This also applies to the viewing tunnel on the left of the beach. The restaurant is still open. 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

RESTAURANT ES XARCU Michelin Plate IIO UPDATED JULY 2026 Es Xarcu has finally returned to the sea. Two years prior, they had to relocate to the village of Es Cubells. Although the menu was excellent and the food was outstanding, the atmosphere just wasn't quite the same. The good news is they have returned to their familiar, beloved location! For more than three decades, Mariano Torres and his wife have been managing this chiringuito, a favourite among numerous b

CHIRINGUITO CALA ESCONDIDA IBIZA UPDATE AUGUST 2026 - CHIRINGUITO ESCONDIDA sadly lost the tenure of this spot after being massively outbid and has now moved to the far end of Platja d’en Bossa. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy, and locals say this was the only part of the beach that they could use without noise and commercial properties. The new tenant, CasaNua, opened in late July 2026 to mixed reviews. This was the previous incarnation. The walk to Platges de Comte, in

RESTAURANTE ES CUCÓ This restaurant is located on the outskirts of Cala de Bou, moving inland. It is an excellent place to stop for a drink or some reasonably priced food. It is famous for its pollo al ast (traditional rotisserie style, split-roast chicken) with black pepper sauce. Served with chips and salad. We started with a warm goat’s cheese salad. It is a great, cheap meal. The chicken costs €11.50 without sauce and €14 with sauce. In addition to the chicken, you will

RESTAURANTE ES BOLDADO Michelin Guide During our trip to Ibiza in mid-March, we visited one of our favourite restaurants, Es Boldado. To reach it from Sant Josep to Cala d’Hort, take the last right turn toward Cala Truja. 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. You will be rewarded with the best view of Ibiza. If you’re seeking a restauran

RESTAURANT CALA d’HORT (CA NA VERGERA) This mythical restaurant is also known as Ca na Vergera (the nickname of the family that continues to own and work here). It is one of the last authentic places left in Ibiza’s south. In the late sixties, Joan Vergera acquired the restaurant's land and built a small hut where his wife could work. Joan went fishing with his llaüt, a small Ibicencan fishing boat named “Adolfo.” When he returned, his wife, Maria, prepared a meal with the ca

RESTAURANT CAN VICENT PER PEDRO Y MARI When you arrive at Cala Carbó, in the south west of the island, you will come across Can Vicent. Can Vicent is a traditional Ibizan family restaurant, typical of the island’s old hospitality culture. It began as a family-run, simple chiringuito, serving fishermen, locals, and early visitors. Pedro y Mari refers to the family members who later ran it. The restaurant's history spans several decades, evolving gradually like many of Ibiza’s

RESTAURANTE CA N’ESMERALDA This restaurant has been in operation for a few years. It is situated in a secluded location, hidden away from the main town area of Sant Antoni de Portmany (San Antonio Abad), near the end of Cala de Bou, overlooking San Antonio Bay. We popped in for a light lunch (do we really have light lunches?) and tried the following. Pan con aioli Papas asadas, alioli, hilos de chile y nuestro ingrediente especial (roasted potatoes, aioli, chilli threads, an

LA SCROLLER We returned to this atmospheric beach restaurant mid-March on a sunny Monday lunchtime. We sat outside on the lovely terrace overlooking Playa Es Cavallet, as the weather was good. In winter, seaweed is left on the beach to protect the sand; it is usually removed for the summer. If the weather is inclement, you can sit in the large dining room, which has a lovely open fire, for chillier low-season or winter dining. We started with a few aperitifs. Alioli con pan

RESTAURANTE CA’S MILÁ Michelin Plate IIO We revisited the stunning restaurant, which is high up and overlooks the great beach of Cala Tarida, in September 2025. It features a fabulous terrace area overlooking the sea, bathed in sunshine. The restaurant opened in 1987, and today, it is run by the second generation of the Milà family. The view of the stunning beach at Cala Tarida from the restaurant. As it was pretty windy, we chose to sit inside on this occasion and starte
