RESTAURANTE ES PUETÓ This is a traditional beach bar, or chiringuito, with an Ibicencan heritage that dates back to 1969. Unfortunately, 2026 may be the last year we can enjoy it, as it is scheduled for demolition at the end of the year due to the Costas rule. This regulation aims to restore the coastline by removing beach bars and restaurants. The chiringuito is located directly on the beach in Cala de Bou, and this friendly family-run bar is loved by locals and tourists ali

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

RESTAURANTE ES BOLDADO Michelin Guide We visited one of our favourite restaurants, Es Boldado, during our mid-March trip to Ibiza. To get there from Sant Josep to Cala d’Hort, take the last right turn toward Cala Truja. After about 3 kilometres, you’ll see the sign for Es Boldado on the left. Turn onto this road and drive down the dusty Camino (dirt track) for approximately 1.5 kilometres. You will be treated to the best view of Ibiza. If you’re looking for a restaurant wi

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

RESTAURANTE REAL BALNEARIO DE SALINAS One Michelin Star This restaurant, which has one Michelin star in the 2017 rating, is situated right at the end of this stunning little surfers’ beach in the seaside town of Salinas on the Asturian coast.

ASADOR LA CHUMBERA MIchelin Plate IIO Update January 2026: Asador La Chumbera has moved from its original place just outside Agua Amarga to a new spot overlooking the beach in what was previously the Restaurante Playa. It is still hands down one of the best restaurants in the Cabo de Gata, and its new idyllic location overlooking Agua Amarga’s stunning little beach adds to the enjoyment. The handling of the grill is still masterful. Highly, highly recommended if you’re in t
