RESTAURANTE ES VENTALL Michelin Plate IIO Es Ventall Ibiza is one of our favourite restaurants in Sant Antoni de Portmany (San Antonio): The restaurant has been open for over 35 years. Since 2005, when the younger José Miguel Bonet took over, the traditional dishes have been given a much more inventive twist. However, they still include many of the island’s favourites. These include rice dishes, such as paella, fideuá, arroz a banda, bullit de peix, and fish and seafood. Th

RESTAURANT CAMI DE BALÀFIA If you fancy something big and meaty in the evening (sorry, vegetarians, but this is probably not for you!), drive up restaurant Road, officially known as Carretera San Joan de Labritja (it’s the second-to-last restaurant on the left, on the stretch of road going to the village of San Joan de Labritja from Eivissa (Ibiza Town).

COMIDAS BAR SAN JUAN UPDATE AUGUST 2026 – Comidas Bar San Juan remains closed. Despite suggestions that the premises might eventually reopen under new ownership, we can find no confirmation of a new owner or reopening date.

In February 2025, Carlos Marí stated that the family had decided it was time to cease operations, and the report clearly mentioned it would not reopen

KIOSKO CALA LLENYA In 2025, we were asked about the status of the chiringuito in Cala Llenya. Previous social media reports had claimed that CBBC had taken it over, but fortunately, this was not the case. Both the Ayuntamiento de Santa Eulària des Riu and CBBC confirmed that the chiringuito remains independent. As a result, the charm of this beautiful family beach on the island’s east side is preserved for this season. The chiringuito is open again, featuring a new roof! You
