RESTAURANTE CABO NORTE This excellent little Restaurant is hidden up a side street off the main promenade in Mojácar Playa, near the Europcar car rental. Upon entering, you arrive in the bar and Restaurant area. When the weather is excellent, you can eat outside in the lovely enclosed garden area. On this pleasant summer evening, we had Mini gazpachos. Carpaccio de presa Ibérica (presa is a cut of meat from the shoulder of the Iberico pig). Carpaccio de atún (tuna). Pimient

RESTAURANTE ALMA DE MIGUEL We eat at this restaurant quite often; it is predominantly a fish restaurant, located in the pedestrian centre of Estepona's old town.  There is plenty of seating outside for the warmer months, and in the winter, you will find plenty of indoor seating, with a large gazebo attached to the restaurant. The restaurant is run by Miquel & his sister, who oversee all the staff & they are exceptional hosts. The food is always good, with a variety of fresh f

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

CHIRINGUITO SA FERRADURA (EL PIRATA) To find this great little Kiosk and beach, turn left at the sign for the Hacienda Na Xamena Hotel and Spa on the way down to Port de Sant Miquel Road (before you reach the port). At around halfway, you must take the right-hand fork turn and drive for approximately 2 km along a quite testing, bumpy Camino (un-tarmacked road) to arrive at the bay. The Kiosk with the pirate flag is situated on the beach and serves good-value meat dishes, fish

Our friend Terry Soper has just spent a week in the Northeast of Ibiza at the family-friendly resort of Es Cana. This is the 6th year in a row he has stayed here, so it comes highly recommended.

ES PINS When heading north of the Island on the famous Restaurant Road towards Sant Joan de Labritja, you will find this old-school, traditional roadside Restaurant, Es Pins. There is plenty of parking outside the Restaurant, which serves mainly Ibicencan staples such as roast lamb, pork chops, rabbit, pan-fried halibut, paella, and arroz de Matanzas (a traditional Ibicencan dish usually made in winter after the pig slaughter using pork, chorizo sausages, rice, and spices su

SES OLIVERES A guest review from Siddu Amin. This beautiful terraced Restaurant has a handful of tables outside the entrance, which may appeal to those wanting a closer look at the old wooden trams that descend from Sollér up in the hills. We arrived on Sunday afternoon, having tried and failed to book a table over the phone the previous day. There is no online booking option, so you'll need to call or book in person. Thankfully, the manager squeezed us in on the day, and we

ANTONIO BAR If you sometimes need a change of pintxo bars from the Parte Vieja (old town) or the Gros area across the bridge, head to the central location and Antonio Bar. It's an unassuming, tiny place that's always busy, with primarily local customers. You will find a few seats inside by the bar and more outside, where the jovial waiter will serve you. Finding a space may take a minute, but the turnover is quick. It is a great spot to enjoy, Txistorra (spicy sausage and cri

CASA JULIAN In March 2025, we returned to this remarkable, easy-to-miss little Restaurant, now famous on TV, in the Basque countryside town of Tolosa, 28 km inland from San Sebastián. Tolosa is a town and municipality in the Basque province of Gipuzkoa in northern Spain . It is located in the valley of the Oria River , and Casa Julian is directly across from the river. Once you find the Restaurant and walk in, you might think you are in the wrong place. You will see an are
