RESTAURANT CALA d'HORT (CA NA VERGERA)

This mythical Restaurant is also known as Ca na Vergera (which is the nickname of the family that continues to own and work here). It is one of the last authentic places left in the south of Ibiza.

In the late sixties, Joan Vergera acquired the Restaurant's land and built a small hut where his wife could work.

He went fishing with his llaüt (small Ibicencan fishing boat), the "Adolfo," when he returned, his wife Maria cooked what he had brought. The clientele mainly comprised other fishermen from the area, as tourism had not yet reached Cala d'Hort.

The beach was so inaccessible by road that Joan had to bring supplies by sea. Eventually, the road came to Cala d'Hort, and Restaurant Ca na Vergera became popular.

In the mid-eighties, the Restaurant expanded and became what it is today, with its privileged terrace overlooking the mysterious and mystical islets of Es Vedrá and Es Vedranell.

The couple's eldest son manages the Restaurant. His six brothers and sisters work in the kitchen, while other relatives and friends serve customers. It is a simple place in a tropical paradise where fish and rice dishes are served in true Ibicencan style.

Local bread, olives, and homemade aioli.
