RESTAURANTE CAN PUJOL

We returned to Can Pujol in September 2024 after previously visiting during the height of COVID-19 in 2020 and all the restrictions involved. It was great to see everything seemed to be back to normal. Can Pujol started as a small snack bar over thirty years ago and is now a no-frills Restaurant serving superb seafood.

We decided to try dishes we had not had in previous visits and started with some ostras (oysters.

Almejas Marinera (clams in fishermens sauce).

Parrillada mixta de pescado (mixed fish grill).

Paella de langosta.

Lobster paella.

The food was excellent, as expected. To finish the meal, we were served a considerable quantity of Carlos I brandy, which required a little siesta later in the afternoon. However, be aware that no meat is served here.

The following were from our visit in 2020.

All the seafood dishes are based on traditional Ibicencan recipes.

There is an open kitchen that allows you to see all the chefs busy at work.

There is a live tank where you can choose your lobster.

You must try El Bullit de Peix con Arroz a Banda de Can Pujol, the house classic.

The dish has two courses. The first is soup-like and made with local rockfish in a saffron broth.

Followed by Arroz a Banda,

A paella-like rice dish made with the fish stock from the first course plus small cuttlefish pieces.

All the local dishes, like paella and fideuà and whiskey lobster (the other house classic), are available. A large fish dish, baked in the oven, to share would be another excellent choice.

Local desserts and wine are available and reasonably priced. The service was friendly and helpful, especially considering the need to wear a COVID mask in these times of social distancing.
