IBIZA - SANT ANTONI DE PORTMANY - RESTAURANTE ES VENTALL 2021

RESTAURANTE ES VENTALL Michelin Plate IIO

August 2021

A visit to Sant Antoni de Portmany (San Antonio) during the Covid hit summer of 2021 saw us return to one of our favourite restaurants in town.

Since 2005, with the younger José Miguel Bonet in charge, the traditional dishes have been given a slightly more inventive twist but still include, many of the Island favourites. There are all the various rice dishes, like paella, fideuá, arroz a banda and bullit de peix, as well as fish and seafood. The restaurant was totally refurbished in early 2018.

On this balmy July evening, we were early, most people were sitting in the beautiful garden area.

We tucked into the following.

Tartar de tomate de nuestro huerto con sorbete de AOVE (Our harvest tomato tartar with EVOO sorbet).

Ensalada ibicenca de pimientos asados con sardina ahumada y aceite de oliva de Ibiza (Roasted red peppers salad with smoked sardine and olive oil from Ibiza).

Croquetas de gamba ibicenca con mahonesa de ají (Ibiza prawn croquets with aji mayonnaise).

Bombas de patata ibicenca con salsa brava y steak tartar de solomillo de ternera .

Stuffed potatoes with spicy brava sauce and steak tartar.

A selection of starters.

To drink we had Belondrade & Lurton Verdejo 2019 D.O.Rueda.
