IBIZA - SANT ANTONI DE PORTMANY - ES VENTALL IBIZA - POST 3
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. The restaurant was refurbished in early 2018.
There is plenty of well-spaced seating inside or in the lush garden courtyard.
You can see all the food being prepared in the modern open kitchen.
We started with pan casero y aceite de Ibiza (homemade bread and Ibizan olive oil).
Tartar de lubina con aguacate, manzana verde y crujiente de alga nori.
Seabass tartare with avocado, green apple and crispy nori seaweed.
Croqueta de gamba ibicenca con mahonesa de ají y sashimi de gambas.
Ibizan prawn croquette with chilli mayonnaise and gambusí sashimi.
Gambas al ajillo (sizzling garlic prawns).
Albóndigas de ternera y cerdo negro, cremoso de céleri, jugo de carne y verduras (veal and black Iberian pork meatballs, with creamy celery, meat jus and vegetables).
To drink, we had Can Rich Blanco Ecológico (Ibiza) Malvasía y Chardonnay. The main courses were Canelones de pollo payés con bechamel de setas y jugo de asado (country chicken cannelloni with mushroom bechamel and roast juice).
Cabrito Confitado (kid goat confit).
Berenjena asada (roasted/charred aubergine).
All were served with patatas fritas. To drink, we had Can Rich Negro D'Àmfora Ecológico (Ibiza) Monastrell, 12 meses en ánfora.
For dessert,
Carpaccio de sandía a baja temperatura con aceite de hierbabuena y sorbete de gin-tonic (watermelon carpaccio at low temperature with mint oil and gin-and-tonic sorbet).
Brownie de chocolate con helado de caramelo a la sal y praliné de cacahuete (chocolate brownie with salted caramel ice cream and peanut praliné).
Milhojas de pistacho y albahaca con sorbete de limón y jengibre (pistachio and basil mille-feuille with lemon and ginger sorbet).
To finish, we had the traditional copito (a small shot) of Hierbas Ibicencas on the house.
Much of the produce/vegetables comes from their own garden/orchard. They are cooked over firewood, which gives the dishes a unique flavour. We are happy to report that service and food are still of a high standard.
