RESTAURANTE ES CUCÓ

This restaurant is located on the outskirts of Cala de Bou, heading inland. It is an excellent place to stop for a drink or some reasonably priced food.

Es Cucó Ibiza began as a family business in the 1960s, founded by Vicent Marí and Pepa de Can Garxò des Pou. Originally a traditional local shop with a small bar attached, it became a popular meeting place for locals and workers from the area’s developing hotels. In 1977, the shop and bar were separated, and the restaurant developed into the Es Cucó we know today. In 1988, the kitchen was enlarged, and the restaurant installed its first rotisserie. The pollo a l’ast soon became a house speciality and remains one of the restaurant’s most popular dishes. Today, Es Cucó remains a family business in its third generation.

Current menu 2026.

It is famous for its pollo a l’ast (half a traditional rotisserie-style, split-roast chicken) with black pepper sauce.

Or with chicken gravy, served with chips and salad.

We started with a warm goat’s cheese salad.

It is a great, cheap meal. The chicken costs €15 without sauce and €17.80 with sauce.

In addition to the chicken, you will find boquerones (anchovies in oil with garlic and vinegar), calamares (squid), pulpo (octopus), and chuletas de cordero (lamb chops). There is also an excellent counter for takeaway tapas.
