RESTAURANTE ES PUETÓ This is a traditional beach bar, or chiringuito, with an Ibicencan heritage that dates back to 1969. Unfortunately, 2026 may be the last year we can enjoy it, as it is scheduled for demolition at the end of the year due to the Costas rule. This regulation aims to restore the coastline by removing beach bars and restaurants. The chiringuito is located directly on the beach in Cala de Bou, and this friendly family-run bar is loved by locals and tourists ali

CHIRINGUITO SES BOQUES This rustic and authentic chiringuito is located at the end of a long, steep road descending from the little village of Es Cubells since 1974. It is nestled among pine trees and offers a complete view of a small pebble beach. To get to the restaurant, take a left turn just before you reach the Es Cubells church. After around a mile, you will see the sign for the restaurant on the left-hand side of the cliff road as you go down the hill. After a steep de

RESTAURANTE CA’S PAGES This is one of the most historic restaurants in northern Ibiza. It is run by two sisters, Carmen and Lucia, whose family started offering their traditional Ibiçencan cooking in 1972. It is situated in the basement of the family home and in the shaded, planted garden at the back.

EL BIGOTES The Fish Shack at Cala Mastella is also known as El Bigotes, which translates to “The Moustache” a nod to the proprietor’s distinctive whiskers. El Bigotes will be remembered for sitting at his table every lunchtime while enjoying a flagon of his favourite red wine with his fish and rice. Sadly, he passed away in 2025 at nearly 100 years old. His funeral was massive on the island, with everyone paying their respects. Rest in peace, El Bigotes, and thank you for you

RESTAURANT CALA d’HORT (CA NA VERGERA) This mythical restaurant is also known as Ca na Vergera (the nickname of the family that continues to own and work here). It is one of the last authentic places left in Ibiza’s south. In the late sixties, Joan Vergera acquired the restaurant's land and built a small hut where his wife could work. Joan went fishing with his llaüt, a small Ibicencan fishing boat named “Adolfo.” When he returned, his wife, Maria, prepared a meal with the ca

RESTAURANTE ES BOLDADO Michelin Guide We visited one of our favourite restaurants, Es Boldado, during our mid-March trip to Ibiza. To get there from Sant Josep to Cala d’Hort, take the last right turn toward Cala Truja. After about 3 kilometres, you’ll see the sign for Es Boldado on the left. Turn onto this road and drive down the dusty Camino (dirt track) for approximately 1.5 kilometres. You will be treated to the best view of Ibiza. If you’re looking for a restaurant wi

BAR ANITA - CA N’ANNETA Bar Anita in Sant Carles/San Carlos Located in Sant Carles (San Carlos), a tiny village (near Santa Eulària des Riu), next to Sant Carles de Peralta church, this old bar and restaurant is one of the most famous and loved in Ibiza. It became a must for bohemians and intellectuals in rural northern Ibiza. For many, it is one of the few remnants of the bygone hippy era, and probably even the last. This place invites you to spend a relaxing afternoon over
