IBIZA - SANTA AGNÉS - LAS PUERTAS DEL CIELO
CAFETERIA CAN JORDI - LAS PUERTAS DEL CIELO
We have been coming to this great little Restaurant in the pine forest of Santa Agnés for many years. We always receive a warm welcome and good Ibicencan food and wine at decent prices.
On this occasion, we had,
Ensalada payesa (local Salad)
Nido calamar (squid nest)
Rotja (scorpion fish)
Followed by fideuà,
similar to seafood paella but made with pasta noodles instead of rice.
All washed down by an excellent Mocen Verdejo 2019 D.O. Rueda bottle, which I had not tried before.
We had the usual Ibicencan desserts of greixonera and flaó, which you can see in the older review below.
The following is a review from 2021
You will need a car or a bike to get to this Restaurant. From Sant Antoni de Portmany (San Antonio), drive into Santa Agnés de Corona (Santa Inés) to the T-junction (next to Cafeteria Ca'n Cosmi, which is famous for its tortilla (Spanish omelette), turn left at the sign for Cafeteria Ca'n Jordi.
You will not see any more signs once you leave the little village of Santa Agnés de Corona. However, it is a straightforward drive from there, with pretty views of the almond blossoms (if you happen to be there in February).
Follow the road for around 1.5 km until you come across a rustic-looking wooden Restaurant in a pine forest on your right. There is ample parking.
Ca'n Jordi is high up in the pine forest near the cliff edge, offering fantastic views.
Carefully walk to the cliff edge to catch the stunning views.
It is an excellent place for lunch, inside and outside, seated at a few wooden tables.
The service is very friendly, and it is provided by the son and the old couple who set up and run the Restaurant.
The food and drink here are cheaper than the fancy bars elsewhere but just as good.
This is not a trendy Ibiza club Restaurant but a typical local Restaurant serving traditional Ibicencan cuisine.
The same family has run it for many years; the mother still works in the kitchen.
Locally produced ensalada Ibicencan
Sardinas (sardines)

Chuleta's de cordero a la parrilla (grilled lamb chops)

Greixonera. a typical cinnamon-flavoured bread pudding made from ensaïmadas (which contains lard)
Flaó (Cheesecake with mint)
The small open space facing the sea offers superb panoramic views of the coast from the cliff, which tumbles steeply into the sea.
It is a great place to watch the setting sun, so remember to bring your camera. You should also bring an insect spray to protect yourself from mosquitoes in the pine forest.
If you are more adventurous, the surroundings are fantastic for hiking. To the Restaurant's left is the XII-century Phoenician ruin of Sa Penya Esbarrada, which you can view through the security fence.
From 1 July until the end of September, the Restaurant is open until 10.30 pm. The rest of the year is open for lunch only (the kitchen closes at 5 pm.).
