IBIZA - SANT AGUSTÍ DES VEDRÀ - SA SOCA
RESTAURANTE SA SOCA
On the way to Sant Agustí, from Sant Antoni, you will find this traditional rustic, and charming restaurant. From the outside, it would be easy to drive past it as it does not look anything special.
The entrance has a small bar area,
with simple wooden chairs and tables,
and small dining rooms with a fireplace.
Once inside, you will find its vine-covered large inner terrace with overgrown plants and a quiet countryside landscape twinkling in the background.
Sa Soca has been owned by the same family for many years. A husband and wife team, Andrés Asensio from Almeria and Antonia Marí, an Ibicenco, set up the restaurant in 1976. Their son and daughter, Andrés, and his sister Alicia are now running the restaurant.
There is a very friendly atmosphere and when you enter you are greeted with big contagious smiles by Andreas and Alicia, as if they have known you for years. On the menu, you will find all the classic, Ibicencan dishes such as
Huevos payes (country-style eggs)
Bullit de peix (fish soup)
Carrilleras de cerdo en salsa de vino tinto (pork cheeks in red wine)
We started with,
Pan y all i oli
followed by,
Calamares al plancha (grilled squid)
Gambas al ajillo (garlic prawns)
Gambas en Gabardina (deep-fried battered prawns)
Langostinos con ensalada de mango (breaded langoustines with mango salad)
Hombro de Cordero (shoulder of lamb)
However, their signature dish is Guiso de Conejo Sa Soca (rabbit stew) still made according to the grandmother's recipe. The meat is very tender.
Greixonera ( A typical Ibicencan dessert that is prepared with old ensaimadas (beware, vegans, they contain lard), milk, eggs, and sugar. The Greixonera takes its name from the pot in which it was formerly prepared, the traditional clay pot of the Balearic Islands).
Tarta de Manzana (apple pie)
With the prawns we had, José Pariente (Rueda) 100% Verdejo.
And the meat we had, Marquês de Cáceres Reserva (Rioja) 85% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha Tinta.
The owner, Andrés, was fantastic. His energetic service and graceful movement added a special touch to the evening. All the food was excellent, especially his grandmother’s timeless rabbit stew.
