10 Best Restaurants
Ibiza rewards travellers who look closely at the island’s different rhythms. Eivissa brings the pleasures of a historic Mediterranean town, with the walls of Dalt Vila rising above the waterfront. Inland, whitewashed villages and agricultural landscapes encourage slower days. Along the coast, small coves, headlands and beaches make location an important part of choosing where to stay. The best holiday here begins with that choice. A town hotel favours walking, restaurants and culture; a northern retreat puts the landscape and time at the property first. Western addresses suit evenings shaped around the coast, while the east offers another collection of beaches and places to dine. We would resist trying to experience every side of Ibiza in a single day. This guide pairs substantial resorts with intimate historic and rural hotels, and gastronomic tasting menus with fish, rice and more relaxed restaurant meals. Our recommendations are editorial choices rather than a single publisher’s league table. Build the trip around a few well-chosen reservations, then leave room for the island itself.
Omakase by Walt
Eivissa, Spain
Omakase by Walt concentrates the evening around the chef and the counter. Walter Sidoravicius’s Japanese-led tasting experience asks diners to hand over the decisions and follow a sequence prepared in front of them. The small, discreet setting makes this a particularly good choice for guests who enjoy watching the detail of a kitchen rather than a large dining-room spectacle. Reserve directly, communicate dietary restrictions early and arrive at the requested time so that the shared progression can unfold properly.

UNIC
Platja d’en Bossa, Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Spain
At UNIC, David Grussaute uses contemporary technique to explore the ingredients and food traditions of Ibiza. The restaurant sits within Migjorn Ibiza Suites & Spa, but the tasting-menu experience is a reason to visit in its own right. Local producers, growers and fishers are central to the kitchen’s identity, giving the meal a clear connection to the island. Choose it for a planned gastronomic evening, and check the seasonal calendar and dietary options before arranging the rest of your night.
Contemporary island cooking
Estragón
Insotel Fenicia, Santa Eulària des Riu, Spain
Estragón’s current home is at Insotel Fenicia in Santa Eulària, where Álvaro Sanz continues an exploratory approach to Mediterranean cooking. The tasting menus draw on island ingredients, landscape and culinary history, with the sequence designed as a complete evening rather than a quick dinner. Choose it if you enjoy a strong narrative and are happy to give the kitchen time. Book the current Santa Eulària address, check seasonal opening and discuss dietary needs before committing to a menu.

Jondal
Cala Jondal, Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Spain
Jondal makes seafood the centre of a long lunch beside its namesake cove. Rafa Zafra’s approach ranges across different preparations rather than treating the location as the whole attraction. The setting is relaxed in appearance but the meal deserves planning, particularly when demand is high. Choose it for a celebratory coastal afternoon and book well ahead. Ask the restaurant about the day’s fish, portions and market-priced items so that your order suits the occasion and your appetite.

Es Ventall
Sant Antoni de Portmany, Spain
Es Ventall offers a more rooted side of Sant Antoni, with a planted courtyard and cooking that connects contemporary ideas to Ibizan tradition. José Miguel Bonet’s kitchen works with local produce, including ingredients from the family garden, and gives rice dishes a meaningful place on the menu. Choose it for an evening in which food and conversation take precedence over the town’s nightlife. Ask about courtyard seating and the current menu when booking, especially if you have a particular dish in mind.
A garden dinner with island roots
Can Font
Dalt Vila, Eivissa, Spain
Can Font brings contemporary regional cooking to Hotel Mirador de Dalt Vila, with an entrance that also welcomes diners who are not staying at the hotel. The setting makes it a natural conclusion to an afternoon exploring the walled town. Island vegetables, fruit, olive oils and fish inform the kitchen’s identity, while the intimate surroundings suit an unhurried meal. Choose it for a composed old-town evening and ask about terrace availability, current menus and access arrangements when reserving.
Dinner within the old town
Es Boldado
Cala d’Hort, Sant Josep de sa Talaia, Spain
Es Boldado pairs an elevated coastal setting with the straightforward pleasures of fish and rice. The dining room is rustic rather than theatrical, leaving the Mediterranean and Es Vedrà to provide the drama. It is a good choice for travellers who want traditional flavours with their view, rather than an elaborate tasting sequence. Plan the approach in advance, reserve a table and ask about the available fish and portion sizes before ordering, especially when choosing items sold by weight.

Sa Talassa
Insotel Fenicia, Santa Eulària des Riu, Spain
Sa Talassa offers another expression of Álvaro Sanz’s interest in Ibiza’s ingredients, within Insotel Fenicia. Its terrace setting and menu with choices make the experience more flexible than the chef’s extended tasting format at Estragón. The focus remains Mediterranean, with island produce providing the common thread. Choose it when you want a considered restaurant meal without devoting the entire evening to a long progression, and confirm the current menu structure and seasonal opening before making plans.
A more relaxed Mediterranean menu
Es Terral
Santa Eulària des Riu, Spain
Es Terral is an intimate alternative to Ibiza’s more conspicuous dining rooms. Chef Matthieu Michel Savariaud combines a French culinary background with local, seasonal ingredients in Santa Eulària’s pedestrian centre. The appeal lies in a personal menu and a relaxed setting, rather than a procession of elaborate rituals. Choose it for a dinner focused on the plate and your companions, and let the current selection guide your order. Reserve directly and discuss dietary needs while the kitchen can still plan for them.

Ciento80
Figueretes, Eivissa, Spain
Ciento80 sits on the Figueretes seafront at Sud Ibiza Suites, making it an easy choice for a meal with the water in view. The kitchen’s range includes contemporary combinations, rice dishes and charcoal cooking, giving a mixed group useful room to choose. This is a less ceremonial stop than the island’s tasting-menu addresses. Come for a relaxed lunch or dinner, request the seating you prefer and check the current selection rather than arriving fixed on a particular dish.
