San Miguel, San Lorenzo, San Juan and surrounds
Santa Eularia area, on the main road from Ibiza town to San Juan. Set in an old payes house this 100% Ibicencan establishment is renowned for the 3 types of olive oil they make. You will get to try these paired with your food, a kind of cultural exploration through your senses. Great service with high quality local products.
San Juan. Set in the quaint Northern pueblo of San Juan, the Giri café looks small from the outside until you walk through to the outdoor area. A 300 year old townhouse with a very private back terrace that makes you feel like you could be sitting in your own backyard – just a bit more stylish. Shaded by bamboo walls, with an organic garden at your feet, the Giri creates simple Mediterranean dishes with local produce. The service is often pretty slow and you may be waiting a while for your dish but it’s hard to feel impatient while you are lying on a Balinese bed and sipping away on an amazing cocktail! There is also a cool tepee play area for kids.
San Lorenzo. Italian / Mediterranean / organic charming, campo restaurant with excellent food and ambience. Located in the pretty and tiny village of San Lorenzo, it’s one of the established classics in any Ibiza restaurant guide. About as rustic chic as it comes. Definitely worth the drive. In the day, eat at the La Paloma café (immediately next door) and in the evening enjoy the main restaurant. Both are excellent.
Amalurino is a relaxed, all-day bistro in the north of the island, designed to move effortlessly from breakfast through to evening drinks. With a warm, contemporary feel and an easygoing atmosphere, it attracts a mix of locals and visitors looking for good food without formality. Family-friendly and unpretentious, Amalurino is an easy choice for a casual meal in a pleasant, well-designed setting.
Carretera de San Juan, 8.5km. Bambuddha has become an institution over the last 10 years. The restaurant and cocktail bar have stayed popular for years and have a loyal following amongst tourists. John Moon, the owner, has created a hugely atmospheric dining experience and his son John has partnered with him and improved it further. Bambuddha feels like a slice of the Orient and serves up good Thai and Asian food at a respectable price. Have a delicious cocktail first in the bar…and two or three more after dinner too!
San Miguel. Mediterranean Italian restaurant right in the village. You walk off the street and immediately enter a lovely garden atmosphere with a pretty patio to enjoy evening al fresco dining. Not worth driving across the island for but highly recommended if you are staying close by.
San Mateo. Farm-to-table restaurant Juntos was founded with the intention of creating food experiences and products, produced in a regenerative organic way and in harmony with the local ecosystem and community of Ibiza. They also have a garden that supplies both the restaurant and the local community.
