Santa Gertrudis Village, San Rafael & surrounds
Santa Gertrudis. Set in a pretty blue-hued finca in the centre of Santa Gertrudis, it’s been part of Ibiza’s dining scene for years, and it still feels like a reliable choice when you want a meal that’s special without trying too hard. The food is contemporary Mediterranean with an Italian twist, seasonal and made with good local ingredients, and the handwritten menu adds a charming, personal touch.
San Rafael. A meat feast! If you are a vegetarian you might find this a challenging evening. The grilled cuts here are delicious. The smells filling the air from the parrilla are intoxicating and it’s smokey enough to make your clothes walk their own way to the washing machine when back at the villa! If meat is your thing then this is your place.
Tucked away with quiet confidence, Bottega brings the soulful philosophy of il Buco to life, sourcing ingredients both from local producers and the heart of Italy. A standout is the ancient grain Sicilian focaccia, served warm and ever-changing with the seasons, and also great for authentic homemade pasta and Italian specialities.
