Ibiza · 22 Citorah Picks
In the order Citorah recommends them: the order the guides rank them, and never by commission. How Citorah is paid
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says It sits on the cliff above the beach, facing the islets of Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell. It specialises in fish, rice and shellfish, and its signature dishes are bullit de peix and salmorra. The Tur Torres family runs it, and it dates back more than 30 years.
The catch Es Boldadó advises against arriving by taxi, because of what it calls continual problems with the island’s taxi network.
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says The restaurant is right by the beach, a few metres from the fishing harbour. The Pujolet family has run it since 1988, and its flagships are bullit de peix, paella, lobster caldereta and café caleta.
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says It’s part of a business that produces Ibiza’s traditional sausages, cheeses and dairy, and it makes its own sobrassada and botifarró. Come for the grill: kid and lamb from its own farm.
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says Juan Bonet, a Formentera fisherman, and Andrea opened a small beach bar here in 1971, and the couple’s three children run it now. It’s the one with palm trees, serving fish, seafood and rice on the terrace or on the sand.
The catch On 15 October 2026, its online booking page said it was closed, and listed no other dates.
Citorah PickRestaurant · San Antonio
Citorah says Antonia Cardona and Miguel Bonet opened it in 1982, and the second generation runs it now. Its mission, it says, is to move Ibiza’s cooking forward without losing its essence: traditional dishes such as bullit de peix and sofrit pagès, next to newer ones. It cooks over wood, with fruit and vegetables from its own farm at Es Broll de Buscastell.
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says La Paloma has been there since 2004, in an old finca among citrus orchards. It’s two restaurants in one. At lunch, the café serves chef Nir Cohen’s cooking, which mixes the Middle Eastern flavours of his homeland with local Mediterranean ingredients. In the evening, under chef Prasuna Coppini, the cooking turns Italian.
Citorah PickRestaurant · The north
Citorah says The agroturismo hotel, on a 300-year-old finca, opens its main restaurant to non-guests, for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, with vegetables, fruit and herbs from its organic garden.
Citorah PickRestaurant · Ibiza Town
Citorah says René and Úrsula opened it in 1985, and their children Lisa and Louis now run it. It describes its cooking as Mediterranean flavours with Asian fusions, and its fish of the day comes baked in salt.
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says An old mill from Formentera’s salt industry, with views of Illetes beach on one side and the port of La Savina on the other. It serves Formentera’s traditional dishes and Mediterranean cooking
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says Sa Trinxa is the institution: grilled sea bass around €28, salads €18, a beer €6. The DJ sets that made it famous have been wound down under the natural-park regulations, so it’s a beach restaurant now rather than the sunset-DJ scene the old guides remember — still book ahead in July or you’re standing at the bar.
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says Lunch at El Carmen on the sand: grilled gallo (John Dory) by the kilo, about €70/kg, paella for two around €48, house white €22 — book ahead, they don’t squeeze you in.
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says Eat at Restaurante Cala Salada on the rocks above the main cove — family-run, open through the 2026 season, grilled dorada around €24, a jug of sangria €18.
Citorah PickRestaurant · The north
Citorah says Eat at Restaurante Elements on the headland above the south end of the sand — Elements is more a beach-club-plus-wellness complex than a quiet sand-side chiringuito these days, but the bullit de peix (around €38) and the house albariño (€22) are real and the sea view is unbeatable.
Citorah PickRestaurant · The north
Citorah says Eat at Restaurante Cala Xarraca, the family-run place built into the rocks on the left as you face the water — going on 30+ years, grilled dorada around €22, bullit de peix €28, house white €18 a bottle, cash preferred.
The catch Shut Tuesdays out of season — ring before the drive.
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says That leaves El Chiringuito Es Cavallet at the north end as the remaining sit-down option on the sand — grilled fish, salads, a wine list, mains €25–€38, bookings essential in July and August.
The catch The sunbed concession out front is €70 for two beds and a parasol, which is the most aggressive markup on the south coast
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says Stop at Chiringuito KM11 (ex-Pirata Bus), on the sand at kilometre 11. The famous yellow bus is gone: Pirata Bus closed after 2023, and KM11 opened on the same spot in August 2024 — a beach kiosk with food from €2.50 to €12.
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says Restaurant Cala Saona above the beach is fine for a wine and a snack but I’d save the proper dinner for back in Ibiza.
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says Es Caló de Sant Agustí (Es Caló village, north-east coast) — small fishing-cove restaurants. Restaurante Es Caló for grilled fish from the morning’s catch. €40-50 a head, worth it for a long lunch.
Citorah PickRestaurant
Citorah says Can Carlos (Sant Francesc Xavier — the inland village) — the locals’ choice when they want to eat properly off the beach. Modern Mediterranean, €60-80 a head with wine. Book ahead.
Citorah PickCafé
Citorah says Coffee at La Boutique (the bakery on Avinguda Miramar), a pastry, and you’ve got energy for the rest.
Citorah PickMarket · The north
Citorah says The Sant Joan craft market fills the village square in front of the church every Sunday of the year, from 9:30 to 16:00.
Citorah PickMarket · The north
Citorah says The hippy market at Las Dalias, with more than 200 stalls, is near Sant Carles de Peralta, in Santa Eulària’s municipality. Its 2026 schedule ran from February to December: Saturdays all season, Sundays too outside June to September, and a night market in summer.
