Eating in Ibiza: from hidden restaurants to long lunches

Food in Ibiza is more than eating. It is part of the island’s rhythm. Each restaurant carries its own atmosphere, and every meal feels like a small story.

In Santa Gertrudis you find long lunches in small courtyards, where children play while parents share fresh pasta or truffle dishes. In San Josep Sunday mornings start with churros at the café, dipped in sugar and still warm. At Sa Caleta the sea is only a few steps away as you eat fresh fish on a terrace carved into the red cliffs.

Some places are elegant, others are simple, but all are tied to the island. Passion for healthy breakfasts, La Paloma for evenings in a garden full of light, Aubergine where the music is soft and the food feels grown from the soil itself.

These restaurants are not only about the menu. They are about time. About sitting together, tasting slowly, watching the day shift around you. Ibiza has countless corners where food feels like celebration. And when you return to Mariposa de Noche after dinner, the story of the island continues under the stars.
