It is more than likely that you are hitting Ibiza to soak up the party atmosphere, dance the night into morning, and spend some quality time topping up your bronzed tan. However, there is more to this island; no more so can this be found than in Ibiza’s restaurants.

Whilst it is always good to submerge yourself in a local culture, you may find the traditional Ibicenco dishes a little too piquant for your tastes. However, with more standard Spanish restaurants everywhere, and a host of cuisines from all over the world, there is surely to be something to tempt you.

Because of the island’s popularity across Europe, it is also possible to taste the cuisine from countries you may not immediately aware of; Germany and Holland for example. Why not take the time to try something a little different whilst in Ibiza?

The food is generally of an excellent quality, no matter where you choose to eat. However, what is also excellent with all of Ibiza’s restaurants is the price. Whilst recent changes have seen exchange rates slide, this is still true today where selecting the “menu del dia” at lunch, will give you three courses, wine for about ten to fifteen Euros.

You could of course elect to stay with what is offered through your resort. However, whilst these are generally of a high standard, it is outside of the resorts that the real gems can be seen. Try also to move away from the tourist traps; head into the hills and along the western coast for excellent service and quality.

Good weather and good times are a byline for Ibiza, and there is no reason why you shouldn’t enjoy the excellent food that Ibiza’s restaurants serve up on a daily basis. A word of warning though; as summer season peaks, some less than wonderful places do open. When deciding which place to dine out, spend a little time looking at the clientele. The rule of thumb here, (as with anywhere in the world), is if the locals like it; they must be something right.
