Whilst you are most likely to spend your time sunning by the pool, and partying, there is a lot more to Ibiza than those activities alone. A cultural haven too, you should also make time for the delights that Ibiza’s restaurants can offer.

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.

If you so desire, you can even spend a night or two tasting the food that the Netherlands has to offer. A popular destination for the Dutch, Ibiza’s restaurants are not simply limited to standard offerings you would expect to see anywhere.

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.

Whilst Ibiza is well known for its party spirit, there is nothing to say you cannot take advantage of its other attractions. If you are headed there during summer season, you will find a number of fast food places looking for your trade. And whilst they may be great for after the club, they are not going to give you the dining experience that Ibiza’s restaurants are able to manage. A little tip; look for the locals!
