As my granny used to say, \u2018if you\u2019re going on holiday to Ibiza, do what you want, but eat well for me\u2019. Don\u2019t leave the island without trying some of its delicacies as you enjoy yourself in its most iconic locations. Just remember, come hungry – the table\u2019s already set.<\/h5>\n

The Route of the Roja<\/h2>\n

Sure, we all know Ibiza is a place to let loose, but I bet you didn\u2019t know it has something to offer that beats partying? There\u2019s a cultural and traditional side to Ibiza that you can only start to get a taste for through your palate. Wherever you are on the island, be it north, south, east or west, be sure to look out for one of its most prized and consumed fish: the red sea scorpion fish, known locally as The Roja. This not-so-attractive orange-tinted fish can be found in the island\u2019s rocky sea beds. You\u2019ll also find it in one of Ibiza\u2019s signature dishes: The \u2018Bullit de Peix\u2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"cabracho<\/figure>\n

The recipe for this dish<\/a> is simple, but the key is to use good-quality products. Put your lovely Roja in a pan with some fish stock, along with some other fish, usually grouper or john dory. Throw in some Ibizan potatoes and green beans, to be served on the side. Once boiled, place it on a large tray and add some aioli<\/em> on top, giving the dish its characteristic yellow colour. If you managed to eat the whole thing, I hope you left room for the rice that\u2019s about to come. This \u2018a banda\u2019 rice is a truly essential dish, cooked with the stock that you just used to boil the Bullit. You\u2019ll find some restaurants that serve this rice in broth dish. con il brodo in cui \u00e8 stato bollito il Bullit, un piatto indispensabile. Alcuni ristoranti lo servono in brodo.<\/p>\n

Where Can You Eat A Good Bullit de Peix?<\/h3>\n

Personally, I have four favourite Ibizan restaurants<\/strong>, all of which are in front of the sea.<\/p>\n

\"bullit<\/figure>\n

Can Pujol<\/a><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s in San Antonio Bay. The restaurant is located on a rocky shore a few metres from the sea. Order the espardenyes<\/em> to start! You\u2019ll be surprised, and then make sure to ask the waiter to tell you which animal they come from… I\u2019ll leave it at that.<\/p>\n

Salvad\u00f3 Pou des Lle\u00f3<\/a><\/h4>\n

This one\u2019s located in the north-eastern part of the island, and has been open since the 80s. When you arrive you\u2019ll see that this local has been around for a lifetime: the floor, the tables, the decor, it\u2019s all aged to perfection. You have to pay in cash (there\u2019s no card machine!). There\u2019s no need for a coffee machine to make \u2018caleta\u2019 (meaning \u2018cove\u2019) coffee.<\/p>\n

\"restaurante<\/figure>\n

You don\u2019t know what caleta coffee<\/strong> is? You\u2019ll see it in many of Ibiza\u2019s typical restaurants. In the 50s, two Ibizan fishers from Sa Caleta (which is where the coffee gets its name from) went to Galicia for military service. Inspired by the Queimada<\/em>, a Galician alcoholic punch, they created and popularised their own version with the ingredients they had to hand. Nowadays, this Ibizan boozy coffee is served in most restaurants on the island.<\/p>\n

Port de Balansat<\/a><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s in San Miguel port, with an outdoor terrace on the same beach. I remember the same waiters from all those years ago, which is a good sign. It\u2019s a favourite among local Ibizan families.<\/p>\n

El Bigotes<\/a><\/h4>\n

Juan Ferrer, the island\u2019s most famous moustachioed fisherman, would head out every day to fish in Cala Mastella. When he got back, he would often invite his friends over for a bullit de peix<\/em> in his fishing hut, the very same one into which he would invite curious passers-by. Over the years, he became famous and decided to set up his own restaurant.<\/p>\n

The place remains practically unchanged to this day. His lla\u00fct (a small fishing vessel typical of Ibiza) remains moored to his shipyard, which has since been converted into a restaurant.<\/p>\n

\"restaurante<\/figure>\n

The large wooden tables and stools, on which diners share their table with strangers, are still there. There\u2019s only one lunch hour: 2 at noon. And there\u2019s only one dish: the \u2018Bullit de Peix\u2019<\/strong>. Until a few years ago, there was no way to book by phone: you had to come in advance to find the best seaside seat. Leave your bank card at home, you can\u2019t use it anyway – they only take cash. And coffee, of the caleta kind, of course.<\/p>\n

Paellas in Ibiza?<\/h3>\n

Of course, another of the island\u2019s signature dishes are their Paellas, or perhaps I should say \u2018rice dishes\u2019, so as to not upset the Valencians. Even still, just like in the rest of Spain, the people here call it paella even though the ingredients differ greatly from the Valencian version of the dish.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter the Sunday, it doesn\u2019t matter the house, in Ibiza you\u2019ll find a \u2018mixed\u2019 paella on the go, with meat (rabbit) and fish<\/strong>, with prawns, crab legs, cuttlefish, chopped garlic, parsley and chicken liver, and of course, that same fish stock. It sounds a bit clich\u00e9, but eating some paella on the beach is quite a luxury. That said, you\u2019ll eat one of the island\u2019s best rice dishes in an inland restaurant, in the S\u2019Espartar Restaurant<\/a>. You\u2019ll find it on the west of the island, a few kilometres from what is probably the island\u2019s most beautiful cascade of bays.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Typical house in Ibiza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you\u2019re after paella on the beach, the one that sticks with me the most out of all the amazing options available is Restaurante El Carmen<\/a>. Located on the same beach as Cala d\u2019Hort, with the impressive islet of Es Vedr\u00e0 under your nose, you\u2019ll find paellas that regularly satisfy even the most discerning palates.<\/p>\n

Ibizan Desserts<\/h3>\n

After some food, no matter how much of it you ate, there\u2019s always room for something sweet. The absolutely unmissable cream of the crop of Ibizan desserts are the following:<\/p>\n

Greixonera<\/h4>\n

In a subsistence economy like Ibiza\u2019s, you have to make the most of what you have. This dessert, similar to pudding<\/strong>, is made using \u2018ensaimadas\u2019, a kind of delicious sweet bread, that have gone hard. It takes the name of the vessel it\u2019s cooked in, a clay pot.<\/p>\n

\"greixonera<\/figure>\n

Orelletes<\/h4>\n

With a hint of aniseed, they\u2019re reminiscent of fried donuts<\/strong>, and the dough used to make them is basically the same. It\u2019s a sweet treat in the shape of a large, intensely yellow teardrop, and it\u2019s coated in sugar. They used to be, and in fact still are, handed out at local weddings, and even as gifts for guests. Luckily, they\u2019re now used more extensively and you can find them in practically any local bakery.<\/p>\n

Fla\u00f3<\/h4>\n

This is the star of Ibiza\u2019s desserts. This local version of cheesecake<\/strong>, which uses sheep or goat\u2019s cheese, gets its distinctive touch from the mint leaves you\u2019ll find in every bite. Depending on where it\u2019s baked, it may come with powdered white sugar on top. It\u2019s often found on the dessert menu of many restaurants, and numerous cooking writers have whipped up their own take on this dessert. You can even find ice cream-flavoured versions!<\/p>\n

\"flaons\"<\/figure>\n

Now I\u2019m sure I\u2019ve got your tummy rumbling! This was all just to whet your appetite, as Ibiza has many more hidden gems… Get ready to discover them on your next trip to this incredible island!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
