The quality restaurant scene in Ibiza is thriving. If you are looking for excellent food, a night out in a fabulous setting, or if you just want to impress the 'trade' by spending a fortune and producing the black Amex, you cannot fail to find somewhere in Ibiza. Don't expect to find all three in one.

Some of the strangest little places produce the best food, some very mediocre restaurants are set in the most stunning locations, and one or two survive strictly on their reputation - and know how to charge for it.

Don't forget, you will need a reservation for most restaurants in high season. If you don't reserve a table you could spend the whole evening wandering around, and then end up with egg & chips.

Apart from the food and the atmosphere, eat somewhere where the staff at least act as if they like you. This can be problematical in Ibiza, as the staff suffer after a night out just as much as anyone else.

If you are looking for a quick and easy lunch, you will find a mixture of 'everything with chips', Spanish Beach Front / Hotel Café, Tapas bars, local cafes and pasta bars. At this end of the market, you can be served anything from quality a meal that is excellent value (big enough for two), comfort food, or just plane old slop, so don't take anything at face value.

You will need two weeks to even try the better ones that are within walking distance of each other. Most of our favourite restaurants are included in this section.

The following restaurants are either gay-owned or gay-friendly and offer good value for money and great food. Map references refer to the location of the restaurant on Ibiza Gay Map, (2nd part Ibiza Gay Map)
