It was a sunny afternoon and we were navigating our way along a bumpy camino just outside of Ibiza town. I had absolutely no idea what was beyond this dusty trail, given I was about to be the first of my friends to try an all-new Ibiza restaurant – Es Trull de Can Palau, set in the luxury rural hotel of the same name – for the very first time, but the promise of high-end gastronomic cuisine already had my stomach rumbling!

The first rule of cooking club is, don’t talk about cooking club. Well, that’s what successful graduates of Ibiza’s cooking classes may say when they wish to pretend their newfound cooking skills came naturally, or those who’ve sampled the delights of a supper club experience and want to keep it their little secret, but we say the second rule of cooking club is ignore rule number one! As Ibiza’s gastronomic reputation continues to grow, with the introduction of winter cooking classes and local celebrity chef dinners, the next Jamie Oliver may just spring forth from our own front yard!

Seven days, seven unique Ibiza dining destinations. From the classic, romantic French restaurant to an über-cool, modern MediterrAsian temple, including legendary restaurants that have been revived to much success in 2011 and encompassing the latest and greatest eateries to have wowed our palates this year, this is a weeklong gastronomic journey of the highest international standards… all here on our doorstep, and open throughout winter! (more…)
One of our favourite Spanish traditions to embrace in winter is the lunchtime ‘menu del dia’ – a three-course, fixed price meal served up in many Ibiza restaurants, always great value for money and a fab way to sample multiple menu items! (more…)
A good clam is hard to beat. And as in all things seafoody, there are many different types to choose from. And many different prices to pay. In the market you can pay up to 20€ a kilo for the same clams that sell in the next door stall for 12€, which in turn are sold in the super(?)market for 9€. (more…)
This week is your last chance to sample many of the fresh Mediterranean catches in Ibiza’s best restaurants, and one of our favourites is the delectable local white fish Sirvia, cooked in a delicious chilli and lime butter and served with a crunchy herb and marinated melon salad at alternative sunset restaurant Kumharas, closing for the season this Sunday.

All the more reason to stay on the island longer, my dears…

White Ibiza recommends: Lemon-scented linguine at Aura
Now the nights are getting just that little bit chillier (just a little mind you! We’re not exactly wearing jackets yet), we’re more likely to indulge in a pasta dish rather than constantly craving light bites! But the lemon-scented linguine at Aura still somehow manages to tick both the light AND the comfort food boxes thanks to it’s light consistency and hint of a delicately citrus flavour, courtesy of excutive chef Caroline Seely... the perfect choice for an autumn evening, and a very vegetarian friendly option too!
Stroll beneath a canopy of bamboo, past watchful stone statues and make your way around the grand estate that is Bambuddha Grove, where flushes of Ibiza luxe and an über cool crowd sit amidst ancient sexual artefacts and sultry, sumptuous furnishings. Read more. (more…)
