Ibiza

This the most iconic rock and roll hotel in the world where all desires are covered. The Sunday roast is legendary whilst my Love Food Ibiza menu is providing the clientele with some healthy delicious alternatives - the most popular being my tofu satay (which Heston Blumenthal devoured two days running!)

A family run seafood restaurant for over 30 years with the most SPECTACULAR view of mystical rock Es Vedra. It’s my favourite place on the island for paella, mussels and fresh fried Boquerones (anchovies). The manager Alberto is utterly charming too and always has a story or two.

Tucked away in Ibiza’s prettiest white washed village, The Giri has an enchanting kitchen garden where you can taste the freshness on every plate. Modern eclectic touches flood the menu with one of my favourites being the flamed roasted sea bass with coconut-galangal sauce, green apple, red miso and garden peas. Yum.

The fact that owner Peter has never wanted any press reviews of his beloved restaurant speaks volumes. He loves it so much here that he even has his own bedroom right in the middle of the restaurant for all to see! It is primarily a steak and goulash and fondue menu due to his Swiss origins, also check out Peter’s famous salad which is very random but delicious. Watch out for his homemade Limoncello, it’s lethal.

The ultimate authentic Ibiza outdoor dining experience where you eat in amongst the orange groves and lavender. The owners hail from Italy and Israel so the flavour combinations are dreamy. Pretty vintage crockery adorn the pastel painted tables, all adding to the charm. Apart from my own falafel, La Paloma’s is the best on the island.

This beautiful family run restaurant for more than 35 years, had primarily been a wedding and private events venue only until 2020 when the owners finally opened their doors to islanders and tourists. They have a stunning manicured kitchen garden that services the restaurant and a sweet smelling citrus orchard. Now I find that the service standards in Ibiza can at times be haphazard, but here it is always impeccable. The pork glazed in Pekinese sauce, tandoori taco, Korean guacamole and smoked eel is their signature dish this season…and is utterly delectable.

This wonderful family owned back street restaurant in the labyrinth of San An has recently had a beautiful modern makeover. The owners proudly support local producers and grow their own veggies whilst the taster menu is as good as any gastronomic experience that you might expect from dining in San Sabastian or Barcelona. Pure magic.


This is an Ibiza institution located in this dreamy hilltop village. It is open all year round, still have the original wooden post boxes where locals still collect their parcels and it is here where Ibiza’s first ever public telephone was installed! It remains my go to place for grilled sardines and proper homemade chips (which I also often have with a couple of fried eggs!).
