Where to eat in Ibiza: Insider picks from Food Tours Balearics

Ibiza may be world famous for its nightlife, but ask any local and they’ll tell you: the real magic is in the food. Ibiza Town, Eivissa as the locals call it, is a melting pot of Spanish, Mediterranean, and international flavours. From tapas bars hidden in cobbled streets to rooftop restaurants with sunset views.

With so many choices, knowing where to eat can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in. At Food Tours Balearics, we spend our evenings guiding guests through Ibiza’s restaurants, tapas bars, and foodie hidden gems. In this blog we combine our insider favourites in the neighbouring town Santa Eulària, including Voraz, Distraído, Mr. Freddy, Lagom, GLOW Rooftop, and Palm Ibiza, with some of the best-known dining spots in town.

Whether you’re after tapas, paella, sushi, or budget-friendly eats, here’s where to start.

Tapas is at the heart of Spanish dining, and Ibiza Old Town is home to some of the best tapas restaurants on the island. Tucked away beneath the Dalt Vila walls is the lively tapas bar La Bodega. A favourite when visiting Ibiza, serving classics like patatas bravas, chorizo, and jamón ibérico. If it’s tapas and people watching you might consider La Cava. More of a modern tapas selection on the menu and a favourite meeting point in Ibiza.

On our food tour in Santa Eulària, Ibiza, you can sample a wide variety without choosing just one!

Being an island, Ibiza knows how to do seafood. From grilled lobster to the classic Ibizan stew bullit de peix, there’s no shortage of flavour from the sea. Harbour side dining with fresh seafood is a must. For a relaxing dinner, Chambao (Nobu Hotel Ibiza Bay) is one to add to your food list. It’s a kind of  feet-in-the-sand dining experience on Talamanca beach, famous for its paella and fresh fish.

Something modern with fresh ingredients and a more laid back vibe would be Voraz Ibiza (Food Tours partner). We love bringing guests here to taste Ibiza’s seafood in style. Next door from Voraz, you’ll find another partner of ours Lagom in Santa Eularia. Both are a little further out of town, but worth the trip. Seasonal, creative Mediterranean dishes served beachfront in Santa Eularia.

Ibiza has always attracted people from around the world, and its restaurant scene reflects this cultural mix. La Toretta offers Mediterranean dining with a fusion of international cuisine in the heart of Ibiza Town. One of our other favourite modern restaurants in Ibiza is Palm Restaurant (Food Tours partner). Set in a hidden oasis in the town’s centre, they offer a bohemian kitchen and vibrant atmosphere. It is a real highlight on our tours and one restaurant you should add to your list when visiting Ibiza.

Sometimes dinner is more than food, it’s about the setting. Ibiza offers some of the most incredible rooftop and marina side dining options. Like the relaxed Calma (Marina Botafoc) full of mediterranean flavours. There are restaurants with sea views in Ibiza, GLOW Rooftop (Food Tours partner) and Distraído Ibiza (Food Tours partner) could be one place to enjoy a cocktail as the sun goes down. Cocktails are likely to cost between €14 and €18, but will be worth it for the sunset.

There are plenty of casual, authentic places where locals eat every day, making them a great place to eat if you are visiting Ibiza with children. Kaixo Ibiza offers generous, affordable tapas, popular with a younger crowd. A meal for two can cost anything from €50 -€80. If you’re looking for authentic pintxos or places that offer small bites on bread, a Basque speciality, El Zaguán should be one to add to your list. Skinny Kitchen (Figueretas) serves healthy, family friendly dishes right on the sea promenade.

Ibiza is bursting with food choices. But why choose just one?

On our Ibiza food tours, we take you on a culinary journey through Santa Eulària, tasting at multiple restaurants in one evening, from local favourites to exclusive partner venues like Distraído, Voraz, and GLOW Rooftop.
