El Ayoun

The atmosphere in this restaurant’s dining room, lounge and terrace garden is a cool Moroccan Arabian Nights-style.

Calle Isidor Macabich, San Rafael

El Bigote

El Bigote ("the moustache") refers to the proprietor of this beach-shack restaurant overlooking a bay with crystal-clear water and first-class snorkelling. You have to make a reservation in person (there is no phone) a day in advance before being allowed to eat the fish you catch.

Juan y Andrea

This restaurant really is one of a kind. If you can’t afford a private boat to take you to its wave-side perch, hop onto a fast ferry from Ibiza and hire a scooter at the other end. Kick off your shoes and run your toes through sand before dining on your lobster and chips. Pack your swimwear – the soft-sand beach is Caribbean standard.

Playa Illetas, Formentera

(+34 971 396 349)

KM5

So-called because it’s around 5km out of Ibiza Town on the road to San José, this popular venue is decked out with Bedouin tents and loungers. It bills itself, accurately, as ‘the perfect escape from the craziness of Ibiza’s pounding club culture’ and its restaurant is renowned for Argentine steaks and beautifully crafted Mediterranean dishes.

La Brasa

For dinner, this place serves local dishes in a gorgeous courtyard garden backing on to the city ramparts; ask for a table amid the fronds of banana plants

Trattoria del Sole

This wonderful Italian restaurant is cosy, glamorous and just as good out of season. Don’t let the suspect Astroturf walkway leading to the restaurant from the car park discourage you; the food is fabulous.
