After giving it some thought, this is one of the two places I LOVE to go to on the island for…read morePaella. It has all of the things you would need for delicious paella: ambience, view, good wine, and of course, really delicious paella! This place is one of the local hot spots for lunch (especially on the weekends) because of it's proximity to the beach, it's great views, and the fact that the food is both fantastic AND very reasonably priced. You come here on a nice Sunday afternoon for lunch, follow it up by heading down to the beach which is walking distance from the restaurant, and you have yourself a very fantastic day! The Paella here is one of the tastier ones you can get on the island. Of course you can get it with lobster and all the fixins, and as one of the world's biggest advocates for lobster paella, I would suggest that you do exactly that. However, flavor wise, what I've noticed is just a normal seafood paella is just as good. Dare I say it, you won't miss the lobster. If you can even believe that. I mean, you'll miss it...but you get what I mean! The staff here is always really nice and always down to crack a joke with you as well. It's a really great place that always makes everyone feel welcome, which is why it's so popular with those in the know. And now, one of those people is you! Enjoy!

We were staying at a house just around the corner from the restaurant. It was convenient. The…read morelocation is great since it's right on the beach. We had the seafood paella for two. It was served with a healthy amount of seafood and the saffron flavor was not lacking. I also had the fish and seafood soup which was excellent. Deep flavor on the broth and pieces of crab fish and mussels as pet of the soup. There's a kids menu with some pasta and such. Not that common around here so it was good to see. In all a solid restaurant that is reasonably priced

We ended up in the city of Es Pujols the same night as a beach flower event. Most of the city was…read morevery busy and crowded so we wandered further out. Don't get me wrong the city is only a few blocks deep. It wasn't that far! El Gaucho was busy but still had tables available with reservation. It was early for Spain. 8pm. I had the Argentine steak. The larger portion. It was a large portion of steak. More than what I could eat, but I was able to give some away to my kids. My son had the beef kabobs. They were probably a bit more dry and overcooked. I would stay away from those. It's a good place to go if you are looking for a nice steak. All of the meat is grilled in a traditional Argentine style with salt over charcoal.

We just landed in Formentera via ferry from Ibiza. The restaurant is walking fistace from the…read moreferry pier at a marina which is beautiful. We had the croquetas de pollo y de gambas. Wow. Delicious! We also ordered the patatas bravas from Formentera the Mayo was a not spicy but gave it a great kick. Order the gin tonic. Pedro the bartender is very nice. I have it 4 stars vs 6 because the service is a bit slow. Granted everything else was amazing. If you are in Ibiza come to Formentera and see great beaches as if you were in the Caribbean.

Casa Manolo is one of those restaurants in Ibiza where it sits right next to the water, however,…read moreyou're not guaranteed a great seat with views. Due to the location, dinner reservations are highly encouraged. For starters, I started with the Spanish Croquettes and the Bread with Aioli. I have never had croquettes such as this, as this was more a vegetarian type of croquette. I liked that the croquettes had a light crisp on the outside, and a soft and mushy filling on the inside. Flavors were more comforting. The Aioli here is more oil based and less flavored compared to others I've tried. I have dedicated myself to an all Paella diet for the remainder of my trip. Casa Manolo was next on my list. Unfortunately, after trying the Paella Ciega (rice with seafood without "bones"), I thought this Paella had too much tomatoes and just didn't hit the right note. It could have used a tad bit more seasoning or caramelization.

Part of a local minichain, CBbC Marina Sta Eulaia not only has the ideal location in Santa Eulaia,…read morebut also the very best seafood. A combination of locals, tourists and yacht owners make up their very affluent clientele. The service can be spotty on busyness nights, but is always good. Located at the end of marina you feel like you are in the middle of the water (and you are). Great experience. This is Ibiza!

If you going to the beach in Las Salinas then you must take a visit to Jockey Club. The drinks are…read moregreat, food looked appetizing and the music was excellent. The bar/restaurant looked as if it could be located in the side of a beach on the Caribbean with its open areas and dried palm leaved roofs. You can sit for some food with full service, but there is also a self-service area for food and drinks for a lesser price. I recommend you take a visit here, then after you're relaxing drink go to the beach and come back for another!

Once of the nicer restaurants around town, it has a wide ranging menu and has a good choice of…read moreseafood, meats, and paella. Make sure you make a reservation, otherwise, you will not get seated. If you can get there early enough around 8pm, you'll get a nice seat on the ledge facing the water. The restaurant has a great view of the water and you can see the sunset as you begin your dinner. Also if you look hard, you can see the Ibiza terrain in the horizon. The paella is the best we've had on the island. Nice flavor that is not overwhelming and perfectly done rice. I had the fish of the day and that was very well prepared as well. I'd say that you should know how to pick out the bones though! Not something everyone can do well. I noticed a lot of people ordered the fresh lobster. It's a bit of an upscale place, so I think a lot of people come here as their nice meal for the vacation or to celebrate something. Put this place on your list of restaurants to visit on the island!

People really like this restaurant. Like a lot. I've spoken to a few people who think it's the best…read moreplace here on the island. I don't subscribe to that notion. It is good though. I will say that. My wife and I came in here for a lunch during the season when we both had the day off (can you even believe it?!) because we wanted to see what all the fuss was about. The service was good, as you might expect from a place with a higher price point like this one. They did do one thing that I wasn't a fan of but I'll get to that later. First the food. The standouts: we ordered the octopus here, as I've been know to do at many a restaurant all over the world. Octopus is delicious, so it makes sense. Because it is one of my favorite dishes, I have ordered it in many places and had it prepared many different ways. The grilled octopus here though, was the best octopus I've ever had anywhere. That's not even hyperbole. I honestly couldn't believe how good it was. I think that whenever people order a specific dish at various places, they expect it to taste a certain way and have a certain texture, etc. This was the case for me as well when I ordered this, and the flavor was out of this world, BUT, it was the texture that sold me. The waiter told me that they boil the octopus first and then grill it, so the texture is maybe a bit different from what you expect when you have grilled octopus at a different place. It was perfect. Literally flawless. There was nothing they could have done to this starter to make it better. It is now #1 on my list. The desert we had was also quite good. We ordered it on a whim because I'm not really a dessert guy but it was a good call. Cream, pistachios, what I'm assuming was some sort of graham cracker crust or something similar. It was surprisingly good, especially for someone who isn't a fan of dessert. This leads me to the item that wasn't stand out: the paella. We ordered the paella with lobster (obviously) and like you do whenever you order lobster, the waiter went in the back and brought out a live lobster to show you. This is one of the ridiculous things that they do in all restaurants (and completely unnecessary i might add) but it happens. The joke is, that a place will show you a lobster from their tank, and then when they are making your food they will make it with a lobster they have frozen in the back. I know for a fact that places do this. I'm not going to accuse Es Calo of doing this. What I will say, is the lobster they brought out to show us was definitely NOT the one in the paella. The one they showed us didn't have claws, and our paella lobster did. This is important because the lobsters without claws tend to cost more money. I wasn't ready to stress about it because for me lobster is lobster, but it must be said that they tried to pull the old switcheroo on me. That being said, while the paella was good, it wasn't the best paella I've had on the island, and it was amongst the most expensive. If I go back I probably won't be ordering the paella but that's no big deal. If you're wondering, my wife did actually talk to the waiter about the lobster switch, and he apologized (he wasn't the person who brought out the livelobster, it was someone else) but for me it wasn't a huge deal. This place is good and has things that are fantastic, but I wouldn't call it the best restaurant here.

This is the restaurant that services the Playa de Levant.

Your best bet is to get to the beach before noon. Make a reservation once you get to the beach so you can make sure you get a table. Normally, lunch is served 2pm or later! The food is good. Not spectacular, but good and typical island menu. I'd say that you come here for the convenience of eating right off the beach and also the view. You can also sit on the sandy part of the of the restaurant that faces the beach. They have an Iberico ham specialist slicing up plates of ham. Antoni is a nice guy. When the wind is coming from the south and this beach is calm, the boats will all anchor on this side. This causes a big crowd to come in for lunch so, plan ahead.
