I've been to a lot of the restaurants here in Formentera. Most of them have been great honestly. A…read morefew have not. But for the most part it's hard to find a restaurant here where you don't eat well. Having said that, Quimera is for me, the best place on the island to eat. It is certainly the best place I've tried. Let me start this review by going back in time a little bit: Some years ago there was a restaurant here called Can Dani. It was very good and very popular, especially when the good people from Michelin decided to give Can Dani a star. That's right: there was a restaurant on this tiny island that had a Michelin star. In fact, it was the only restaurant in all the Baleares to be given that distinction. Very impressive I know. The restaurant and since closed, and their chef has moved on....and she now plies her trade at Quimera, the small restaurant located in Hostal La Savina. Quimera is very understated but don't underestimate this place, it is very VERY good. Hostal La Savina is actually very well known for its cocktails (for my money, it has cocktails on par with Hotel Cala Saona, which makes the best cocktails on the island for me) which is great because if you eat at the restaurant you can order one of their specialty cocktails if you so choose. There is also a very good wine selection as you might expect. But the food here, when you order something, you don't feel at all like you're in a restaurant in Formentera. The dishes are different, and the presentation is on a completely different level. Something else you might expect from a chef who was in charge of a Michelin starred restaurant. We ordered the "lamina" of prawns to start, which is a relatively popular dish here in Spain but I don't recall it ever being better than here at Quimera. Mango, lime and pistachio give it all types of flavor, which is impressive for such a light dish. The scallops were also incredible. They come with lavender, parmesan, and almonds. Absolutely exquisite. But both of these starters were just that: starters. They certainly leave you wanting more because they don't give you a large portion. That's ok. We ordered the lobster and the beef as the main dishes. The lobster came out first, which is for lack of a better word, deconstructed. As you can see from my photo there is grilled lobster tail, a lobster soup, a sauce for your tail and bread that also has lobster on it. On the menu it says "lobster in all it's essence." This couldn't be more true. Not to mention the fact that it was absolutely AMAZING. The soup alone i would buy and just keep in my house for later. Everything was so good. Our final main course was the beef, which comes in a very rich sauce with sweetbread, blue cheese, and fruits, which i'm assuming help comprise the sauce. Also RIDICULOUS. so succulent and juicy. The beef is cooked to perfection also so you don't have to feel like the sauce is doing all the heavy lifting. The funny thing about the entire night was, we were expecting to pay much more than we did. I don't quite remember the tally but it was much less than we thought we would be paying when we decided to go. I don't particularly care about the price of a restaurant if I eat well, and you can't eat much better than this place. You should certainly try it out when you're here!

We had booked a table, and getting to this place wasn't easy. Maybe our expectations were high coming from the States, but with the prices here, you'd expect something more exciting. On the positive side, the sand floor gives a nice beach vibe, and the food quality was actually very good -- can't lie about that.

The place is quite small and cozy. I really liked the design. You're sitting on white chairs by white tables on white sand by a small white box building where the chefs has high white chef's caps. The gazpacho was great and next time I'll take the paella. Beso has a little shop with nice things from Formentera and the only thing I would like is that you would be able to see the beach and the sunset from the restaurant (which you can't unfortunately cause the place is hidden in the bushes). To find Beso Beach, go to the south part of Illietes and look for a big "B" in the bushes or ask any taxi driver.

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.

Nice restaurant! They had the people outside calling potential customers off the street which I…read moreusually would walk straight past, but happily I didn't. I sat on the right side of the restaurant which had the "nicer" dinner menu. On the left they have the more casual menu, which you might have to ask them for, but looked good. In any case, my bread, olives, aioli, and mussels were all great. They have many fish possibilities if you're there with a larger party - I'm sure it would be delicious. In all, I'd visit this restaurant again for sure.

DO NOT GO HERE!!!! We should have read the Google reviews…read morebefore going to this restaurant. All the bad reviews are absolutely correct! The owner / manager / supervisor was EXTREMELY rude and unwelcoming! One of the female waitresses moved us to a table at the front and the owner had the audacity to approach us and state that 'these tables are for people who are eating'. I explained that we had requested a menu from the waitress and that she had moved us to the table. We have traveled all over the world and have NEVER been spoken to so badly, or been embarrassed so much in front of other patrons. We should have left at this moment! Horrendously expensive and when we paid, the staff member did not even acknowledge us. There was one nice waitress whom I thanked before we left. To the owner, your current 3.7 rating will plummet further. You should not be in a customer service industry and you are an embarrassment to the Island!! I give you zero stars out of five!
