During the Christmas period, there are plenty of plans to enjoy Ibiza’s cuisine. Out of the many proposals, we especially recommend the ones hosted by Casa Maca:

• Cena Uncommon sense: a sensory food experience led by the chef Boris Buono whilst listening to music played by DJ Buda. Date: 22nd December. Phone: 971 806 864.
• Sunday Roast: a very British meal that Casa Maca serves every Sunday. The traditional roast beef with its Yorkshire pudding and accompanied by a Bloody Mary and live music.

And if you’re looking for a meal on the most important Christmas dates, don’t forget the New Year’s Eve dinner at Casa Maca or the Christmas dinner, Sant Esteban lunch on Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve dinner at Hostal La Torre.
