Ibiza Cuisine

Mediterranean food culture is known throughout the world for its health benefits and the freshness of its ingredients. Among its different variations, Ibiza cuisine is characterised by its use of very fresh meat, fish and vegetables as the main elements of the dish, with very simple dressings and sauces that simply help to enhance the flavor of the main raw material.

Eating in Ibiza is a pleasure, and we have many dishes worth trying. If you haven’t yet decided on what to choose, today we recommend the top traditional dishes you should try on your visit:

Bullit de peix

Bullit de peix (fish stew), also known as guisat de peix, is a very typical food in Ibiza. It is, as its name suggests, a spectacular fish and potato casserole, the star of which can be grouper, skate or sole, alongside shrimps and even lobster.

Borrida de rajada

One of the most striking dishes of Ibiza and yet, one of the easiest to prepare. Simply dip skate fillets in boiling water with some potatoes; add chopped garlic, parsley, almonds, bread and saffron; mix with a beaten egg and let it simmer. The result is exquisite.

Sofrit pages

This dish is a clear example that Ibiza food does not only includes seafood. The sofrit pages is a traditional dish made from Ibiza lamb and chicken cooked with lard. A delicatessen traditionally served during festivals and celebrations.

Flao

By far, the most famous Ibizan food all over the world. This cake is made with flour and cheese, and obtains its distinctive touch from anise and mint leaves (more info).
