Every year, winter on Ibiza feels like a little surprise box. Some restaurants stay open, others head off on their winter holidays—but don’t worry! I keep rounding up some short lists of fantastic spots where the whole family can enjoy food, fun, and enjoy some island sunshine. Just a heads up—before you head out, it’s always good to give them a quick call, as some owners like to take surprise vacations during the quieter months.
Now, let's get ready for some delicious family adventures on the island:
South (East & West)
Restaurante Sa Caleta
