Bit of a run down from my "Tell us how it was..." of latest trip...
Sa Punta - Bit of a special one for us, we did a big family meal here 2 nights before we got married in Ibiza 8 years ago...Dinner booked at 9pm...still as beautiful as ever and food was excellent. We had a prawn tempura and a crayfish carpacio, then a ribeye and a black cod and then shared a tiramisu and had coffees and cocktails and wine. Service was ok...there was a waiter who seated us and sorted drinks etc who you could tell was an old pro and then a newer waiter took our order and served from that point, he was fine just less confident. Place was packed with lots of French and Dutch and a big table celebrating a birthday who they did sparklers for and a cake etc. Gorgeous views here so ideal for an occasion.
Ses Boques - Hadn't been here before but this I think was the best meal we had and at half the price of Sa Punta the night before. Lunch at 3pm...We ordered the Sea Bass cooked in salt and had some pimientos de padron and some garlic prawns while we waited as the main was going to take 40 mins. All the starters and the bread were amazing and the wine we ordered was fantastic at 30euros. When the fish came it came with veggies and potatoes and the fish was just the best fish Ive ever tasted...so fresh! Another tiramisu to share and chupitos with the bill as it should be. The setting again is beautiful, it is a secluded spot on a beach. Service was spot on, he was very professional but also friendly and gave us some good recommendations. This will become a regular fixture.
Es Moli de Sal (Formentera) - Friday was boat day and we had a lunch reservation here - again hadn't visited before. Lunch booked for 1430, we were both hungry and decided to go for the paella de carabineros and we had some anchoas and a burrata to share while we waited along with the usual bread and aioli. The place was packed! Lots of people from boats, lots of big tables and all ordering the big paellas or big orders of fish and seafood...it was a real hive of activity with waiters running around all over the place! When the food came it was incredible, one of the best paellas Ive had - every mouthfull of rice had that deep smokey flavour...we didnt leave any! Tiramisu to share and coffees...no chupitos which was a little disappointing but did get a handshake from the waiter...again he looked as though he had worked there all his life and was very proud to have done so....amazing service. Tiramisu was a little disappointing not quite as boozy as the other two we had but was nice all the same. Bill came in more or less the same as Sa Punta but we had less booze here so food was deffo more expensive. A great experience and would go back happily but hopefully not footing the whole bill next time!
Mariner - This was on the last night before we flew home. We had a nightmare getting back from Salinas so we headed straight there which wasn't ideal but I think we pulled it off without anyone realizing! I had a huge plate of jamon to start which was great and the wife had some tempura prawns, then I had an octopus dish for main which was very tasty with a mille feuille potato which was delicious. Wife had a black cod dish which she enjoyed although she did say the aubergine beneath it had a strange texture - tasted fine to me. I had a caramalised french toast with a custard to finish off. Setting was nice just off the port area of Ibiza town...nice and buzzy and good service again. Price was reasonable as well - bill was a good 100 euros less than sa punta and es moli de sal. Would deffo eat here again - was perfect location for where we stayed as well.
