Ibiza, tips from Lost in Cities.
Ibiza isn't just about its golden beaches and electrifying nights. Behind the tourist hotspots, the island reveals a culinary richness that's still largely unknown. Stemming from farming and maritime traditions, Ibizan gastronomy offers an authentic immersion into the Mediterranean soul. Between local products, ancestral recipes, and multicultural influences, head for the flavors of Ibiza.
Ibizan cuisine draws inspiration from its natural surroundings. It features simple, fresh, and flavorful ingredients: grilled fish, seafood, olive oil, aromatic herbs, seasonal vegetables, and sun-drenched fruits. The island's terroir is enhanced in recipes passed down from generation to generation.
Here are some local specialties not to be missed:
Bullit de peix: A fish stew served with rice cooked in the broth – a must-try.
Sofrit pagès: A festive dish made with lamb, pork, chicken, potatoes and local sausages.
Ensalada payesa: A salad of potatoes, onions, peppers and dried fish (gerret).
Flaó: Sweet tart with fresh cheese flavored with mint – perfect for dessert
Ibiza is full of artisan markets where you can sample goat cheese, hillside honey, roasted almonds, and fresh figs. When it comes to drinks, the island also produces its own wines and a local herbal liqueur: Hierbas Ibicencas.
For a complete immersion, nothing better than:
Eat in a traditional finca.
Book a local cooking class.
Share dinner in a beach bar with your feet in the sand.
Ibiza's culinary scene is also opening up to modernity: there are fusion restaurants, vegan and organic restaurants, and chefs who revisit Ibizan classics with creativity.
Discovering Ibiza also means tasting its flavors. Behind every dish, a story. Behind every ingredient, a culture. A journey for the taste buds... and for the soul.
