Guarana



Located inside the beautiful Ses Salines Natural Park, Guarana restaurant offers a pleasant day surrounded by nature at the top end of Las Salinas beach. Offering a varied selection of delicious Mediterranean dishes you might be surprised to see Bogavante Frito on the menu … served with a “broken” egg and potatoes. It’s certainly not the most obvious way to serve lobster but be rest assured it is delicious non-the-less. And if the idea of eating lobster with “egg and chips” doesn’t sit so well you can still enjoy it in a magnificent paella.

Es Torrent

You’ll find it hard to beat a better selection of fresh fish dishes anywhere else on Ibiza island and the lobster at EsTorrents is no exception. At Es Torrent no other crustacean is more highly valued than the red Palinurus Elephas lobster that breeds along the Ibizan coast. Es Torrent prepare their lobsters in different ways to ensure that the succulent flesh and unique flavours are enjoyed at their best. Stewed, flambéed, grilled or sautéed with garlic and chilli. However you would like it prepared you can guarantee it will be exquisite.

Ibizan lobsters have a very specific flavour and texture due to their specific habitat and has earnt them the title “Sabors d’Eivissa” which differentiates them from other lobsters caught elsewhere in the Mediterranean. It is an exquisite taste and should be savoured at least once in a lifetime. And in this seemingly private hideaway between the bays of Porroig and Sa Caixota could there be a better place …

Can Rafalet

Be Charter Ibiza Top Tip: Wherever you choose to eat your lobster, if you select a whole one most restaurants will charge by weight. When you are presented with your lobster (and before the restaurant cooks it) make sure your waiter confirms the weight for you so there are no ugly surprises when your bill arrives.
