In the southeast of the island, after descending a dizzying road that runs along the Es Cubells cliff, barely marked by a sign, lies Ses Boques Restaurant.
One of those places that refuses to transcend the hustle and bustle of Ibiza in summer, a restaurant that seems purposefully nestled in a secluded corner of the island. Since its founding more than 50 years ago, like a secret passed on by word of mouth, it has managed to discreetly maintain its fame and perfectly combine the intimate, family-oriented spirit that characterized it from the beginning with a more relaxed feel typical of modern Ibiza.
Its cuisine, based on typical Ibizan dishes and local produce, is enriched with innovative touches that make it unique and unrepeatable.
Highlights include typical island starters and more unique dishes such as the “super salad” and “pan-fried clams,” as well as rice dishes, fish and seafood dishes such as sautéed lobster with fried eggs, potatoes, and truffle pearls; and original desserts such as the Ibizan lemon tart.
The sea, just steps from the restaurant, and the terrace shaded by pine and juniper trees create a special atmosphere that permeates the restaurant and carries over to the dishes.
Ses Boques is one of those restaurants that is told like a secret we all wish someone would tell us when we hear about Ibiza.
