ES Rickshaw Calle San Vicente, Santa Eulalia. Click here for more info |
Es Rickshaw is the exception by virtue of having a 'rickshaw' parked on the outside pavement. This exceptionally distinctive feature makes the restaurant unmissable, but also gives a clue to another important message. Most of the restaurants on the street are of generally restricted space and would have slotted at least another two tables into the space occupied by the emblematic rickshaw. |

Cardamom Club Click here for more info |
The restaurant brings together cuisine from the different regions of India such as Goa, Kerela, Punjab, Andra Pradesh and Kashmir. Choose from a delicious array of dishes from the chalkboard menu including the tempting tandoori Dorada (sea bream cooked in the traditional clay oven) or try braised duck breast with a tangy tamarind sauce or roast rack of lamb with masala mash. |

Situated on ´Restaurant Street`, a few yards down from Sandys Bar on the opposite side of road, Palardi, with its 5 year pedigree, offers a wonderfully inviting mix of reasonably priced, mouthwatering international cuisine curtesy of chef Harvey, together with friendly and colourful service (not just the yellow tshirts!) from Steve and his team. |
The restaurant street of Santa Eulalia is renowned across the island and very much lives up to it's name, comprising seventeen restaurants almost door to door along its 200 metre length. There is so much competition for pavement space on this street that they put big tubs of flowers out to prevent traffic from using it, otherwise no customers would be able to reach any of the restaurants and the occasional busker or fire-eater would have no stage upon which to perform! One might expect a fair bit of variety and one will not be disappointed. Starting from the town hall in the main square one first encounters:
The Royalty
C/. San Jaime, Santa Eulalia.
San Jaime is the main street through Santa Eulalia and this bar holds pole position on the corner of the main ‘Paseo’ (town square) nearest to the ‘Ajuntamiento’ (town hall). A big place with a restaurant at one end and a large ‘living room’ of many tables where the local aristocracy enjoy cream cakes and other pastries over coffee. The main action however is on the pavement which wraps around the street corner. Here the beautiful and rich sun themselves all year round on what amounts to centre stage in Santa Eulalia.
Brasserie Dede
The first restaurant on the left hand side as you enter "restaurant street" from the Town Hall. A vary varied selection of high-class international cuisine. Everything from tapas of frogs legs & salmon spinach to salmon & goats cheese starters, whole roast chicken in brandy sauce, steak tartare and beef filet in various sauces. They also have a nice garden for those long summer evenings.
Restaurant Juanito
A small and fairly inexpensive Spanish restaurant that has a small interior but seems to have a better share of external pavement space than most of its larger neighbours.
Hostal Central
This restaurant is actually the ground floor of a hotel, but is nonetheless popular with the Germans. This could be because the proprietor is German, or more likely because the food is ratedly highly by the local German community who tell all their friends?
Palardi Restaurant
Tel: 971 33 60 39
Bright and typical ibizan colour scheme of gold and blues, comfortable and very reasonably priced. They also do a set-priced "Sunday" dinner and vegetarian dishes.
Pato Pekin
This is a beautiful ornately decorated Chinese restaurant considered by locals to be the best of the four in town. Being a Chinese it also has the additional and unusual benefit - that it stays open all year round, which is rare for the restaurant street despite being in the middle of a town that's not as seasonal as the rest. The other reason that I'm being so nice about them is that they always offer me a beer on the house whilst I'm waiting for my take-away!
La Bota
Offer a wide range of pizzas which, as you might expect, can also be taken away. Sometimes it is nice though to eat your pizza at a table on the pavement outside and watch all the other hungry people judiciously studying the rows of menu boards as they make their gradual progress along the street.
Can Miguel
Has a feel and décor reminiscent of a canteen inside, but the prices of its predominantly Spanish style menu are consequently somewhat cheaper than those of its immediate competition with more palatial premises.
Can Pere Cellar
This huge restaurant stretches all the way through to the parallel Main street and comprises several large dining rooms, this allows diners a sense of space inside that is rare on this busy street. The kitchen must also be large judging by the extent of the menu, and subsequently the bills too?
Mama Rosa - The Gallery
This restaurant is under relatively new management and seems to have changed somewhat, but looks nice. Their menu is interesting featuring dishes with odd names like 'Artists Pallette' and 'Up Pompeii', albeit described in mouthwartering detail. A novel approach to such a competitive environment.
Es Rickshaw (971 330 123)
This is the latest arrival on the street and making itself noticeable by parking a rickshaw on the pavement where any other self-respecting restaurant on this road would have slotted in one, if not two, extra tables? The menu looks interesting, if slightly more expensive than the competition, but the middle bit of the street is for the posher restaurants anyway, and rickshaws don't come cheap.
Ca Na Ribes
This is probably the poshest restaurant on the street. Certainly the most palatial. The beautiful central courtyard has a tree growing in it. Again there are several different dining environments and a lengthy menu. This restaurant is the place to find the local dignitaries impressing their wives, and the deputy mayor who owns it.
Taberna Andaluz
This is a beautifully typical Andalucian restaurant that used to sell equally typical Andalucian tapas. This year it has been taken over by British owners and has a British chef. Don't expect fish n' chips or jellied eels though, the menu is very cosmopolitan. Prices look reasonable and the décor very Andalucian.
Rincon de Pepe
Calle San Vicente (the Restaurant Street)
At the far end of the famous 'restaurant street' of Santa Eulalia, a huge range of 'tapas' to suit all tastes. Typical Spanish setting with seating indoors and out. The food is excellent.
El Naranjo Restaurant
Calle San Jose, Santa Eulalia
Tel: 971 330 324
El Naranjo / The Orange Tree is one of the longest established established restaurants in Santa Eulalia dating back to 1976, still under the same management and many say still one of the best in town. It is quietly situated, set one street up from the "Restaurant Street", but the ambience inside is busy and friendly (very!) and the clientele international and cosmopolitan.
The team of Miguel, David and Carol will give you a warm welcome through their own individual personalities. Have a drink at the bar first and then sit down and scan the extensive and mouth watering menu. Dishes range from good international cuisine to some interesting specialities like ostrich, rabbit and suckling pig. All dishes are fresh, home-made and prices range from 1.000 - 2.300 Ptas.(6-15 euros) which is very fairly priced for the content and quality.
They are open every evening (except Mondays) throughout the season from 7.30pm till late. Booking is definitely recommended, especially at weekends.
Franks
C/. Isidoro Macabic, 32
Open all year from 7pm till late. Mediterranean and International specialise. You maybe pleasantly surprised by their special menu! Those who pass by always return.
Bar Cosmi
C/. San Jaime, Santa Eulalia.
Straight across the road from the Royalty, Bar Cosmi is where the younger and less posey set congregate. Inside is more hectic as people rush through, in between or on their way to work. The pavement outside is similar to the Royalty, but cheaper. Apparently in Franco’s days the proletariat used the Cosmi whilst those upon whom Franco smiled frequented the Royalty. Allegedly there are unrepaired bullet holes in the walls to prove this, but we can’t say that we’ve noticed them.
La Rambla
Paseo de S'Almera 18
Tel: 971 330 857
The new owners were forced to take over this larger restaurant when their original restaurant on Santa Eulalia's Restaurant street proved too small. Unlike their previous neighbours, they are open all year round (except Wednesdays) and are rewarded with a steady stream of customers, most of whom are locals.
They serve excellent pastas, pizzas and a range of other international cuisine at prices that don't appear to be possible. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and gives a unique feeling of space in a town where you can't normally push your chair back to leave your table without rearranging the tables either side of you.
In addition there is a beautiful garden with more tables for those who prefer to 'al fresco' whilst actually being in the centre of town, next door to the Post Office!
La Goya
Next door to La Rambla on the Paseo, this is another restaurant with a garden terrace upon which to dine almost oblivious to the bustle of the town's main square, yet fronting onto it.
Il Pozzo (971 338 569)
Next door to La Goya and very similar, at least in terms of secluded garden terrace.
Nina's Restaurant
C/. Isidoro Macabich 33 - Tel: 971 345 888 /
Right opposite the ferry boat terminal, this place is famous for its part in the film 'Kevin & Perry Go Large'. A nice outside terrace overlooking the sea and marina, inside is a gallery dining room often displaying the works of famous artists as you eat. Its proximity to the port ensures the high quality of the seafood in which the restaurant specialises.
Casa Colonial
A highly respected garden restaurant with a relaxed ambience and service to match. Set back above the main Ibiza - Santa Eulalia road, but sufficiently elevated that you aren't aware of the traffic.
