On an island famous for its beaches and parties, there is a corner where true luxury is sitting by the sea with a steaming individual rice dish and a well-chosen wine. Welcome to La Boca Junta, the Portinatx restaurant that is winning hearts (and palates) with an unforgettable offering. The secret? Quality ingredients and a fusion between the Mediterranean and Asturias that awakens all five senses.
1. Soulful cuisine and ingredients with a name of their own
La Boca Junta is a statement of intent. Here, ingredient-led cooking is not a slogan, it is a reality. The octopus they serve, for example, is not just any octopus, it is from El Viejo Pescador, chosen as the best in the world at the Great Taste Awards. And when it reaches your table, accompanied by exquisite rice, it becomes poetry.
2. A menu that fuses north and south in every bite
One of La Boca Junta’s hallmarks is its variety of individual rice dishes, a rare offering on the island. The red prawn carpaccio rice is pure Ibiza. The Cantabrian octopus rice is pure north. Together, they create a gastronomic journey you will only experience here.
3. A landscape that takes your breath away
Have you ever dreamed of eating by a crystal-clear cove, with music playing in the background and the breeze caressing your skin? At La Boca Junta, that dream comes true every day. Located at the s’Arenal Petit cove in Portinatx, this restaurant is also a viewpoint over the Mediterranean. A place to disconnect, celebrate and savour.
4. A project with roots and passion
La Boca Junta is the result of the vision of a group of Asturian hospitality professionals with over two decades of experience in the sector, who decided to bring the flavours of northern Spain to the Balearic island. Their vision has been key in establishing the restaurant as a benchmark in Ibiza’s gastronomic scene. Alongside them, singer Melendi contributes not only his enthusiasm as a partner, but also the name of the venue, inspired by one of his songs.
5. Awards that endorse its excellence
In 2024, La Boca Junta was awarded ‘Taberna Deluxe’ at the ELLE Gourmet Awards, and rightly so.
