Finding reliable restaurants outside the summer season can be a challenge in Ibiza, especially for travellers who visit in spring, autumn or winter. Many establishments operate only during peak months, which often leaves visitors unsure about where to enjoy a good meal during quieter periods. Sant Antoni de Portmany, however, offers several solid dining options that remain open throughout the year and maintain consistent quality.
This guide highlights six restaurants that stand out for their service, atmosphere and food, providing practical recommendations for anyone visiting Ibiza at any time of the year.
Can Pujol: a seafront classic for authentic Ibizan flavours
Located on the road to Port des Torrent, Can Pujol has been serving traditional Ibizan seafood since 1980. The restaurant follows a very clear philosophy: local fish, simple preparations and recipes that reflect the island’s maritime heritage. Dishes such as bullit de peix with arroz a banda, grilled fish and seafood platters are the core of its menu.
The terrace faces the sea, and visitors often comment on the gentle breeze that reaches the tables and the peaceful movement of the small boats nearby. It is a place that focuses on authenticity rather than complexity, making it an excellent choice for travellers who want a straightforward, high-quality seafood experience.
Es Nàutic: harbour views and Mediterranean cooking with style
Situated inside Sant Antoni’s marina, Es Nàutic offers a bright dining room with direct views over the harbour. Its modern design and calm interior make it suitable for both daytime meals and evening dinners.
Es Nàutic specialises in Mediterranean and Ibizan cuisine, with dishes such as red prawns, fresh fish of the day and a selection of rice dishes. Traditional island meals like bullit de peix appear alongside modern presentations, giving diners a reliable blend of local flavours and contemporary technique. The setting, with boats reflected in the water below, creates a relaxed environment that complements the food.
Golden Buddha: sunset dining with an easygoing atmosphere
Golden Buddha is known for its informal character and its large terrace facing the sunset. Located on Santa Rosalia Street, it attracts visitors who want a relaxed dinner with a view while staying close to the centre of Sant Antoni.
The menu includes tapas, international dishes, vegetarian options and a wide selection of cocktails. While the terrace is a highlight during the warmer months, the indoor area remains open all year. The restaurant offers a casual setting with visual appeal, thanks to the changing colours of the sky at sunset and the sound of the sea just a few metres away.
Hostal La Torre: a cliff-top restaurant ideal for quiet meals
Hostal La Torre, situated in Cap Negret, is well known among visitors looking for calm surroundings and striking views. Despite being part of an accommodation complex, the restaurant has its own identity and attracts people who appreciate Mediterranean dishes served in a scenic setting.
The terrace is positioned on the edge of a cliff, offering open views of the coastline. Meals are accompanied by the sound of waves and the warm evening light reflecting on the sea. The menu focuses on fresh salads, tapas, grilled dishes and seasonal options. It is a reliable choice for travellers who want a quieter dining experience away from the centre of town.
Es Ventall: traditional Ibizan cuisine with a contemporary approach
Es Ventall is one of Sant Antoni’s most respected restaurants, with more than 35 years of history. It combines traditional Ibizan cooking with modern techniques, using ingredients from its own garden and local suppliers. Wood-fire cooking is a key feature, especially in its reinterpretations of classic island dishes.
Visitors can expect traditional meals such as sofrit pagès and bullit de peix, along with contemporary dishes that maintain a strong connection to the island’s culinary heritage. The dining room has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, making it a solid option for travellers who are interested in understanding Ibiza’s gastronomy through well-prepared, carefully presented dishes.
Restaurante Grill Sant Antoni: reliable wood-fired cooking in the centre of town
Restaurante Grill Sant Antoni focuses on wood-fired and charcoal cooking. It is an ideal option for travellers who prefer meat dishes or want a break from seafood. The menu includes steaks, burgers, sirloin tataki and grilled specialities with a clear emphasis on flavour and simplicity.
The restaurant has a rustic and casual atmosphere, which works well for families, groups or visitors seeking a straightforward and satisfying meal. Although seafood options are available, the strength of the restaurant lies in its meat dishes and the consistency of the grill.
A year-round food scene that helps travellers plan with confidence
These six restaurants demonstrate that Sant Antoni offers dependable dining options throughout the year. Whether visitors arrive during the winter months or the height of summer, they will find a variety of places serving quality meals, from seafood institutions to modern Mediterranean dining and wood-fired grills.
Each restaurant provides its own style and strengths, helping travellers build an itinerary with reliable, satisfying meals at any time of the year.
