On the list of must-visit restaurants in Ibiza, the name Villa Mercedes shines particularly bright, season after season. A restaurant that advocates the local products of Ibiza and is located in the only stately beachfront villa on the island, where since the early 20th century, time has stood still among the lush gardens and large spaces. It’s a place where quality products and traceability are order of the day, along with its signature cocktails, all served to the beat of live music under a starlit sky.
A gastronomic temple in Sant Antoni
The kitchen at this iconic restaurant in the Grupo Mambo chain, located in the very heart of the promenade at Sant Antoni de Portmany, is an authentic temple where the best fish, seafood and vegetables are prepared with care. A proposal that seeks to immerse its guests in an atmosphere of flavour, elegance and entertainment, offering a cosmopolitan and exclusive atmosphere with the best views over San Antonio Bay.
«Our menu flies the flag for char-grilled dishes that enhance the natural and authentic flavours of each product, a hallmark of Grupo Mambo, fusing traditional techniques with a modern touch to delight both meat lovers and those who prefer vegetarian options», explains Villa Mercedes.
Dishes that celebrate Ibiza’s essence
Each Villa Mercedes recipe is made by carefully selecting its products to guarantee their freshness and quality, with the minimum intervention to preserve their essence. Among the variety of dishes on offer are grilled artichokes with romesco sauce; grilled leek with brava sauce; grilled seabass; and Ibizan sofrit octopus stew. The grilled boneless free-range chicken thigh; the premium Friesian beef steak; or the Angus skirt steak, are some of the options for lovers of meat, while the rice dishes take on a starring role this season with versions like the senyoret a la llauna (shelled mixed seafood paella), arroz de picantón a la llauna (poussin chicken paella) or vegetable paella with creamy rice.
In the sweet section, the Ibizan herb-infused pineapple with crème brûlée and coconut and lime ice cream, is one of the must-eat desserts of the 2025, so are the house cheesecake and the ‘choco-latísimo’ brownie. There is also an interesting section of sharing tapas, such as ham or mushroom and Gorgonzola croquettes; Andalusian-style calamari or beef carpaccio with Parmesan, allowing diners to enjoy a diverse and complete culinary experience.
Private events with stunning sea views
In addition to its rich gastronomic offer, Villa Mercedes has a private area for events, with easy access for transport and an outdoor stage for presentations, ideal for all kinds of celebrations, private or business events.
Located just a few metres from the sea, Villa Mercedes is the ideal place to kick-start a night out in Ibiza with your family, partner or friends, sheltered by the lush vegetation formed of cacti, yuccas, palms, reeds and ferns that populate the large garden areas. In addition, this establishment has a chill-out area where you can enjoy a wide range of cocktails.
