Ibiza, the Spanish island known for its enchanting beaches and vibrant nightlife, also offers unforgettable culinary experiences. The most famous food in Ibiza is undoubtedly the
Ibizan paella
featuring fresh seafood brought directly from fishing boats to restaurants. Whether you eat paella in the shade of an ancient olive tree or at the edge of the sea, the taste of paella is always delectable!
Culinary treasures of Ibiza
But in Ibiza, of course, you can enjoy many more delicacies than just the world-famous paella. Other worthwhile culinary delights include tapas, sobrasada (spicy sausage) and flaó (traditional cheesecake with mint). We’d like to tell you more about that below.
Traditional tapas
Tapas are popular throughout Spain, but in Ibiza they are often given a special local accent. Using island ingredients such as fresh fish and seafood and locally grown vegetables and herbs, beautiful small dishes are created with a starring role for local flavors. Well-known types of tapas are
croquetas
(croquettes),
pimientos de padrón
(small green peppers) and
tortilla Española
(omelet with potatoes and onion). These are often served in the bars and restaurants in the cozy streets of Dalt Vila or coastal towns such as Santa Eulalia.
Authentic sobrasada
The sobrasada is another staple of Ibizan cuisine. This is a spreadable chorizo made from pork and seasoned with paprika. This sausage is delicious on a piece of baguette but can also be transformed into an upscale tapas appetizer with a nice piece of cheese on top plus a green olive and some olive oil. Feast!
Flaó: sweet dessert
Flaó is a typical Ibizan dessert: cheesecake (
tarta de queso)
with mint and a hint of anise. After baking in the oven, granulated sugar is sprinkled over the cake. A favorite with locals and visitors alike, this dish is a nice sweet ending to a typical Ibizan meal.
