El Bigotes

Top choice in Ibiza

LoginSave

Known far and wide, this simple, welcoming seafood shack juts out into glittering clear waters at the northeastern end of Cala Mastella. There are two daily sittings: noon for grilled fish and 2pm for bullit de peix (fish stew with herbs, vegetables and potatoes). Finish with an Ibizan-special Caleta coffee. Book ahead by phone or in person. Cash only.

To get here, clamber over the rocks from Cala Mastella or, if driving along the coast to/from Cala Boix, take the signposted turn-off just east of the Cala Mastella turn-off.
