Out of the all the restaurants in Ibiza, my old friend, who lives and works in Ibiza and has done for at least 20 years, recommended, this was the must go to.
Ibiza Food Studio changes its menu seasonally and the Folklore menu that I had, a set menu, changes weekly. The ingredients are sourced locally and this is my favourite aspect of any restaurant that does this.
I was given a seat right by the kitchen which wasn't as hot as I was expecting, there are plenty of fans inside. I got to watch the chefs cook - I am a big fan of the open kitchen.
What can I say about the food? It was exquisite. I probably ordered a bit too much. Note to self, the additional side of cured meats will probably take me over the edge again in terms of how full I felt. However, the food was so good that I finished it all.
I had four starters (you get them all with the set menu):
- Sourdough Breads . Aioli . Butter with Herbs
- The Food Studio Ribs
- Kale with Dill
- Baba Ganoush with Black Tru ffle
...to which I added:
- Local Charcuterie with Pickles & Condiments
...then main:
- Pollo Payes (local organic, free range chicken) served with Condiments Fresh from Local Markets & Farms
...and to finish:
- White Chocolate Cake . Ibiza Strawberries . Sa fron
The food flowed brilliantly from one course to another with attentive, descriptive service when each dish came. All the starters had complementary tastes with one as sublime as the next.
I didn't sample any wine, but the wine list is well thought out and a lot larger than I was expecting for a small restaurant.
Overall a fantastic experience.
I will definitely come here again next time I am in Ibiza.
Highly recommended. In fact, in my friend's words, this is the closest to London high end in Ibiza. I would say it's right there with them.
