Our Favourites
Set on a beautiful bay along Ibiza’s southern coast, Casa Jondal focuses on seafood, specialising in seasonal dishes. With a laid-back atmosphere and Ibiza-style décor using rustic materials, the restaurant is the island’s premier lunchtime dining destination. Led by world renowned chef Rafa Zafra, the kitchen brigade prepares exquisite food with minimal preparation, using the best produce treated with the greatest respect and expertise.
With previous experience as head chef at El Buli, one of the world’s finest restaurants, and at famed Estima restaurants in Barcelona and Madrid, Rafa Zafra offers a stunning Mediterranean inspired menu.
"I WOULD EVEN SAY THAT CASA JONDAL HAS PLACED IBIZA MORE ON THE MAP SINCE ITS 2020 OPENING. THE CONCEPT OF LETTING THE FOOD AND ENVIRONMENT SPEAK FOR ITSELF BY NOT PLAYING MUSIC SAYS ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID."
KARL NILSSON, FOUNDER, LUCIBELLO
In our opinion, Casa Jondal is the undoubted star of Ibiza’s thriving beach restaurant scene. Diners experience a winning combination of exceptional food and excellent location while seated on a shaded terrace beneath twisting Sabina trees. Service, like the delicious dishes, can’t be faulted. It’s hardly surprising that the restaurant consistently gains rave reviews, firmly placing Casa Jondal as the island’s premier place for lunch.
Not surprisingly, given Casa Jontal’s beach location, seafood dominates the restaurant’s menu. Lovers of raw dishes may choose from oysters, either with herb oil, finger lime and grapefruit or with acid apple, ginger and celery, red prawn carpaccio or clams with bay leaves and lemon vinaigrette. Sauté dishes include mussels in spicy ‘marinera’, razor clams with sherry wine and garlic and langoustine with garlic, fried eggs and fries.
Among other dishes from the sea, grilled scallops in ‘brown butter’ sauce with baby onions, whole grilled lobster with garlic, fried stingray with ‘Santalucar’ dressing and deep fried scorpion with corn ‘tortillas’, tartar sauce and ‘pico de gallo’ are firm favourites. Carnivores are not forgotten, as the menu finds room for ‘rubia gallega’ beef cured like ham, grilled Iberian pork tenderloin, ‘moralejos’ grilled suckling lamb chops in garlic, and marinated and grilled free-farm chicken. Raw, fried, boiled and cured caviar dishes feature prominently among the ‘Specials’.
Many Lucibello clients agree with us that Casa Jondal is one of the most impressive seafood restaurants in the Mediterranean and certainly the best restaurant in Ibiza. Like us, they enjoy the visually appealing setting of Cala Jondal, a beautiful bay with a beach surrounded by lofty pine trees and cliffs. Ultimately, Rafa Zafra’s restaurant is the epitome of good taste and charm.
"I DON'T WANT JONDAL TO BECOME A GOURMET RESTAURANT, SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEACH CHIRINGUITOS WITH THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD."
