Eat Like Ushi

For the final lunch meal before going to the airport, we visited the lovely area of Santa Eulalia and a multi-cuisine al fresco place called Caos. It has very good Google reviews (4.7) and seemed as good a choice as any. Despite others ordering pizza for the 5 meal that trip, I opted for the local version of bouillabaisse.

It was served with some sliced bread rather than the crisp coutons with rouille, but the flavour of the dish was lovely and strong with the garlic seafood broth coming through. One large prawn nestled on top - I could easily have done with a few more, but sadly not.

As with all other places eaten in Ibiza, I would eat there again but wouldn't go out of my way to get there again.

There's two Blue Marlin restaurants - one in the marina and one far south along the beach. Obviously the beach one is the choice provided you are happy to transport yourselves out there.

Once there you are met with lots of tables of high-society guests squeezed together, reflective prices of food and drinks, a couple of models doing catwalks down up and down past the tables, a dancefloor/music area with dj and canopy, and a lovely rock beach area where others lie and drink. Not a bad place if you have the $.

The special whole fish was €90/kg - so 1.2kg semi-reasonably fed 5 of us. But really it was only because there was extra plates of squid (dishes were about €20-40 each even for a starter), nibbles, and because I asked for the fish head, fins and skin because otherwise they would waste it.

I'm happy to have experienced it once (similar to Nikki Beach) but my bank balance doesn't fit in there. If you do go, make sure it is for more than just a meal. Enjoy the beach and music paradise.

Although situated across a lovely little beach, there was a surprisingly low number of tourists in this place probably due to the town being quite up far north-east of the island. We actually wanted to go back to Restaurante Del Mar (http://eatlikeushi.posthaven.com/restaurante-del-mar-ibiza-08-2018) but unfortunately it is closed on Mondays.

For the 6 of us hungry males, 3 portions of the mixed seafood grill and 3 portions of the mixed paella was too much, and in fact fed another 3 of us for dinner that evening.

The fish was a little disappointing with most of it being cooked too much and having a dry texture. However the rest of the items were fine. The rice was very strongly salted and didn't have a crisp base unfortunately. But overall alright.

Not a bad option in the area if you don't mind being away from the beach itself.

Apparently the paella at this place is well known - if nothing else, they can serve it large. This enormous pan was to serve 8 at a cost of about €142. It fed 9 people reasonably well, although being the 9th person I didn't get a prawn which was quite disappointing. It was very strongly flavoured but didn't have a crisp base at all which I hoped for.

Overall decent but not worth travelling all the way north-east of the island just for this.

I wanted to try their base seafood dishes but unfortunately they were closed on the Monday of the next visit.
