Authentic, traditional home cooking - this great restaurant feels almost a deliberate antithesis to the dives of San Antonio. Restaurants like this are hard to find on such a tourist-dominated island, so it's definitely worth checking out if you're staying anywhere nearby. An Ibizan dish of lamb stew with saffron potatoes was beautifully tender.
C/ Cervantes no 4 - near the old church in San Antonio. Tel 971 34 62 52. Closed Tuesdays.
This auction house-cum-bar is in an artisan village, Santa Gertrudis. It's a great place to watch the world go by with a Rioja and fantastic tapas.
Santa Gertrudis is about 10km from San Antonio;

My favourite bar is Plastik in uptown San Antonio - it's a really cool place to have a drink and chat to friends.
Set amongst lush bamboos and Buddhas, Bambuddha Grove is an impressive looking restaurant serving excellent Mediterranean and Asian food in an authentic Thai building, which I believe was especially imported and built on the spot. The food in the restaurant is fantastic and the seperate bar with djs is great for relaxing over a cocktail.
Apdo. Correos 625 - five minutes from Santa Eulalia;

An elegant dining room and rooftop bar with spectacular views of Ibiza Old Town from the terraces. Equally spectacular is the fantastic French cuisine, which is always presented beautifully - and tastes even better than it looks. Admittedly expensive but worth it as a holiday treat!
San Rafael, just in front of the old white church;

Two of the best clubs in Ibiza! Some of the best nights (and days) out I've had have been spent on the terrace at Pacha and Space, with a drink in my hand and a smile on my face. The great atmosphere at both these clubs more than makes up for the outrageous drinks prices.
Pacha: Av Ocho de Agosto, opposite the marina in Ibiza Town;

Space: Playa D'en Bossa;
