Most people mistake Ibiza as an island for endless imbibing and late night partying. Rarely do we even stop to consider it as a gastronomical hotspot or in this case, island. But if you look at a map, you can immediately see that its locale is ripe for some delectable endeavors.

Restaurant El Olivio is a rare foodie find—one that combines the best elements of Ibiza fashion and food with its sleek interior and Balearic inspired menu. Co-owned and operated by Pierrick and Frederick who elegantly combine their mutual affection and love for the island and Catalan cuisine, allowing them to maintain their restaurant with endlessly delicious food.

Pierrick runs the front of the house while Frederick functions as the culinary wizard in the kitchen—sourcing only the best and freshest produce in order to serve forth some tasty dishes. Be sure to try the traditional Spanish black rice with squid or the local Ibiza skate drizzled in a butter caper sauce. Both should do the trick as well as remind you that Ibiza is not beholden to endless nights of mojitos and clubbing.
