At the Es Torrent restaurant we have launched, through this website, a new online reservation system that allows our diners to request a table with a pre-established schedule. The tool is open to requests for up to 20 diners and, in the case of larger groups, the same procedure as always must be carried out; that is, write an email...
The recipes made with local fish, with dishes such as‘ bullit de peix ’, barbecue or seafood rice, are the best known in Ibiza. The island's sea, however, provides a seafood of extraordinary quality, with four essential products: red shrimp, lobster, Norway lobster and Royal Norway lobster. Below, we explain why they are so special and how we like to...
The restaurant management has already decided on an official date for the opening of Es Torrent this 2024 season. It will be in just over a month, on Friday, April 19.

One of the essential starters in the Es Torrent menu, and which often, at the request of customers, also serves as a garnish for certain fish, molluscs and seafood, are the famous Padrón Peppers. We import them from Galicia and, in general, they come to us soft, without great surprises in the form of spiciness. The cultivation of this variety of...
It is surprising how the Ibiza recipe book can combine identical ingredients and culinary techniques, offering dishes with notable differences. A good example are three of the dishes that are an indispensable part of Es Torrent's offer and the island's gastronomic tradition: bullit, guisat and brine.

One of the most abundant and unknown foods in Ibiza is carob, the fruit of the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua), which is a tree belonging to the legume family. Spain is the world's largest producer, with between 60,000 and 80,000 tons per year, and the Balearic archipelago generates 20% of all this production. The landscape of Ibiza is undoubtedly represented...

A few months will be left in which we have been able to serve our customers with absolute normality, as happened last year, after the difficult years of the pandemic. As always, our kitchen team has prepared thousands of paellas, noodles, ‘bullits...
How time flies! We face the final stretch of the 2023 season and, looking back, we discover that we have been offering seafood recipes for 37 years in this idyllic cove in the south of Ibiza. We opened our doors in the summer of 1986, on what was then a completely isolated and unknown shore, which went unnoticed by tourists and...
The island's gastronomy offers an amalgam of extraordinary products, among which there is one that stands out very much: the red prawn (Aristeus antennatus), which is also very scarce this season. Today we explain the reasons for its extraordinary quality through five features that make it unique. 1 ) Flavour: Its greatest virtue lies in the potency of its flavour, which...
