A small village which retains its rustic charm, yet embraces the multicultural community which Ibiza so naturally welcomes, Santa Gertrudis last year enjoyed the arrival of a new and welcome addition to the already thriving gastronomic scene which is an inherent part of the attraction of this bohemian location.
Situated in the centre of the island, some think of Santa Gertrudis as the heart of Ibiza, and certainly, it is a place where forward thinking, innovative and creative restauranteurs look to when searching for the perfect place to showcase their innovative new dining destinations.
Last year, the town was privileged to enjoy the arrival of Finca La Plaza, who brought a fresh perspective and a firm focus on providing their clients with the finest quality cuisine, created from the freshest and locally sourced ingredients, and of course, their first season was quite simply a resounding success, winning over the hearts of both island residents and visitors alike.
So, what was the key element to their achievements last year, and more importantly, what can we expect for the season ahead? From a personal perspective, having enjoyed the experience on several occasions, it is a winning combination of a dedication to excellence, which is reflected not only in the diverse selection of food and drink, but the obvious love and attention which has gone into creating a space where one can dine amidst the fragrant trees and flowers, in the beautifully landscaped alfresco garden dining area, under a canopy of twinkling stars.
We can think of no better place to enjoy a dinner beneath the celebrated skies of Ibiza, and with the attentive service, artfully created ambience and of course, divine dishes, it’s little wonder that we all have great expectations for the year ahead.
For 2019, we can of course expect the same exceptional level of service, and the very highest standards of their culinary offerings, along with the exciting additions of some truly unmissable delicacies to last year’s menu.
We at Ibiza Style have of course got the insider tips on the hottest new treats for you to feast in this summer.Having carefully studied the new menu, we are most excited to have tasted the sautéed baby squid, served with roasted iberian ham and parsley and garlic oil as an appetiser, this will surely provoke your appetite for the next courses. As a main, our new favourite addition is the ravioli with burrata, a winning combination when served with creamy courgette fresh mint and tomato, a tantalising sensation for your tastebuds. As a fitting finale, we can recommend the Gianduja creamy hazelnut ice cream, a perfect way to cleanse and satisfy your palate.
Of course, the restaurant also boasts a cutting edge wine list, with a dedicated sommelier on hand to assist you to ensure that your selection accompanies your choice of cuisines to absolute perfection.
To summarise, should you seek a distinguished restaurant which holds in its heart the traditions of the island, whilst maintaining a modern take, you need look no further than Finca La Plaza
Of course, the restaurant in Santa Gertrudis enjoys the benefits of being part of the Beachouse group, and we simply adore the fact that this venue is associated with the most elegant beach club on Playa d’en Bossa, which opens its doors on 9th May, as well as one of the island’s chicest boutique hotels, Mikasa, perfectly situated in Marina Botafoch, and for those looking for a super healthy lunch on the go, Massa Coffee, just around the corner from Mikasa, a winning combination if we ever saw one.
More exciting and informative news on these other fabulous venues can be seen in the next editions of Ibiza style, in the meantime, we will be enjoying the divine offerings at La Finca la Plaza, come and join us!
