At the back of the stunning crystal blue, water kissed cove of Cala
Gracioneta is the little known gem that is El Chiringuito. Now part of
the Cafe Mambo group, this firm favourite with the locals is a superb
setting for romantic, fairytale weddings, the cove with its shelved bay
and golden sands.
Access to Cala Gracioneta can be found by taking a drive down a winding
road from San Antonio and then a gentle tree lined stroll to the back of
the beach where you’ll find the restaurant.
The restaurant by day is a chilled out family favourite, with children
able to splash and play safely in the gently shelved bay. Breakfast is
served from 10am in relaxed rustic style with fresh coffee and juices
and can be taken either on the terrace in the shade or to your beach
lounger if you desire. The lunch menu, served from 12:30 offers a choice
menu of fresh fish and seafood or traditional tapas along with many
other lighter bites.
For those of you looking to work off a little lunch, why not go and
explore the neighbouring Gala Gracio, visitors discover this little gem
by taking a short walk up and along the perimeter of the coastal rocks.
As you return to Cala Gracioneta and as the sun sets, the merriment of
the day slowly changes into the gentle ambiance of evening laughter and
the tinkling of glasses. All of your senses are stimulated as you listen
to the sound of the waves caressing the beach whilst you breathe in the
warm pine scented air. Many guests of the restaurant take glasses of
champagne down to waters edge to dip a toe and share a moment of
privacy.
By evening, the restaurant’s true Ibicencan chef cooks up house
specialities of freshly caught sole to an excellent and arguably best on
the island paella. Also on the menu are fresh pastas, healthy salads and
always a specials selection. Entertainment varies from occasional beach
performers dancing with fire to the regular Friday and Saturday nights
at the restaurant. El Chiringuito will delight you with of the
passionate Tango on a Friday night to the energetic live flamenco (not
to be missed) on a Saturday performed from 9pm by Gypsy Moreno of the
Gypsy Kings. Don’t forget, if you are thinking of having that special
day at El Chiringuito, the Essential Ibiza family are fully equipped and
experience to cater for every possible VIP or Wedding requirement.
