El Clodenis

    Ibiza is blessed with a plethora of stunning eateries, all delivering a
    unique experience as well as food to die for. On an island more famous
    for it’s four four beats, the rise of the restaurant has been
    extraordinary in recent years, with many of the world’s top
    restaurateurs choosing Ibiza as a destination for their concept. There
    are, however, a small collection of Ibiza restaurants that have provided
    a constant throughout the years and El Clodenis in San Rafael is one of
    these, a true Ibiza legend in every sense of the world. The stunning
    traditional venue in the heart of San Rafael, yards from the entrance to
    the church, has delivered quality food to its loyal customers for 25
    years.

    El Clodenis has a special place in the heart of Essentialibiza director
    Charlie Chester; it’s where his guests enjoyed drinks prior to attending
    his wedding to Jo Mills in the church across the narrow street. The
    entrance is subtle and leads into a small garden area where there are
    olive trees over one hundred years old. The history is the first thing
    that makes an impression; this is a venue that could tell a few tales if
    the walls could speak! The main garden area is at the other side of the
    old building but it is closed until next season now and we choose to sit
    inside the old restaurant. The stone walls and original floors point to
    the character of the venue and the d�cor compliments them perfectly,
    adding some subtle touches of glamour, the restaurant is bursting with
    good taste.
