Whether you are a foodie or just curious about the local delicacies, Ibiza Food Tours offers the perfect way to learn about - and sample - the best food and drink Ibiza and Spain have to offer.
Food in Ibiza is influenced by the many different cultures that have been present on the island over the centuries, from the Phoenicians to the Romans and the Moors, as well as those of mainland Spain.
On an Ibiza Food Tour, you will taste a treasure trove of delights as you walk the streets of Ibiza Town, stopping at authentic local restaurants, tapas bars, tea shops, ice cream parlours and more. Along the way, you get to meet charismatic restaurateurs and talented chefs while listening to fascinating and quirky stories about local food production and the culinary scene.
If you are a single traveller, then the Original Tour is a perfect opportunity to mix with and meet new people. The Premium Tour is ideal for those who prefer to enjoy the tour in privacy with family, friends or work colleagues.
Both tours can be booked from Tuesday to Saturday evenings, with at least 24 hours' notice (subject to confirmation by Ibiza Food Tours).
The tours starts at 18.00 h from the hippy statue in the historic port of Ibiza Town, the centre for business, trading and meeting people for thousands of years. The tours are equivalent of eating dinner and last 3.5 hours.
ORIGINAL IBIZA FOOD TOUR
On a typical tour, you might visit the oldest bar in the port of Ibiza. From here you could continue the experience with a stop at one of the most special restaurants on Ibiza, the 'living room' of chef Boris. This wonderful chef worked at a famous Michelin-starred restaurant in Copenhagen, and now he prepares the most amazing tapas for you while using the best fresh produce grown on the island.
With the biggest & most prestigious jamón (Spanish ham) supplier in Ibiza, you learn about the amazing Pata Negra, or Black Iberian pig, and the curing process that leads to the sweet and complex flavours in Jamón Iberico.
A very popular stop is at a quirky place that serves a bocadillo (sandwich) of Ibizan sobrasada (typical Ibizan cured sausage), Mahon cheese and honey also from Ibiza. You will also be taken to a bustling Spanish restaurant popular with the locals to taste more delicious tapas.
The tour normally finishes with a short walk through the old town to taste some delicious locally-produced ice cream.
