Villa Mercedes – Sophisticated Marina Dining in San Antonio, Ibiza.
Nestled along the picturesque marina of San Antonio, Villa Mercedes is a standout dining destination that effortlessly blends laid-back Ibiza charm with an air of refined sophistication. Housed in around a beautifully restored old villa terrace and gardens, this elegant restaurant offers an inviting escape from the bustle of the this busy party capitol, while still placing you at the heart of one of Ibiza’s most iconic waterfronts.
As you step through its gates, you're greeted by a lush Mediterranean garden terrace — lantern-lit in the evenings and humming with soft warm music vibes and warm conversation. The setting is chic yet relaxed, where crisp linen meets the scent of salt air, and the staff strike a perfect balance between professional attentiveness and friendly familiarity.
The menu is a celebration of Mediterranean cuisine, infused with a modern flair. Think grilled octopus with smoky paprika aioli, freshly caught Seabass with a citrus-herb emulsion, or hand-cut beef tartare. Vegan and vegetarian options are thoughtfully curated, and the cocktail list rivals any in Ibiza — with expert mixologists crafting drinks as vibrant and stylish as the venue itself.
Point to Note: Be aware that the menu can change as what is printed on the menu display at the entrance is not always what is selected that evening at the table menu.

Whether you're seated under the soft lighting with a view of moored yachts or enjoying a more intimate corner indoors, the ambience feels effortlessly elegant.

Read moreMade a return visit last night 18/08/22 and it is still very good but there were a few hiccups... we ordered the bread basket & aoli on arrival and whilst chatting time passed by and after 30 mins I asked where it was and had to order again ... fair enough but it then took a further 30 mins for the starters ( tables near us had their starters & mains by the time our starters arrived ) anyhow the aubergine in a teriyaki sauce plus prawns were really good. For our mains we both had the slow cooked cod , cooked to perfection and delicious but the portions were extremely small, I'm not suggesting a full cod but at the price charged I did feel underwhelmed... it was served on a side dish. I don't like to be over critical but there you go
We visited Villa Mercedes and had a great dinner so it was a no brainer to call in again and we're so happy we did as it was superb. Our waitress was so nice .... really made us feel welcome, so thank you 👏👏 Having read good comments about the fish tacos we ordered these and garlic king prawns for our starters and yes the tacos are very good, prawns delicious. For our mains I had the bbq ribs ( must be the best I've ever had and I know my ribs 😁) served with yucca chips and a side order of mac & cheese. My wife had the fillet mignon, cooked to perfection and accompanied by peppers padron and fries. Both mains were outstanding so great job by the chefs !!! Prices are at the higher end but you do get what you pay for and that excellent service, amazing food in beautiful garden setting. No hesitation in recommending Villa Mercedes 10/10 Can't...
Read moreFirstly, we ordered the food and the setting was good and the only good thing. They then brought over food we did not order and the the first woman told us that she would take it off the bill, the second took the food and forced it on our table. We then told her we did not order it and she proceeded to tell us that we were wrong. Eventually they took this back. They then brought over our steaks and we asked for medium cooked. My steak and my girlfriends was so raw it was mooing. We called over the waiter and another girl told us that we were wrong again and that this is ‘Spanish medium’. Absolute new one on me as what is the point in asking for medium if it’s going to be raw. So they took this back and then recooked the steak, it come back burnt and had a awful charcoal taste, and part of the meat was still raw. Absolutely terrible, not to mention the ‘large’ beer that come in a wine glass. It couldn’t get much worse than this. If your reading this don’t both and spend your money at a much cheaper and nicer restaurant. This is the worst I’ve been to by a mile. Oh p.s if you do go, be aware of the ketchup scam that takes place. This is where they ask if you would like some sauce like ketchup and Mayo, and proceed to charge you 5 euro a pot....
